Cover Illustration: Double staining of claudin-5 (red fluorescence) and beta-actin (green) in the glomerulus of mouse kidney in a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue. Beta-actin and claudin-5 colocalize along the capillary walls showing yellow to orange color, which might correspond to pedicels of podocytes. Beta-actin is also demonstrated in the mesangial cells. Nuclei were stained with the DNA-specific dye DAPI (blue fluorescence). (Courtesy of Shuji Yamashita and Osamu Katsumata.)

Preface The story of histochemistry goes a long way back and, in the last 150 years, has evolved in parallel with the operating instruments, from bright field microscopy to super-resolution microscopy. In this evolution resides the uniqueness of this science. Compared to the biochemical and molecul
