J Cell Biol. 158:2002;953-965 This paper is important because it points out differences between N-cadherin signaling and E-cadherin signaling. This paper proposes that N-cadherin-mediated contacts promote myogenesis by positively regulating RhoA and negatively regulating Rac1 and Cdc42.

Mol Biol Cell. 13:2002;1175-1189 This paper examines the mechanism whereby Rac1 activation is maintained in endothelial cells and finds that tiam1, a rac1-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor, is localized to junctions when cells make contact via VE-cadherin.
