●Modelling the molecular circuitry of cancer. Hahn, W. C. & Weinberg, R. A. Nature Reviews Cancer May (2002). This review article is accompanied by a poster — in print and online — entitled 'A subway map of cancer pathways'.

●The GDNF family of neurotrophic factors: receptor mechanisms and signalling pathways. Airaksinen, M. S. & Saarma, M. Nature Reviews Neuroscience May (2002)

●Danger — misfolding proteins. Ellis, R. J. & Pinheiro, T. J. T. Nature 4 April (2002) News and Views article that discusses how aggregates that form early in the protein-folding process can be highly toxic to cells.

●Plant transposable elements: where genetics meets genomics. Feschotte, C., Jiang, N. & Wessler, S. R. Nature Reviews Genetics May (2002)

●New therapeutics modulating chemokine networks. Schwarz, M. K. & Wells, T. N. C. Nature Reviews Drug Discovery May (2002) Chemokine receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors — a fact that suggested it might be possible to find small-molecule antagonists. This review article discusses how such molecules, directed against chemokine receptors, are now beginning to emerge.

●An extensive network of coupling among gene expression machines. Maniatis, T. & Reed, R. Nature 4 April (2002) Review article that discusses the view that, in contrast to the traditional idea of a simple linear assembly line, a complex network has evolved to co-ordinate the activities of gene-expression machines.
