05/20/2004 – The Featured Image was submitted by Dr. Honglin Luo and depicts a florescent image of tumor cells stained for beta-catenin (an important cellular protein involving cell survival) (red), cell skeleton protein (green) and nuclei (blue). Cells were pretreated with a drug which inhibits cell signaling resulting in an increased protein expression of beta-catenin, and then infected with coxsackievirus. This picture shows that inhibitor treatment leads to nuclear translocation of beta-catenin, which is associated with decreased virus-induced cell death.
