On the back cover: Photomicrographs of skin sections. The two heart shape are the fortuitous entering of dermis into the epidermis that occurred during sectioning. The flower shape is actually a hair follicle. The images were taken by Anna Batistatou, Assistant Professor of Pathology, and Konstantinos Charalabopoulos, Associate Professor of Physiology, both at the University of Ioannina Medical School, in Greece.
