The cover of this edition of Clinical Science features representative images of Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stained sections of the cortex in sham and 5/6 nephrectomy (Nx) rats following 2 weeks of treatment with either 0.1M NaHCO 3, equimolar NaCl, or tap water (H2O). Panels show high power image of representative glomeruli.
