Etymology: Migration \Mi*gra"tion\, noun. [Latin expression migratio: compare to the French expression migration.]. (Websters 1913) |
| Domain | Definitions |
Avian | Regular, extensive, seasonal movements of birds between their breeding regions and their "wintering" regions (Welty 1975:463). Altitudinal migration--a vertical pattern of migration in which populations that breed in the alpine or subalpine zones in summer move to lower levels in winter (Welty 1975:475). Inverted altitudinal migration refers to organisms that move to higher levels in winter. Leap-frog migration--a pattern of migration taken when subspecies of the same species occupy two or more breeding areas (and also wintering areas) in the axis of migratory flight. Subspecies that breed progressively closer to one end of the axis winter progressively closer to the other end. An example is the Fox Sparrow, of which six subspecies inhabit the Pacific coast of North America. On its migration south, each subspecies flies over winter areas already occupied by the subspecies that breeds south of it (Welty 1975:472). Long-distance migration--a pattern of latitudinal migration used by a species that moves from arctic or temperate regions where it breeds to tropical or subtropical regions for the winter (Welty 1975:465). Loop migration--a circular pattern of migration such that the migration pathway in the fall differs from the migration pathway in the spring (Welty 1975:472).Short-distance migration--a pattern of latitudinal migration used by species that move within, rather than between, temperate or tropical zones (Welty 1975:465).

 | Six-step sequence of the death of a cancer cell. A cancer cell has migrated through the holes of a matrix coated membrane from the top to the bottom, simulating natural migration of a invading cancer cell between, and sometimes through, the vascular endothelium. Notice the spikes or pseudopodia that are characteristic of an invading cancer cell (1). A buffy coat containing red blood cells, lymphocytes and macrophages is added to the bottom of the membrane. A group of macrophages identify the cancer cell as foreign matter and start to stick to the cancer cell, which still has its spikes (2). Macrophages begin to fuse with, and inject its toxins into, the cancer cell. The cell starts rounding up and loses its spikes (3). As the macrophage cell becomes smooth (4). The cancer cell appears lumpy in the last stage before it dies. These lumps are actually the macrophages fused within the cancer cell (5). The cancer cell then loses its morphology, shrinks up and dies (6). Photo magnification: 1: x12,000; 2: x4,000; 3: x8,000; 4: x26,000; 5: x56,000; 6: x14,000.

Tgf-beta belongs to a superfamily of fetal inducers and regressors, which signal specific patterns of cellular differentiation. Tgf-beta, a cytokine with three different isoforms, regulates many cellular functions including cell proliferation, differentiation, adhesion and migration. Four novel receptors were characterized that also act as serine/threonine kinases and one of these appears to be a tgf-beta receptor. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |
