Cell Film. Dr. Alexis Carrel, famed surgeon, put a cinema camera against that part of a microscope to which he usually puts his eye. By adjusting the lens to take one exposure per minute he took a moving picture of the growth, subdivision and death of a living cell and of a cell taken from cancerous tissue. His cell-story, magnified from microns to feet, Dr. Carrel exhibited last week to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research...

...Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute provided a generally acceptable explanation and description of cancer cells. Those malignant cells, he has found, do not grow faster than normal cells. Nor do they have more growth energy. Nor are they necessarily diseased. They do, however, differ from normal cells in their physiological properties. Chief difference is the fact that they use nitrogen. The nitrogen they get from proteins or protein-split products. And of those the body has an unlimited store. That is why cancer cells can multiply (not grow in size) so rapidly...
Cancer. Connective tissue cells of connective tissue cancers in animals found by Alexis Carrel to be solely responsible for this type of malignant tumors. Killing tumor cells by X-rays or radium rays found by Charles Packard to depend upon the energy set free in the individual cell (which causes the cell's death); rather than upon the wave length of radiations. Small doses over a long period kill some types of cancer cells and do not hurt healthy cells. Ultraviolet rays increased the effect of cancer-causing, irritating substances...
Rejuvenation. A specific use for Dr. Carrel's growth index is to measure the effect (if any) of artificial rejuvenation. Said he: "We should admit that no great imagination has been used so far in the development of those [rejuvenation] treatments. t is assumed that by grafting glands rejuvenation can take place. But it is very interesting to observe that neither [Eugene] Steinach* or [Serge] Voronoff or any of the men who have been interested in rejuvenation have attempted to verify whether or not their method of treatment has brought about a real result. After all, what should be done...
