Cover

Cover: Colocalization of α₅-integrin with u-PAR in lamellipodia of spreading human lung fibroblasts. Fibroblasts were attached to fibronectin-coated glass coverslips for 15–30 min in attachment assay buffer. The cells were fixed and then immunostained for u-PAR (green) and for α₅-integrins (red). Photomicrographs were performed (original magnification, ×1000), and the basal 1-μm Z-stack images were selected and merged. Yellow color indicates colocalization. Lamellipodia are the peripheral protrusive structures. From Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 297: L97–L108, 2009.
