About the Cover
COVER:
Growth of A549 cells is suppressed by eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)-derived prostaglandin E3 .
Control cells (top left) appear green (calcein AM stained) while apoptotic cells affected by EPA
appear blue (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole stained; top right panel).
A selective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor, celecoxib, prevented growth inhibition by EPA
(middle panels), whereas a COX-1 inhibitor failed to rescue EPA-treated cells (bottom panels).
