The inside cover picture shows the development of thiazole-based antiprion agents from 5-amino compounds (top left) towards the discovery of a new lead compound bearing a 5-carboxamide sub- stituent (bottom left). The background depicts spongiotic brain tissue from a case of variant CJD, as a reminder of the pressing need for progress in treating these devastating neurological disorders (Photo source: Public Image Health Library; Photo credit: S.
