Preface Migration of stem cells is critical during early development and adult life for the organization of the embryonic body as well as tissue homeostasis and regeneration of organ function. During early development, the formation of functional organs depends on the migration of stem cells from the site of their specification toward the region where the corresponding organ develops. Similarly, the ontogeny of hematopoiesis is characterized by a temporal migration and thus spatial distribution of hematopoietic stem cells throughout embryogenesis until adulthood. During adult life, stem cells mostly migrate in response to tissue regeneration and thus are regarded as being central to regenerative medicine. Hematopoietic stem cells are the best characterized adult type of migrating stem cells. However, alth
