The directed movement of a keratinocyte, epidermal cells which synthesize keratin, from one site to another. The orderly movement of a cell that will reside in the hindbrain. The orderly movement of a muscle cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism. The migration of an epithelial cell along or through a wound gap to reestablish a continuous epithelium. The orderly movement of a glial cell, non-neuronal cells that provide support and nutrition, maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and participate in signal transmission in the nervous system. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another along a substrate such as the extracellular matrix; the migrating cell forms a protrusion that attaches to the substrate. The orderly movement of a presomitic mesoderm cell that contributes to somitogenic axis elongation. The directed, self-propelled movement of a cellular component without the involvement of an external agent such as a transporter or a pore. The movement of a leukocyte within or between different tissues and organs of the body. Self-propelled movement of a cell or organism from one location to another. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another that will contribute to the progression of the heart over time, from its initial formation, to the mature organ. Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another that will contribute to the differentiation of an endothelial cell that will form de novo blood vessels and tubes. The orderly movement of a chondrocyte from one site to another that contributes to the shaping of growth plate cartilage in an endochondral bone. The process of directed cell movement in the neural plate resulting in tissue elongation via intercalation of adjacent cells in an epithelial sheet at the midline, leading to narrowing and lengthening of the neural plate. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell migration. The orderly movement of a cell specialized to produce haploid gametes through the embryo from its site of production to the place where the gonads will form. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell migration. Dorsally-directed movement of a cell at the leading edge of the epithelium over the amnioserosa. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell migration. Cell migration that is accomplished by extension and retraction of a pseudopodium. The directed movement of a cell into the hypothalamus region of the forebrain. The coordinated movement of a mesenchymal proepicardial cell to the surface of the developing heart. The directed movement of an ovarian follicle cell that takes place during oogenesis. During egg chamber formation, follicle cells migrate to envelop the germ-line cysts and move in between cysts. At stage 10B, follicle cells migrate centripetally between the nurse cells and the oocyte, enclosing the anterior of the egg. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The directed movement of a hemocyte within the embryo. Hemocytes are blood cells associated with a hemocoel (the cavity containing most of the major organs of the arthropod body) which are involved in defense and clotting of hemolymph, but not involved in transport of oxygen. In Drosophila, embryonic hemocytes originate from the head mesoderm as a cluster of cells. The cluster splits into two and one group of cells crosses the amnioserosa. Both populations then spread toward the middle of the embryo and then disperse evenly throughout the embryo. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism or multicellular structure. The orderly movement of an endothelial cell into the extracellular matrix to form an endothelium. The directed movement of a motile cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis). Any process by which a cell is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location. Migration of a cell in a multicellular organism that, having changed its location, is required to induce normal properties in one or more cells at its new location. An example of this would be the distal tip cells of Caenorhabditis elegans. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another at least one of which is located in the forebrain. The characteristic movement of an immature neuron from germinal zones to specific positions where they will reside as they mature. The orderly movement of angioblasts, cells involved in blood vessel morphogenesis. The migration of a cluster of a relatively undifferentiated cell originating at specific cephalic placodes and depositing proneuromasts along a developing lateral line, from which the neuromasts will develop.
