Invited for this month's cover picture are Dr. Masamune Morita, Dr. Kaoru Katoh and Dr. Naohiro Noda from the Biomedical Research Institute at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST, Japan). The cover picture shows direct monitoring of real-time activity of bacterial growth at the single-cell level inside giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs); entrapped single bacterial cells are actively increasing to a great number of cells inside GUVs. This study shows new applications for GUVs, and can offer a novel tool for culturing bacteria in bacterial studies.

本月封面图片的受邀者是来自日本国立先进工业科学技术研究所（AIST）生物医学研究所的森田正宗博士、加藤薰博士和野田直浩博士。封面图片展示了在巨型单层囊泡（GUV）内单细胞水平上对细菌生长实时活动的直接监测；被包裹的单个细菌细胞在GUV内积极增殖为大量细胞。这项研究展示了GUV的新应用，并可为细菌研究中的细菌培养提供一种新工具。在https://doi.org/10.1002/open.201800126上阅读他们通讯文章的全文。
