Cover image:
The cover art shows a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans roundworm. Fluorescent imaging
shows an animal that expresses a GFAT-1::CFP fusion protein under control of the GFAT-1 promoter.
GFAT-1 is the key enzyme of the metabolic hexosamine pathway and is most strongly expressed in the
animal’s pharynx and in the skin precursor cells, the so called seam cells.
