On the cover: Bone marrow stromal cell monolayers were treated with a prototypic aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene (DMBA). Monolayers were washed, and cloned bone marrow pro/preB cells were centrifuged onto the monolayer. Fluorescent DMBA metabolites from stromal cells (pink) can be seen accumulating in adjacent B cells (blue), likely through membrane transfer. Teague, J. E., H-Y. Ryu,M. Kirber, D.H. Sherr, and J. J. Schlezinger. 2010. Proximal events in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced, stromal cell-dependent bone marrow B cell apoptosis: stromal cell–B cell communication and apoptosis signaling. J. Immunol. 185: 3369–3378.

Dr. Gerald Denis along with Dr. Catherine Costello are featured in the current issue of the National Center for Research Resources Reporter, an NIH publication that highlights interesting collaborations between researchers that have pushed the research frontier forward with instrument and scientific innovations. They are noted for their work on development of a proteomic signature for lymphoma, for which they designed and tested important new tools that will be widely applicable to diverse kinds of malignancies and immunological disorders.
