Only the Jak-STAT pathway has been found to induce migratory cells.

Migratory cells use this plug as a matrix to crawl across, and platelets adhere to it and secrete factors.

The border cells of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster are a cluster of 6-8 migratory cells found in the fly's ovary and derived from the follicular epithelium.

Angio-associated, migratory cell protein, also known as AAMP, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the AAMP gene.

It is not clear if the transport of nutrients between the polyps is made by the transfer of blobs of mucus or whether it depends on the active movement of migratory cells.

After a few days a population of adherent migratory cells is found surrounding the initial explant, which by various criteria, including contribution to melanocytes in vivo(13), appear to be a relatively pure population of neural crest cells.

This is probably important in order to limit the exchange of migratory cells between the developing embryo and the body of the mother, as some White blood cell are specialized to be able to insert themselves between adjacent epithelium cells.

Neural crest cells are a transient, multipotent, migratory cell population unique to vertebrates that gives rise to a diverse cell lineage including melanocytes, craniofacial cartilage and bone, smooth muscle, peripheral and enteric neurons and glia.

In addition to driving mesenchymal proliferation, PDGFs have been shown to direct the migration, differentiation and function of a variety of specialised mesenchymal and migratory cell types, both during development and in the adult animal.

RHAMM was originally discovered as a soluble protein that altered migratory cell behavior and bound to hyaluronan, RHAMM is less well studied than the main hyaluronan (HA) receptor, CD44.

Potentially, such characteristics of the layer may act as a remainder of early developmental life or pathway for cellular migration given similarity to a homologous layer in bovine SVZ shown to have migratory cells common only to higher order mammals.

Other transport vehicles are thought to include T cells, lymphocytes, and other migratory cells including monocytes where they succumb to infection by means of either phagocytosis of the parasite in the lamina propria or by infiltration by sporoplasms using their polar tube.
