medical illustration of Bees and flowers represent immune dysfunction in PTEN-deficient gliomas in this editorial illustration. Glioma cells overexpress SPP-1, which attracts macrophages. Flowers represent uncontrolled tumor growth. SPP-1 changes macrophage behavior, promoting tumor growth. To explain complex molecular processes for Keywords: PTEN-deficient glioma, macrophage signaling, SPP-1, tumor microenvironment, immune evasion, cancer immunology.
Next medical illustration of This editorial cover illustration features zebrafish swimming through DNA-shaped seaweed toward a treasure chest filled with golden chromosomes. This visual metaphor represents the breakthrough linking the zebrafish “golden gene” to human pigmentation and melanoma. The glowing chest symbolizes new insights into melanoma biology using zebrafish as a model organism. Ideal for communicating advancements in cancer genetics and translational research.

Zebrafish and the Gold Standard of Research
