On the cover: Histology of an ankle joint obtained from a mouse treated with K/B×N serum, but administered daily doses of rapamycin. The sample is stained with Alcian blue to detect glycosaminoglycans. Mouse models of both Lyme-associated and K/B×N-associated arthritis were suppressed by rapamycin treatment, concurrent with reduced lysosomal exocytosis. Bramwell, K. K. C., K. Mock, Y. Ma, J. H.
