Previously, the cross-sections taken were much thicker and darker and could not be magnified beyond 60 diameters. The new process, perfected by William Darrah, instructor in Botany, reveals the cellular construction of fossils with heretofore unequalled clearness...
...Wainwright Building, of Missouri granite, sandstone, brick and terra cotta, was the world's first skyscraper to be treated artistically for what it really was: a cellular arrangement of business offices. Working in an age of romantic eclecticism when Chicago boasted "an Italo-Byzantine-French-Venetian structure with Norman windows," when no other architect knew what to do with a tall façade except to break down its height with a series of small horizontal units, Louis Sullivan's Wainwright Building, in his own words, was and is "every inch a proud and soaring thing, rising...
Hitherto disregarded by the scientific world, a system of transmission of substances between the cells of animal bodies was reported on by G. H. Parker '87, professor of Zoology, before a meeting of the National Academy of Sciences yesterday at Ann Arbor, Michigan. An inter-cellular system of secretions known as "neurohumors," equal in importance to the blood and lymph circulation systems, was described by Professor Parker...
Insulin is a hormone secreted by the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Its function is to regulate the combustion and storage of sugar in the body. Failure of these small cellular masses causes blood sugar to increase abnormally. Withdrawal of sugar from the tissues results in hunger, weakness, loss of weight; tissue proteins and fats become converted to sugar to satisfy the body's needs, the patient is starved of carbohydrates. As a substitute for the body's insulin the patient is given injections of commercial insulin prepared from the pancreas of hogs or oxen...
...years a dispute raged between the University of Munich's Dr. Heinrich Wieland and Dr. Otto H. Warburg of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biology in Berlin, over the question whether cellular respiration requires iron. Dr. Warburg has maintained that it does; Dr. Wieland claimed it does not. Three years ago Dr. Wieland was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry-not for cellular research, but for study of cholic acid contained in the bile. Last week Dr. Warburg won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. The award was made for his studies of cell respiration which proved that...
