Abstract
Front cover: This representative chromaffin cell cultured and visualized with confocal microscopy shows the importance of the F-actin cortex to distribute organelles in this neurosecretory model. The F-actin cortex visualized with transmitted light microscopy (in white) is responsible for the partition of chromaffin granules (red) and mitochondria (green) in cortical and perinuclear populations due to their retention in the submembranar F-actin network, illustrated in this figure in the graphic inserted in the top. Instead, other organelles like the ER (blue) do not seem to present subpopulations.This article is part of a Review series “Chromaffin Cells ISCCB 2015”. Read the full article ‘F-actin cytoskeleton and the fate of organelles in chromaffin cells’ by J. Villanueva, Y. Gimenez-Molina, S. Viniegra and L. M. Gutiérrez (J. Neurochem. 2016, vol. 137 (6), pp. 860–866) on doi: 10.1111/jnc.13560
