About the Cover
COVER:
Immunofluorescence images of the sterol response element binding protein (SREBP) in human umbilical vein endothelial
cells. In the presence of cholesterol (top), SREBP (red) colocalizes with the endoplasmic-reticulum-specific marker, protein disulfide
isomerase (green), outside of the 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole-stained nucleus (blue). After cholesterol deprivation (bottom), active
SREBP translocates to the nucleus (magenta), where it induces the expression of genes required for cholesterol and fatty acid homeostasis.
