...Huppert began with the generally accepted fact that a normal cell contains chemically coded information-in ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-which determines how it reproduces itself. But, he suggested, ''a cell may acquire some wrong genetic information,' perhaps through the entry of a virus into the cell. The virus need not necessarily multiply within the cell; all that is necessary is for a piece of the virus' RNA or DNA to be substituted for part of the cell's normal nucleic acid...
...many, if not in most cases, this process will simply mean that the cell cannot reproduce because it cannot use the miscoded instructions. But in a few cases, said Dr. Huppert. it will incorporate the "foreign" information and reproduce abnormally, starting a cancer. The likelihood of this is increased when an other, non-cancer-causing virus happens to be present. Dr. Huppert said he and his colleagues have induced tumors in animals with the nucleic-acid "core'' of a virus found in a human tumor...
...Bella?" he inquired, his long nose sweeping the room. No one had, but De Gaulle went on to promise that the F.L.N. leader, kidnaped off a plane out of Rabat back in 1956 and now jailed in France, would get "considerably more liberal treatment" (presumably removal from a cell to comfortable house arrest) once the Lake Geneva talks opened, and his freedom, once a cease-fire is signed. Thereupon, De Gaulle took off on a tour of Southwest France to repeat the same themes to the cheering crowds that lined his route...
While Handlin spoke, Eichmann remained in a barred jail cell in Jerusalem, the third day of his trial for complicity in the annihilation of six million Jews during World...
Keith Porter, the noted electron microscopist from the Rockefeller Institute, will join the University Faculty next fall as professor of Biology, and give a course called "The Cell," which will use the resources of the natural sciences to penetrate to the molecular level, according to Wald...
