    Malignant tumors spread throughout the body by releasing cancer cells into the blood.


    Their research results were published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, with the title of the paper " Temporal multi-omics identifies LRG1 as a vascular niche instructor of metastasis


    The researchers wrote: "Metastasis is the main cause of cancer-related death


    The researchers studied mice whose primary tumors were surgically removed


    Focusing on the lung, the researchers conducted an overall gene expression analysis of the metastatic niche


    The LRG1 gene was recently discovered to be a driver of emphysema, suggesting that deleting the gene from endothelial cells can prevent disease progression


    In the current study, the researchers found that LRG1 is not only produced by blood vessels at the metastatic site, but also produced by endothelial cells throughout the body and released into the circulation


    "On the one hand, we can now detect LRG1 produced by endothelial cells as a biomarker that indicates metastatic tumors
