Immune system can not detect this molecule as toxic foreign object to eliminate. The metastasis of cancer is actually the spread of this molecule pathogen which brings the disease to other tissues of body and also transfers the disease through placenta to fetus.

How and why are fetuses not rejected since they are not a genetic match to the mother? The interview did not mention one of the possible great finds. If one could crack how the body makes these distiontions it could have major applications for transplant patients. Antirejections drugs, and the weaking of immunity system they cause, could be eliminated.
