Proof Of Cancer Cell Migration Presented
Researchers at the famed Oxford University have discovered and have visual proof of how breast cancer cells migrate to the brain and induces them to mutate, themselves turning into cancerous cells themselves. Metastasis has long been known but proof of such a cell mechanism, wherein the cells of a cancer cell breaks out of the original cell, infects other healthy cells then turning them into cancerous cells themselves. This mechanism is the main reason why cancer becomes fatal, able to spread from one organ with a unique set of cells to another, as if there was no difference to their structure. This is why stem cell research, the body’s primal super cell which has the ability to turn into all the different cells in the body is so great for the ability of cancer cells to migrate and adapt to infect the thousands or so types of cells, a seemingly similar mechanism.
