The cover picture highlights some of the problems in mammalian reproduction and development that have been elucidated by the research of Dr Anne McLaren. The background shows a section through an ovary full of oocytes in primordial follicles. The foreground shows from upper left, clockwise: a mouse uterus with implanting embryos 6 days after fertilization. Increased vascular permeability at the implantation site is revealed by intravenous injection of Chicago Blue B dye; alkaline phosphatase positive primordial germ cells migrating from the base of the allantois along the hind gut; two albino mice which developed from embryos that were cultured in vitro and then implanted in an agouti foster mother, and a chimeric mouse.
