Migration00:53

Migration

8.9K
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

Cell Migration01:19

Cell Migration

6.6K
Cell migration is a process by which the cells move from one location to another, playing an essential role in embryological development, repair and regeneration, immune response, and metastasis. Cells migrate in response to chemical or mechanical signals generated by specific organs or tissues. The overall mechanism includes three steps - polarization, protrusion, and release. Polarization involves the formation of a distinct cell front and rear, which determines the direction of movement.

Cell Migration

Cell migration, the process by which cells move from one location to another, is essential for the proper development and viability of organisms throughout their life. When cells are not able to migrate properly to their ordained locations, various disorders may occur. For example, disruption in cell migration causes chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

Cancer Cell Migration through Invadopodia

3.3K
Invadosome is a broad category of cell surface structures with proteolytic activity that  degrades the extracellular matrix (ECM). Invadosomes are present in normal cell types, including macrophages, endothelial cells, and neurons, as well as tumor cells. Although the macrophage podosomes and tumor cell invadopodia are classified as invadosomes, they have different structures, molecular pathways, and functions. Podosomes are short structures that last for a few minutes. However,...

Chemotaxis and Direction of Cell Migration01:21

Chemotaxis and Direction of Cell Migration

4.7K
Cells can detect chemical cues in their environment and reorganize the cytoskeleton to migrate toward them or away from them. This directional migration, called chemotaxis, is essential during embryogenesis and development, immune response, tissue repair and regeneration, and reproduction. These chemical cues can either attract or repel the cell's movement. For example, axon development is determined by a combination of chemoattractants and chemorepellents that direct the growing axon...

Role of Myosin in Cell Migration01:18

Role of Myosin in Cell Migration

3.3K
Myosins are multimeric motor proteins involved in various cellular processes such as migration, adhesion, and proliferation. Myosin II is the most common type in animal cells, which binds and cross-links actin filaments.
Myosin II  is a hexamer comprising two heavy chains with globular heads and coiled-coil tails, two regulatory light chains, and two essential light chains. The ATPase sites on the myosin heads hydrolyze ATP, and the released phosphate generates the force for contraction....

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Migration Studies

Background:

  • Limited research exists on Latino migrant men's masculinity within the migration context.
  • Most studies are US-centric, neglecting transnational experiences and return migration.
  • Understanding the full migration journey is crucial for migrant men's experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine masculinity among return migrants in Mexico.
  • To understand how migration-related life events shape masculine identities.
  • To identify key moments and turning points in the migration process.

Main Methods:

  • Case study methodology.
  • Examined masculinity among return migrants in Petlalcingo, Mexico.
  • Utilized gender strain theory and transnational conceptual frameworks.

Main Results:

  • Findings reveal a gendered migration process.
  • Identified key variables relating migration events to masculinity.
  • Highlighted the influence of decision to migrate, journey, adjustment, acculturation, and return migration.

Conclusions:

  • Migration significantly shapes Latino men's masculinity.
  • Key migration phases offer insights into identity formation.
  • Results can inform larger binational studies on masculinity and migration.
