Cover picture: Logo for the 2006 SGP Symposium "Chemotaxis, Invasion, and Phagocytosis: From Bacteria to Humans." Bacteria invade epithelial cells, where they may be killed or survive within membrane-bound compartments after escaping to the cytosol. Bacteria can also traverse the epithelial barrier, attracting phagocytic cells of the innate immune system. Chemotaxis, invasion, and phagocytosis play a central role in the pathogenesis and clearance of infection (logo provided by Paul Paroutis).
