COVER PHOTOGRAPH: Visualization of the developing neural tube and craniofacial structures using pH and membrane voltage reporter dyes in Xenopus laevis embryos. Manipulation of pH and membrane voltage via misexpression of subunit c of the H + ‐V‐ATPase produces craniofacial abnormalities that are capable of normalizing themselves as the animal develops and ages.
