Transmigrant
Definition:
(a.) Migrating or passing from one place or state to another; passing from one residence to another.
(n.) One who transmigrates.
Example Sentences:
(1) After having analysed the most frequent etiological factors of mandibular canine impaction, the authors present their considerations concerning the probable pathogenetic mechanism of transmigration.
(2) The actual size of the population requiring institutional care, however, remains stable forcing individuals to transmigrate from one system to the other in order to obtain institutional support.
(3) In conclusion it is important, also from a therapeutical point of view, to keep under control, by periodical panoramic radiographs, all those clinical situations considered at risk due to their possible evolution in transmigration and which are characterized by: 1) an unerupted canine which can be palpated in a mesial position in the labial sulcus; 2) an enlarged symphyseal cross-sectional area; 3) an obstacle to normal eruption (cysts, odontomas, ecc.
(4) The initial decrease in resistance, maximal 5-13 min after initiation of transmigration, occurs despite inhibition of transmigration by an antibody to the common beta subunit of neutrophil beta 2 integrins, and is paralleled by an increase in transepithelial short-circuit current.
(5) Here we show that detailed time course studies of the transmigration-elicited decline in resistance has two components, one of which is unrelated to junctional permeability.
(6) Adhesion of lymphocytes to endothelial cells (EC) is the requisite first element in the multistep process of transmigration from blood across the postcapillary venules.
