Migration of dendritic cells (DC) to the central nervous system (CNS) is a critical event in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). While up until now, research has mainly focused on the transmigration of DC through the blood-brain barrier, experimental evidence points out that also the choroid plexus and meningeal vessels represent important gateways to the CNS, especially in early disease stages. On the other hand, DC can exit the CNS to maintain immunological tolerance to patterns expressed in the CNS, a process that is perturbed in MS. Targeting trafficking of immune cells, including DC, to the CNS has demonstrated to be a successful strategy to treat MS. However, this approach is known to compromise protective immune surveillance of the brain. Unravelling the migratory paths of regulatory and pathogenic DC within the CNS may ultimately lead to the design of new therapeutic strategies able to selectively interfere with the recruitment of pathogenic DC to the CNS, while leaving host protective mechanisms intact.

Global marine fisheries production remains at a high level of approximately 80 million tonnes, partly due to the significant increase in cephalopod catches, which exhibit rapid adaptation to changing marine environments. Since the implementation of stock enhancement in 2008, Cuttlefish Sepiella japonica populations in coastal China have rebounded, and the establishment of closed areas and spawning ground reserves has effectively ensured the spawning and reproduction of cuttlefish. However, how to effectively protect the cuttlefish throughout its life cycle is still an unresolved issue, especially considering its migratory nature.

African swine fever (ASF) is a devastating infectious disease caused by the ASF virus (ASFV), a member of the family, which primarily affects species within the Suidae family, including several African wild boars, such as the warthog (). ASFV is characterized by its robust double-stranded DNA genome and is transmitted through various transmission routes, including direct contact with infected pigs or fomites, ingestion of contaminated swill, and ticks from the genus. Upon entry, the virus induces cell apoptosis, systemic hemorrhage, and high fever, typically leading to a near 100% fatality rate among affected pigs, thereby causing substantial losses to global swine populations.

Parasitic worms (ie, helminths) encompass a broad spectrum of organisms that lead to a myriad of acute, chronic, and multisystemic disease manifestations rooted in the life cycles of helminths, their migratory paths within humans, and the immunologic reactions they provoke. Although geographic distribution is traditionally given substantial consideration in the process of diagnosing these diseases, increased world travel and migration has resulted in cases all over the world. Because physicians in areas where these organisms are nonendemic are less likely to be familiar with them, the diseases are unexpected, resulting in difficulty and delay in diagnosis and appropriate treatment of patients.

Migratory moth species have a negative impact on agriculture in Korea, causing economic crop losses for farming households. The moths fly a considerable distance from their origins and settle in Korea, where they live for several generational cycles, feeding and laying eggs until the arrival of cold winter hinders their overwintering. Therefore, it is important to determine the timing and location of the moths' departure and arrival to prevent potential harm from invasive moths.
