The image shows pancreatic islets in mice, specialised tissues that host beta cells. On the left, a healthy pancreatic islet is shown with its typical morphology with alpha cells in the periphery and beta cells in the core of the islet. On the right, mice with a mutation in Srrm3 that knock out the cells’ ability to regulate microexon inclusion results in islets with altered morphology and cell identity. This and other functional alterations ultimately impacts on the release of insulin. Jonas Juan Mateu

This shows a cross-section of a mouse lung infected with Pseudonomas aeruginosa. The mouse was treated with a version of Mycoplasma pneumoniae that could not produce therapeutic molecules, resulting in severe pneumoniae. This is characterised by massive infiltration of inflammatory cells into the alveolar septa, resulting in loss of air in the alveoli. Credit: Rocco Mazzolini/CRG
