title: High midsummer for small GTPases.
abstract: The recent FASEB meeting on 'Small GTPases and Cell dynamics' (Snowmass, 6-11 July, 2002) focused on the emerging connections between small GTPases and the actin and tubulin cytoskeletons, advances in understanding where and when these proteins are activated, and their role in directing intracellular traffic and cell polarity in systems ranging from fibroblasts in Petri dishes to neurons in living organisms. The variety and vigor of the presentations showed that this field of cell biology remains a fertile ground for discovery.
