The cover image of JGP July issue shows the mechanism by which MARP1 (orange) locks titinN2A (blue) to the thin filament in sarcomeres. Titin domains: Ig, red; PEVK, yellow; fibronectin, white. Robbert van der Pijl et al. show that MARP1 locks titin to the thin filament to increase passive force (https://bit.ly/3zLIt4J).

On the cover of JEM July issue: the antigen-presenting molecule CD1a (white) binds long chain sphingomyelin (blue), which protrudes to the CD1a surface and blocks the approach of T cell receptors (orange and pink). This original image was made by Dr. Erica Tandori, who is an artist in residence at Monash University. She has worked together with Marcin Wegrecki and Jamie Rossjohn to generate an image that captures the main message of the paper by Cotton et al. (https://bit.ly/3fvY8vG).
