... version 8.2.1 or chemotaxis and migration tool 1.01 (Ibidi integrated BioDiagnostics). All statistical tests were performed on independent experiments from the same pericyte cell line indicated as the sample size in the figure legends. The sample size ( n ), statistical test and P -values are indicated...

...Geng Qin; Cara Johnson; Yuan Zhang; Huixian Zhang; Jianping Yin; Glen Miller; Ralph G. Turingan; Eric Guisbert; Qiang Lin ABSTRACT Inshore-offshore migration occurs frequently in seahorse species, either because of prey opportunities or because they are driven by reproduction, and variations...

...Claudia Conte; Michelle A. Baird; Michael W. Davidson; Eric R. Griffis ABSTRACT Dynein is the sole processive minus-end-directed microtubule motor found in animals. It has roles in cell division, membrane trafficking, and cell migration. Together with dynactin, dynein regulates centrosomal...

... of either high-density collagen-I or high-density fibronectin ECMs results in reduced MT growth speeds, while CLASP1-dependent effects on MT dynamics promotes elevated numbers of short, branched protrusions that guide persistent and directed EC migration. * Authors for correspondence ( k.myers...

... protein. We also used defined conditions to systematically investigate the proliferation and migration responses of primary melanocytes on various extracellular matrix (ECM) substrates. Under our culture conditions, mouse melanocytes exhibit doubling times in the range of 10 days, and retain exponential...

... motility. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma Epstein-Barr virus Latent membrane protein 2 Calpain Integrin β4 Migration Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a prevalent head and neck cancer in Southern China and Southeast Asia ( Tao and Chan, 2007 ). Because of the anatomical location...

... we show that Netrins, well known as chemotropic guidance factors, provide a basal polarising cue during the Drosophila midgut MET. Both netrinA and netrinB are expressed in the visceral mesoderm, the substrate upon which midgut cells migrate, while their receptor frazzled (fra) is expressed in midgut...

...Carolina G. A. Moreira; Antonio Jacinto; Soren Prag Summary Cell migration is an important biological process which has been intensively studied in the past decades. Numerous techniques, mainly involving two-dimensional cell culture systems, have contributed to dissecting the essential mechanisms...

...Unisha Patel; Monn Monn Myat Summary The Drosophila embryonic salivary gland is formed by the invagination and collective migration of cells. Here, we report on a novel developmental role for receptor-type guanylyl cyclase at 76C, Gyc76C, in morphogenesis of the salivary gland. We demonstrate...

...William D. Andrews; Arianna Zito; Fani Memi; Gareth Jones; Nobuaki Tamamaki; John G. Parnavelas Summary En route to the neocortex, interneurons migrate around and avoid the developing striatum. This is due to the chemorepulsive cues of class 3 semaphorins (Sema3A and Sema3F) acting through...

...Paula Stanley; Sharon Tooze; Nancy Hogg Summary T lymphocytes make use of their major integrin LFA-1 to migrate on surfaces that express ICAM-1 such as blood vessels and inflamed tissue sites. How the adhesions are turned over in order to supply traction for this migration has not been extensively...

...Ana De Melo Bernardo; Kaylee Sprenkels; Gabriela Rodrigues; Toshiaki Noce; Susana M. Chuva De Sousa Lopes Summary During gastrulation, chicken primordial germ cells (PGCs) are present in an extraembryonic region of the embryo from where they migrate towards the genital ridges. This is also observed...
