On the cover: Immunofluorescence microscopic photographs of the epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) of myeloid-specific HIF-1α knockout mice (left) and wild-type mice (right). Immunofluorescence of eWAT was performed with anti-CD31 antibody (green), anti-CD13 antibody (red), and DAPI (blue) for endothelial cells, pericytes, and nucleus in eWAT, respectively. Scale bar, 50 μm. Image courtesy of Akiko Takikawa and Seiji Yamamoto, First Department of Internal Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama, Japan.
