00:00and it's a molecule or a protein that generates force and helps cancer cells move but now we have
00:08seen with our new study that also survive and cancer cells can hijack all this molecular
00:14machinery to help them survive in stressful conditions to move through tissues to spread
00:21around the body but also sometimes even to resist current therapies current standard of care so
00:27those are kind of like the most aggressive cancer cells the ones that you know manage to spread
00:33around the body and survive current treatments so when treatments don't work cells that have high rock
00:39you know are the very dangerous ones so now we have found a way of identifying which patients rely on
00:47this molecule to do this and now the inhibitors of rock kinase rock inhibitors that are currently
00:54being used for the treatment of glaucoma for example amongst other diseases so now we can
00:59treat those cells kill those cells eliminate those very dangerous cells with rock inhibitors
