We’ve made an artistic interpretation of an eosinophil for the cover of the May edition of Haematologica. Eosinophils together with Neutrophils and Basophils are the three types of granulocytes present in human blood. They have a characteristic lobed nucleus (two to four lobes). Eosinophils are involved in the immune cell functions helping to destroy tumor cells and promote the repair of damaged tissue among other...
Also this month we designed the cover for the peer reviewed journal Haematologica. We have chosen for the molecular structure of the T-cell receptor. On the cover you can see the extracellular part of the receptor that sticks out of the plasma membrane. Two different protein chains are represented because the T-cell receptor is a heterodimer. The structure is based on the crystallographic data that are publicly available in the PDB database. Hope you like...
The march edition of Haematologica features our artistic impression of a white blood cell on the cover. To be more specific, it is a 3D rendering of a lymphocyte. As you might know, there are many different types of white blood cells, each of them having different characteristics and functions. There are 3 main types of lymphocytes, T-cells, B-cells and NK-cells. They are relatively small, have a big nucleus and have a spherical shape. Lymphocytes have their main function in the immune system to combat infections and pathogens.

Have you ever thought about this…
Everyone has talents and skills. In many cases these talents and skills are unique. They often even reach extra-ordinary levels.
But…. They stay unnoticed too… Nobody except some close relatives and friends will ever experience them.
That’s a shame.
A loss of talent
A lost opportunity to give something to the world
And you know why? Most people don’t make the effort to get noticed. Most people think that talent will be picked up if the time is right. Somebody will see it and then everything...
The February edition of the journal Haematologica is out!
On the cover you can see our artistic interpretation of a hemoglobin molecule. Hemoglobin is the metalloprotein that is responsible for the oxygen transport in our bodies. It is the main component of a red blood cell. About 95-97% of the dry content of red blood cells is hemoglobin.
Talking about red blood cells, the cover of the January edition features a red blood cell (also made by us). And in the future more components of the hematopoeitic system will get featured on the cover....
