This month's cover highlights the article RudLOV is an optically synchronized cargo transport method revealing unexpected effects of dynasore by Akiko K. Satoh, Takunori Satoh and colleagues. The image shows the use of the optically synchronized cargo transport method RudLOV (retention using dark state of LOV2) that enables cargo (green) to be released only in a single cell. The bright right cell (overlay of green and magenta), but not the left cell, releases cargo from the ER that accumulates in the Golgi apparatus (magenta).
