title: Vascular Morphogenesis: An Integrin and Fibronectin Highway.
abstract: A new study shows that endothelial cells use synaptic-like machinery to control polarized secretion and deposition of newly synthesised fibronectin. This process is coupled to active integrin recycling to the same locations and is fundamental for vascular development in zebrafish.
