Empirical research on migration has historically been fraught with measurement challenges. Recently, the increasing ubiquity of digital trace data-from mobile phones, social media, and related sources of 'big data'-has created new opportunities for the quantitative analysis of migration. However, most existing work relies on relatively ad hoc methods for inferring migration. Here, we develop and validate a novel and general approach to detecting migration events in trace data. We benchmark this method using two different trace datasets: four years of mobile phone metadata from a single country's monopoly operator, and three years of geo-tagged Twitter data. The novel measures more accurately reflect human understanding and evaluation of migration events, and further provide more granular insight into migration spells and types than what are captured in standard survey instruments.

Cancer cells rely on invasive growth to survive in a hostile microenvironment; this growth is characterised by interconnected processes such as epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and migration. A master regulator of these events is the MET oncogene, which is overexpressed in the majority of cancers; however, since mutations in the MET oncogene are seen only rarely in cancers and are relatively infrequent, the mechanisms that cause this widespread MET overexpression remain obscure. Here, we show that the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of MET mRNA harbours two functional stress-responsive elements, conferring translational regulation by the integrated stress response (ISR), regulated by phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α) at serine 52.

An intracellular protozoan, the Apicomplexan parasite () infects nucleated cells, in which it triggers the formation of a specialized membrane-confined cytoplasmic vacuole, named the parasitophorous vacuole (PV). One of the most prominent events in the parasite's intracellular life is the congregation of the host cell mitochondria around the PV. However, the significance of this event has remained largely unsolved since the parasite itself possesses a functional mitochondrion, which is essential for its replication.

: Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations (VGAMs) represent the most common vascular malformations of the brain at the pediatric age. Comprehension of its angioarchitecture and clinical features may influence their treatment options and functional outcomes. The aim of this review is to give an update of the anatomical and technical aspects of the management of VGAMs after endovascular treatment.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal intracranial tumor in adults. Despite advances in the understanding of the molecular events responsible for disease development and progression, survival rates and mortality statistics for GBM patients have been virtually unchanged for decades and chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat GBM are limited. Arsenic derivatives, known as highly effective anticancer agents for leukemia therapy, has been demonstrated to exhibit cytocidal effects toward GBM cells by inducing cell death, cell cycle arrest, inhibition of migration/invasion, and angiogenesis.
