On the cover: The image shows a section of human pancreas tissue, stained with Masson trichrome blue, from a 59-year-old male donor without diabetes. This section demonstrates the range of histologic findings present in the normal human pancreas: fibrosis (stained with blue), pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia with surrounding acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (large structure in upper right, behind the cover title box), normal appearing islets (light pink cell clusters) and acini (darker-red-stained cell clusters), and adipocytes (large white cells).
