Agarose migration test has shown that nuclear erythrocytes of Cyprinus carpio, Rana ridibunda, and Gallus domesticus are capable for spontaneous locomotions. The migration of red blood cells from frogs is associated with formations of long pseudopodia, whereas that from carps and hens--with short protrusions. It has been shown that migratory activity of nuclear erythrocytes and leukocytes from Rana ridibunda and Gallus domesticus under effect of temperature in vitro had seasonal nature, while that from Cyprinus carpio did not depend on the year season. In frogs and hens the circadian oscillations of blood cell migration area are coupled with the organism functional activity, whereas no such associations is present in carps.

In the ventricular-subventricular-zone (V-SVZ) of the postnatal mammalian brain, immature neurons (neuroblasts) are generated from neural stem cells throughout their lifetime. These V-SVZ-derived neuroblasts normally migrate to the olfactory bulb through the rostral migratory stream, differentiate into interneurons, and are integrated into the preexisting olfactory circuit. When the brain is injured, some neuroblasts initiate migration toward the lesion and attempt to repair the damaged neuronal circuitry, but their low regeneration efficiency prevents functional recovery.

The hormone and neurotransmitter serotonin regulates numerous physiological functions within the central nervous system and in the periphery upon binding to specific receptors. In the periphery, the serotonin receptor 7 (5-HT7R) is expressed on different immune cells including monocytes and macrophages. To investigate the impact of 5-HT7R-mediated signaling on macrophage properties, we used human THP-1 cells and differentiated them into pro-inflammatory M1- and anti-inflammatory M2-like macrophages.

Almost all high-grade gliomas, particularly glioblastoma (GBM), are highly migratory and aggressive. Migrasomes are organelles produced by highly migratory cells capable of mediating intercellular communication. Thus, GBM cells may produce migrasomes during migration.

Exosomes, which are known to transport diverse proteins from parent cells to recipient cells, consequently influence the biological activities of the recipient cells. Among those proteins, the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), plays a crucial role as it is implicated in cell adhesion and signaling processes. As exosomal EpCAM potentially affects the migration of recipient cells, direct visualization with high spatial resolution is essential to better understand this impact and the role of exosomal EpCAM in recipient cells.

This study focuses on the design, synthesis, and evaluation of benzimidazole derivatives for their anti-tumor activity against A549 and PC-3 cells. Initial screening using the MTT assay identified compound 5m as the most potent inhibitor of A549 cells with an IC of 7.19 μM, which was superior to the positive agents 5-Fluorouracil and Gefitinib.
