The April 2026 cover of JBC depicts mitochondrial trafficking along axonal microtubules driven by Kinesin-1 motors. The BPA molecule (fluorescent pink) interacts with the Kinesin-1 motor domain (orange), interfering with the normal bidirectional transport system that maintains mitochondrial trafficking and energy homeostasis in neurons.
