Menainv cells move from surrounding tissue and procede to the blood vessels. Nonmotile breast cell don’t have Menainv. These are also known as resident cells.

It was also found that Menainv cells are less responsive to newer forms of breast cancer treatments that inhibit epidermal growth factor receptors.
