Researchers trying to find what causes a normal cell to become cancerous reported a significant step last week. A high-powered team of six investigators from the National Institutes of Health and Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute announced that they had taken a virus that causes cancer in laboratory animals and had extracted the nucleic acid from the submicroscopic particles (only 1/100,000 mm. in diameter). This nucleic acid, when injected into test-tube growths of normal mouse cells, made them behave abnormally, as in cancer. The resulting cells, injected into hamsters, caused cancer every time. More strikingly...
