Maintaining migration speed
Letter byMigrating dendritic cells can adapt their adhesive properties to switch between integrin-dependent and -independent modes of migration. Sixt and colleagues found that by modulating their actin polymerization dynamics, cells can maintain a steady migration speed through a changing environment.

Endocytosis control
Article by Pant et al.The RME1 ATPases are implicated in endocytic recycling. Grant and colleagues show that C. elegans RME1 interacts with Amphiphysin to regulate endocytic recycling in vivo and the two proteins cooperate in the generation of cargo carriers in vitro. The interaction is conserved in other eukaryotes.
Nature Milestones in
Light Microscopy
Light microscopy is the focus of the latest addition to our Milestone series. Light microscopy has provided the dominant data stream increasing our understanding of cell biology, and new powerful imaging tools and techniques continue to be developed. The Nature Milestones in Light Microscopy supplement contains a series of short articles presenting key developments, from the first microscope to 'super-resolution' imaging.
Microbial host cell subversion
To highlight advances in our understanding of the mechanisms by which microorganisms tailor cellular pathways to their own needs, Nature Reviews Microbiology and Nature Cell Biology present a set of specially commissioned articles that focus on some of the key pathways in host cells that are subverted by microorganisms during infection or colonization. These articles are freely available to registered users for 2 months after publication.
The Signaling Gateway
The one-stop free resource for cell signaling researchers.
The UCSD-Nature Molecule Pages has just published its 500th expert-authored, peer-reviewed Molecule Page. Each month, Nature Publishing Group publishes five to ten of these comprehensive, freely available review articles on a diverse set of signaling molecules ranging from transcription factors to membrane receptors. Our new user guide provides a quick overview of the anatomy of a published Molecule Page.
Structural Genomics Knowledgebase
A window onto the world of protein structure has opened with the new, free PSI-Nature Structural Genomics Knowledgebase (PSI SGKB). The site is designed to turn the products of the Protein Structure Initiative into knowledge that is important for understanding living systems and disease, complemented with structural biology updates from Nature Publishing Group.
