Front cover: Expression of basal membrane proteins by cells of the blood‐brain barrier. The illustration depicts cultured pericytes isolated from adult murine brain and grown in co‐culture with primary brain capillary endothelial cells (BCECs) and other glial cells to create an in vitro blood‐brain barrier. The pericytes expressed both alpha smooth muscle actin (red) and platelet derived growth factor receptor beta (green). Nuclei are identified with DAPI (blue).Read the full article ‘ Synthesis and deposition of basement membrane proteins by primary brain capillary endothelial cells in a murine model of the blood–brain barrier ’ by M. S. Thomsen, S. Birkelund, A. Burkhart, A. Stensballe and T. Moos ( J. Neurochem . 2017, vol. 140 (5), pp. 741–754) on doi: 10.1111/jnc.13747
