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

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 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.

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

Muscle tissue consists of innumerable cells.

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.

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?

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.

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.

We then tease the tissue apart into its two individual cell components, muscle, and these bladder specialized cells.

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.

Muscle memory.

Northern Tissue.

Organism's tissue.

Tissue inflammation?

Things in life start out being general cell, and they become specialized you have tissue cells, you have muscle, brain cells.

Is there a reason for this? And a lot of the replies I got were that muscle is terminally differentiated tissue.

So, tissue design.

You see the skeletal structure of it.

The skeletal support comes from an interaction between a pressurized fluid and a surrounding wall of tissue that's held in tension and reinforced with fibrous proteins.

I pulled a muscle.

Not a muscle, lady.

This is all muscle.

Some part infarct, that's what they called myocardial infarction. Myocardial means the tissue of heart or the muscle of the heart that's dying.

Give Tom a tissue.

That's live human tissue.

M muscular tissue visible.

No,tissue won't help.

What I just described in a heart attack, people can have a heart attack. They will have some part of their muscle tissue die.

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

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.
