Cell. 12:2001;2711-2720 This is a fascinating study that elaborates on the adhesion-induced mechanism of Rho suppression that is transmitted via integrin-triggered Rho GAP activation. It is shown that Rho downregulation is necessary for both spreading and the establishment of cell polarity, and therefore for motility.

Cell Biol. 155:2001;1319-1332 The authors describe high-quality imaging of the distribution and properties of β3 integrins throughout the development of substrate adhesions from focal complexes to trailing focal adhesions. Adhesions are classified according to integrin density, and the apparent sliding of trailing adhesions is shown to correlate with a linear turnover of adhesion components. The role of tensile stress on integrin density is also emphasised.

CLASPs localise to a subset of plus-ends, preferentially in the front part of the cell and therefore may be involved in certain aspects of microtubule-dependent cell polarisation.

Cell Sci. 115:2002;2283-2291 This work shows that tensile stress applied to cells promotes microtubule polymerisation into the stressed regions and into adhesion foci amplified by stress. Microtubule polymerisation dynamics is therefore influenced by a mechanical force factor and thus joins the group of processes in which stress-induced conformational changes are associated with signal transmission.
