Past Awards 2010

Biology of the Cell 2010 - Cover of the Year: August

The cover shows hippocampal neurons on glia developing a network of dendrites (MAP2; red) which are contacted by presynaptic sites (Synapsin1; green) after 3 weeks in culture. Although synaptic vesicle fusion delays neurite outgrowth during early development, it is not required for establishing the mature network.

Congratulations to Tatiana Boiko for presenting this image of hippocampal neurons for our August journal cover, judged to be the most visually appealing cover of the issues published in 2010. Tatiana will receive a subscription to Biology of the Cell as part of the award.
