Yellowstone ecosystem may lose key migrant
A mammal that embarks on the longest remaining overland migration in the continental United States could vanish from the ecosystem that includes Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, according to a study by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and National Park Service. view more (2006-07-11)
Guidance of Primordial Germ Cell Migration by the Chemokine SDF-1
Identification of the molecular cues governing cell migration is of major importance for the understanding of tissue and organ development and for therapy in cases of diseases resulting from aberrant cell movement. Primordial Germ Cell (PGC) migration is a useful model for studying directional cell movement. During embryonic development, PGCs have... view more... (2002-11-27)
AHRB Appoints New Initiative Director
Few issues are more relevant in our society that those relating to migration and its impact on identity and culture. The Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB) is therefore delighted to announce the appointment of a Director for its new strategic programme, Diasporas, Migration and Identities. view more (2004-11-12)
Compound reveals new link between signaling protein and cell migration
University of Illinois at Chicago researchers report that a protein that regulates key signaling pathways in cells also plays a role in controlling the active movement or migration of cells. view more (2005-09-26)

Is transforming growth factor-beta involved in intestinal wound healing?
Migration of colonic lamina propria fibroblasts (CLPF) plays an important role during the progression of fibrosis and fistulae in Crohn's disease. Transforming growth factor- beta (TGF- beta) is involved in the regulation of cell migration, cell differentiation, extracellular matrix deposition, and immune responses. view more (2009-03-31)
A genetic basis for schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a severely debilitating psychiatric disease that is thought to have its roots in the development of the nervous system; however, major breakthroughs linking its genetics to diagnosis, prognosis and treatment are still unrealized. view more (2009-07-22)
Prehistoric origins of stomach ulcers uncovered
An international team of scientists has discovered that the ubiquitous bacteria that causes most painful stomach ulcers has been present in the human digestive system since modern man migrated from Africa over 60,000 years ago. view more (2007-02-08)
Chinese Immigrants Generate Wealth and are Seldom Victims
EMBARGOED UNTIL 00.01 HRS FRIDAY 25 OCTOBER 2002 Most Chinese immigrants come to Europe to work hard for their families - and generate both employment and wealth, according to research at the University of Oxford. And they are not always victims of unscrupulous smugglers like those found dead in tragic circumstances at Dover in July 2000, nor... view more... (2002-10-21)

In the migratory marathon, parasitized monarchs drop out early
A little-studied outcome of animal migration is whether these long journeys can limit the spread of parasites by weeding out diseased animals. Monarch butterflies in eastern North America fly up to thousands of kilometers from Canada to Central Mexico - one of the longest migrations of any insect species. view more (2005-02-08)
Transmission of tuberculosis is linked to historical patterns of human migration
In this study, a team of scientists led by Dr. Igor Mokrousov from St. Petersburg's Pasteur Institute demonstrated that the evolutionary history of the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) has been shaped by human migration patterns. view more (2005-09-27)
Study of polar dinosaur migration questions whether dinosaurs were truly the first great migrators
Contrary to popular belief, polar dinosaurs may not have traveled nearly as far as originally thought when making their bi-annual migration. view more (2008-10-22)
Marijuana-like compounds suppress the immune response
A group of Japanese scientists has discovered that cannabinoids can cause some white blood cells to lose their ability to migrate to the sites of infection and inflammation. view more (2006-04-27)
New discovery about the formation of new brain cells
The generation of new nerve cells in the brain is regulated by a peptide known as C3a, which directly affects the stem cells' maturation into nerve cells and is also important for the migration of new nerve cells through the brain tissue, reveals new research from the Sahlgrenska Academy published in the journal Stem Cells. view more (2009-11-24)
