Cover image: The figure on the cover (from Glant et al, page 2213) illustrates the histologic features of the knee joint of a transgenic mouse expressing the TSG-6 (tumor necrosis factor-induced protein 6) protein in cartilage. The section was stained with Safranin O to demonstrate sulfated proteoglycans. This system was used to characterize the chondroprotective effect of TSG-6 in an antigen-induced arthritis model.
