| Most cell migration studies are performed in 2D culture dishes, but new work suggests that studying cells migrating along 1D lines might give a better indication of how migration occurs in vivo. This biosights episode presents a paper by Doyle et al. in the Journal of Cell Biology, and includes excerpts from an interview with first author Andrew Doyle. Produced by Justin Paul and Ruth Williams. |

| Dictyostelium cells migrate in an orderly head-to-tail arrangement. They do this by leaving a trail of vesicles (thought to contain chemoattractant) for their fellow cells to follow. This biosights episode presents a paper by Kriebel et al. in The Journal of Cell Biology, and includes excerpts from an interview with senior author Carole Parent. Produced by Justin Paul and Ruth Williams. |

| In the June 29th edition of biobytes, Matthew Tyska (Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN) reveals how the intestinal brush border sends out packages of enzymes to combat gut pathogens (McConnell et al., JCB); Alwin Kraemer (German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg) explains how two centrosomal proteins mutated in neurodevelopmental disorders regulate mitotic entry (Tibelius et al., JCB); and JEM news editor Amy Maxmen describes how an immune pathway helps tumors grow (Wang et al., JEM). The show was written and produced by Amy Maxmen, Ben Short and Ruth Williams. Presented by Ruth Williams. |

| The January 19th issue of biobytes brings you highlights of the 2008 annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology. We learn how bone marrow transplants might stall neurodegeneration (Craig Montell, Johns Hopkins University Medical School, Baltimore, MD). JCB News Editor, Ben Short, tells us about David Boettiger's (University of Pennsylvania, PA) work on the extracellular matrix and cell signaling. We hear how cancer cells find their way into the brain (Joan Massagué, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY). And lastly, we learn that fly phagocytes get the midnight munchies for certain bugs (Mimi Shirasu-Hiza, Stanford University, CA) and that breast cancer cells can have very intimate living arrangements (Michael Overholtzer, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY). The show was written, presented and produced by Ruth Williams, with additional writing by Ben Short. |

abstract. listen.
| In the March edition of biobytes Craig Morrell (John Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore) tells us about a brain factor that also promotes blood-clotting, we find out from Dennis Discher (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia) how macrophages stop short of swallowing 'self' cells, Norma Andrews (Yale University, New Haven) explains how membranes are repaired by endocytosis and exocytosis, and we learn about a downside of an innate antibacterial response. Written, presented, and produced by Ruth Williams. |
