...comparing the intracellular structure of normal liver cells to that of abnormal cells," Porter stated, "we hope to correlate the cell's rate of growth to its fine structure." Cancer cells, he pointed out, have an abnormally fast growth rate but fail to differentiate into specialized tissue...
Begun at Harvard's biological laboratories last September, Porter's current research uses a new $40,000 electron microscope. The shadow picture produced by introducing the cell specimen into a beam of electrons has a resolution of one fifty-millionth of an inch. Porter in 1945 made the first electron microscope photograph of a cell...
...devotes special attention to endoplasmic reticulum, the cellular structure involved in the synthesis of proteins which the cell transports. "The endoplasmic reticula of normal, differentiated cells," Porter said, "appear in patterns, which may be reflected in the forms of the cells. But in very malignant cells there is no pattern...
...lost, the odd, the strange, the difficult people-fragile spirits, who lack talons for the jungle. If Williams wins an audience's sympathy for these people, it may be because he speaks to a common condition: loneliness. All his characters yearn to break out of the cell of the lonely self, to touch and reach another person. "Hell is yourself," says Williams. "When you ignore other people completely, that is hell." The revelation towards which all of Williams' plays aspire is the moment of self-transcendence-"when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person...
...Miller's work suggests that the human thymus, in the first weeks of life, produces the basic cells that are then distributed to other white-cell factories, in lymph nodes and the spleen, where cells can be mass-produced at short notice to protect the body against invading microbes or foreign tissue. Once the master cells have been distributed, the thymus seems to have done its main job. In adult life, and even in later childhood, the gland can be removed with little apparent effect. Perhaps it eventually becomes use less, despite its vital early role...
