Membranes and motors

The 55^th Harden Conference on the dynamics of membrane traffic convened on the 25^th August 2002 in the English Lake District. This meeting, which was organized by Bob Burgoyne and Viki Allan under the auspices of the Biochemical Society, comprised a highly enjoyable mixture of well-presented talks with uncommonly good weather. Presentations covered a broad range of topics relating to the dynamics of protein transport along both the exocytic and endocytic pathways of eukaryotic cells.
