Drosophila testes show their true apoptotic colors.

Caspases promote apoptotic cell death by cleaving cellular proteins. Multiple caspase cascades are shown to be required for the non-apoptotic process of sperm development. The cover shows images of Drosophila testes labeled with several different antibodies. Coincidentally, when these are viewed as letters they spell "PLoS". (See Huh, et al.)
