Collective cell migration: Implications for wound healing and cancer invasion.
During embryonic morphogenesis, wound repair and cancer invasion, cells often migrate collectively via tight cell-cell junctions, a process named collective migration. During such migration, cells move as coherent groups, large cell sheets, strands or tubes rather than individually. One unexpected finding regarding collective cell migration is that being a "multicellular structure" enables cells to better respond to chemical and physical cues, when compared with isolated cells. This is important because epithelial cells heal wounds via the migration of large sheets of cells with tight intercellular connections. Recent studies have gained some mechanistic insights that will benefit the clinical understanding of wound healing in general. In this review, we will briefly introduce the role of collective cell migration in wound healing, regeneration and cancer invasion and discuss its underlying mechanisms as well as implications for wound healing
Radio Polarization of BL Lacertae objects
In this paper, using the database of the university of Michigan Radio
Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) at three (4.8 GHz, 8 GHZ, and 14.5 GHz) radio
frequencies, we studied the polarization properties for 47 BL Lacertae
objects(38 radio selected BL Lacertae objects, 7 X-ray selected BL Lacertae,
and two inter-middle objects (Mkn 421 and Mkn 501), and found that (1) The
polarizations at higher radio frequency is higher than those at lower
frequency, (2) The variability of polarization at higher radio frequency is
higher than those at lower frequency, (3) The polarization is correlated with
the radio spectral index, and (4) The polarization is correlated with
core-dominance parameter for those objects with known core-dominance parameters
suggesting that the relativistic beaming could explain the polarization
characteristic of BL Lacs.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 1 table. PASJ, in pres
