About Cover

The cover shows a sperm protein designated as rtSH3p13(red fluorescence labeled) was located in acrosome region of germ cells in various steps in spermiogenesis. The rtSH3p13 protein was further proved to be involved in clathrin-mediated vesicular traffic in germ cells and may function in acrosome biogenesis. The surrounding schematic diagram shows the process of acrosome biogenesis during spermiogenesis, by which spermatids mature into sperm cells. (see page 197-207 of this issue by Qiao Y et al. for more details).
