Integrins: masters and slaves of endocytic transport
Patrick T. Caswell, Suryakiran Vadrevu & Jim C. Norman
Published online: 11 November 2009 | doi:10.1038/nrm2799
How integrins are trafficked by endocytosis markedly affects their distribution and function. Recent studies examining the molecular mechanisms of integrin trafficking show that it affects the recycling of key signalling receptors to influence cellular processes such as cytokinesis, cell migration and tumour angiogenesis.
Tissue remodelling through branching morphogenesis
Markus Affolter, Rolf Zeller & Emmanuel Caussinus
Published online: 04 November 2009 | doi:10.1038/nrm2797
Branched structures are present at all levels of organization in living organisms. Recent studies suggest that cell competition and cell rearrangements might be conserved key features in branch formation that are controlled by local cell signalling events.

Essay
A biomedical adventurers' guide to navigating between careers in academia and industry
Giulio Superti-Furga
Published online: 27 October 2009 | doi:10.1038/nrm2796
Traditional boundaries between the public and private research sectors have become blurred. This creates the opportunity for the adventurous scientist to embrace a career that moves between academia and industry, while boldly and consciously sampling selected skill sets along the way.
About AOP
Until print versions of AOP papers are published, they should be cited in the style "Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology AOP, published online day month year; doi:10.1038/nrmXXX". Once the print version (identical to the AOP) is published, it should be cited as follows: "Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology volume number, page range (year); doi:10.1038/nrmXXX".
