...distinctions of science, bore down on Dr. Pincus to find out how soon mammalian parthenogenesis could be applied to humans. The scientist dodged these embarrassing queries. A spokesman for him huffed: "Dr. Pincus' work will make possible certain manipulations and experiments which will aid in the study of cellular and biological growth. It is ridiculous to even think that such work could be done with human beings. This work will in no way affect the manner of living or customs...
...small amount of oxygen. To find out why, Drs. Davis and Schmitz probed an enormous rat tumor, discovered small pockets of poisonous cyanogen gas along its borders. They also confirmed the presence of cyanogen along the edges of a human tumor. Cyanogen gas, in minute amounts, is a normal cellular waste product, ordinarily passed out into the blood stream through porous cell walls...
...Medical School reported another schizophrenic link -this time to rheumatic infection of the brain. Autopsying 84 schizophrenic patients who died at Central State Hospital in Indianapolis, Dr. Bruetsch found that one in twelve had had rheumatic infections of the heart which also involved the brain, which showed inflammation and cellular deterioration...
...institute in the U. S., the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology is housed in a yellow brick, old-fashioned but scrupulously clean building in West Philadelphia. From the rumbling presses in its basement pours a stream of weighty periodicals: Journal of Morphology, Journal of Comparative Neurology, Journal of Cellular and Comparative Physiology, Journal of Nutrition, American Journal of Physical Anthropology, five others. These make dismal and mostly incomprehensible reading for laymen, but publication is the lifeblood of science and the specialists who read the Wistar publications understand and appreciate them...
...bound up with the dynamic wholeness of a living system. Electrical currents produce electrical fields and it is possible that a living organism possesses not only many small fields but a single large field. Moreover, it is possible that these fields are not mere by-products of cellular activity, but are to some extent determining and guiding factors in development and living processes. ... It is possible that individuals can be grouped into classes on the basis of their electrical properties. . . . Emotional states and mental processes also could be studied and, if our present findings are significant, the result may well...
