The Impact
We designed a cover that sets a scene within the brain, illuminated by CD49f, the protein marker for astrocytes. In this visual, astrocytes in a normal state are shown supporting neuronal activity. However, in an inflamed state, they become reactive, secreting a toxin that harms neurons. Though our design wasn’t chosen for the final cover, Angelique and I had a lot of fun creating it together, and we’re truly proud of what we accomplished!
