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...
Further to gain favor with the authorities, Prisoner Bell next day warned the gaol-warden of a plotted escape by Prisoner William ("Blackie") Lenhardt, murderer, and two accomplices. Searchers found the bars of Lenhardt's cell sawed, a loaded automatic pistol...
...matter) and a unicellular bit of protoplasm (lowest form of living matter) has been a gap which scientists have never been able to span. In a recent issue of Nature, British scientific weekly, Dr. F. Rinne, University of Freiburg, Germany, suggested similarities between a crystal and a simple sperm cell which may be the means of drawing living and nonliving matter together. He pointed out that a chief characteristic of liquid crystals* is the so-called "straight-stretch" type of molecule which composes it. Protein molecules of sperm cells are also of the "straight stretch" type. In addition to this...
...Danbury, Conn., Roland Hart awakened to find himself in a gaol cell. Making out what appeared to be a man hanging from a beam, Hart screamed, brought attendants who cut his drunken cellmate down. Then Roland Hart was told that an unknown had found him asleep in his auto on a grade crossing, had flagged a train just in time to save his life. Said Hart: "I'm glad I could give some one an even break...
Under the supervision of Dr. Stanley Cobb, Dr. F. Fremont Smith and Dr. Hans Zinsser of Harvard's Department of Neuropathology, Dr. Morrison killed five dogs suffering from running fits, made histological brain examination. He found the nuclei of the brain cells broken into bits, with chromatin scattered throughout the cell body. He discovered also great clusters of spider and mossy cells of the neuroglia around the small blood vessels in the white matter of the brain. In normal tissue, these supporting cells should be distributed in rows throughout the white matter. Cell peculiarities of the type found...
