The cover picture depicts a firefly (BSJ-04-146) luring a moth (FAK) to the carnivorous plant (proteasome) and was designed by DrawImpacts.

Studio’s got a new intern today. 👶🎨
She’s only a few months old, but she’s already seen more journal covers than most!

Running a creative biz + parenting isn’t easy—but helping science move forward?
Totally worth the sleepless nights. 💛

The cover depicts human tonsils as one of the potential tissue sources for setting up immune organoids, which are represented by the interaction of T cells, B cells, and other immune cells in the “swimming pool” of a common tissue culture plate. 👄🥽
