On the cover: Inflammation is a multifaceted and varied immune response that is a critical protagonist in the fight against infection. Yet its dark side is equally potent. In autoimmune disease, inflammation wreaks havoc on self tissues and, when chronically activated, fans the flames of cancer. The cover image illustrates the interconnection between inflammation and diverse physiological processes by linking together the Latin terms for inflammation's main clinical symptoms—tumor (swelling), calor (heat), rubor (redness), and dolor (pain)—first recorded by Aulus Cornelius Celsus in the ancient Roman medical text De medicina. In the present day, our increasingly sophisticated appreciation of the cellular processes and molecular mediators that give rise to inflammation affords unprecedented opportunities for the treatment of human disease.
