About the Cover
Cover picture: Confocal image of the sensory epithelium excised from the developing mouse utricle, a vestibular organ, at embryonic day 18 (E18). The tissue was stained with phalloidin (green) to illuminate the actin-rich hair bundles and the actin belt that rings the apical surface of each cell. Antitubulin (blue) labels the kinocilium. Significant functional maturation of vestibular hair cells occurs the week before birth (approximately E20). For details, see the article by Géléoc et al. in this issue (pages 11148-11159).
