Cover: Skin-resident macrophages (white) migrate towards a scratch wound (centre) in a zebrafish skin explant. To reach the wound margin, migrating macrophages must navigate through a dense network of epithelial cells, which are visualised using a reporter for epithelial junctions (α-catenin-Citrine, magenta). Live-cell imaging and chemical perturbations demonstrate that skin macrophages require microtubules to efficiently respond to tissue damage and navigate epithelial obstacles. See article by E. Peterman et al. (jcs264101).
