Birthdays. The famed morsel of live chicken heart, nurtured by Dr. Alexis Carrel in the laboratory of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, 20; Mrs. Jeanette Lauchheimer and Mrs. Henriette Dannenbaum, twins, 100; Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, sixth son of Charles Dickens, 83; John Van Buren Thayer, vice president of Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 80;* Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson, 79; David Lloyd George, 69; Carl Laemmle, 65; Felix Moritz Warburg...
...Alexis Carrel, who has kept a piece of chicken heart growing for 19 years, last week announced his verdict against rejuvenation. Biologists know a great deal now, he wrote, about how people grow old. They probably will learn what is necessary to retard the aging process. But it will be impossible, he declared, to reverse the action...
Life rushes into existence. The child lives much more in a year than do his parents. Dr. Carrel mentioned tests which give precise indications of an individual's biological (not chronological) age. If a spickle of flesh is put in a certain kind of culture medium, the spickle will grow for a time. The time and speed of growth indicate the "residual energy" of that bit of flesh. The younger the individual, the faster and longer the growth. A similar test is how long a wound takes to heal. Young people heal more quickly than old. Dr. Pierre...
Awarded. To Dr. Alexis Carrel, 57, 1912 Nobel Prize winner, member of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research: $1,000 and the highly esteemed diploma given biennially for cancer research by Dr. Sofie A. Nordhoff-Jung, 64, assistant in gynecology at Georgetown University. Dr. Carrel has devised methods of growing living cells in glass flasks where he can take micro-cinemas of their life. Results have been fundamental revelations on cell physiology, normal and malignant...
Heretofore, to examine cells microscopically it has been necessary to put a thin slice of tissue on a glass slide. The cells are either dead in the beginning, else die during the handling. Or it is possible to grow the cells in "tissue cultures," as Dr. Alexis Carrel has for years grown embryonic chicken tissue at the Rockefeller Institute. This in vitro method, however, fails to give an exactly truthful picture of all cell growth...
