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.

So these articles were saying, you know, Skeletal metastasis to skeletal muscle is very rare.

Some of my hypotheses are that when you first think about skeletal muscle, there's a lot of blood vessels going to skeletal muscle.

So, is it possible that the tumor cells are going to the skeletal muscle tissue, but once in contact inside the skeletal muscle tissue,

Hey, it seems like cancer doesn't really go to skeletal muscle.

Is it possible that skeletal muscle doesn't express this type of molecules?

Some articles even went as far as to say that skeletal muscle tissue is resistant to cancer, and furthermore, not only to cancer, but of metastases going to skeletal muscle.

And, furthermore, when skeletal muscle is injured, that's what causes chemokines these signals saying,

MyoD acts upon these tumor cells and causes them to become skeletal muscle cells?

I mean, there are so many possibilities for why tumors don't go to skeletal muscle.

And skeletal muscle constitutes 50 percent of our body, or over 50 percent of our body.

But then again, this fact that the metastases didn't go to skeletal muscle made that seem unlikely.

Meaning that there were these pinpoint tumors in skeletal muscle, but only .16 percent of actual metastases suggesting that maybe skeletal muscle is able to control the angiogenesis, is able to control the tumors recruiting these blood vessels.

Now, one thing that kind of ties the resistance of skeletal muscle to cancer to the cancer as a repair response gone out of control in the body is that skeletal muscle has a factor in it called MyoD.

Therefore, when a tumor comes into skeletal muscle tissue, it can't get a blood supply, and can't grow.

Well, maybe there's some obvious explanation why skeletal muscle doesn't get cancer at least not that I know of.

So the fact that not only did cancer not seem to originate in skeletal muscles, but cancer didn't seem to go to skeletal muscle there seemed to be something here.

And one article that really stood out to me when I was just reading about this, trying to figure out why cancer doesn't go to skeletal muscle, was that it had reported 16 percent of micro metastases to skeletal muscle upon autopsy.

Actually, you should pinch the skin up, so the needle doesn't hit the muscle mass.

But it struck me that I'd never heard of cancer of the heart, or cancer of any skeletal muscle for that matter.

At first the first thing I did was I emailed some professors who specialized in skeletal muscle physiology, and pretty much said,

Maybe tumor cells are being disguised as skeletal muscle cells, and this is why it seems as if it is so rare.

Delahunt, muscle.

This is all muscle.

You're seeing this muscle bio reactor actually exercising the muscle back and forth.

less mass than all mass in stars.

So this compound, MyoD, has been tested on a lot of different cell types and been shown to actually convert this variety of cell types into skeletal muscle cells.

Each muscle shows perfect teamwork.
