Migration

8.6K
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

6.2K
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.

Chemotaxis and Direction of Cell Migration01:21

Chemotaxis and Direction of Cell Migration

4.2K
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...

Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

6.8K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Cytoskeletal Coordination in Cell Migration01:32

Cytoskeletal Coordination in Cell Migration

5.3K
A migrating cell changes its shape during the cyclic events of attachment and detachment from the substratum and repositions the cell organelles correspondingly. These complex events are orchestrated by the dynamic cytoskeletal network comprising actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Cytoskeletal crosstalk — the direct and indirect communication between the different components — is crucial for this coordination. Direct communication involves various linker...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Political Science
  • Demography

Background:

  • Existing migration policy databases have limited geographical and historical scope.
  • Research on migration policy effectiveness is hampered by a lack of comprehensive empirical data.
  • A 'receiving country bias' often overlooks emigration policies in migration studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the DEMIG POLICY database, a novel resource for tracking global migration policy changes.
  • To conceptualize and operationalize the measurement of migration policy content and changes.
  • To provide a foundation for improved analysis of migration policy evolution and impact.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the DEMIG POLICY database, covering approximately 6,000 policy changes in 45 countries (1945-2014).
  • Conceptualization of 'migration policy change' and creation of a coding system for policy content, restrictiveness, and magnitude.
  • Inclusion of emigration policies to address the 'receiving country bias' prevalent in migration research.

Main Results:

  • The DEMIG POLICY database offers the most extensive geographical and historical coverage of migration policies to date.
  • The methodology allows for detailed tracking of policy content, restrictiveness shifts, and the scale of policy modifications.
  • The database includes data on both immigration and emigration policies, providing a more holistic view.

Conclusions:

  • DEMIG POLICY significantly advances the empirical evidence base for migration policy research.
  • The database and its methodology offer guidelines for future efforts in measuring and analyzing migration policies.
  • Enhanced understanding of migration policy nature, evolution, and effectiveness is facilitated by this resource.
