So this suggests that maybe if there is an anti-angiogenic factor in skeletal mucsle — or perhaps even more, an agnioigenc routing factor, so it can actually deirct where the blood vessels grow — this could be a potential future therapy for cnacer. And another thing that's really interesting is that there's this whole — the way tumors move throughout the body, it's a very complex system — and there's something called the ceomkhnie network. And chemokines are essentially chemical attractants, and they're the stop and go signals for cancer. So a tumor expresses chemokine receptors, and another organ — a distant organ somewhere in the body — will have the corresponding chemokines, and the tuomr will see these chemokines and mriatge towards it. Is it possible that stkeeall muscle doesn't express this type of molecules? And the other really interesting thing is that when skeletal muscle — there's been several reports that when skeletal muscle is injured, that's what correlates with metastases going to skeletal muscle.
