It was Levi-Montalcini who first suggested in 1951 that the signal might come from a growth-stimulating chemical in the cells targeted by the nerves. Her hunch was confirmed in 1952 when she observed that single nerve cells, taken from chick embryos and cultured with tissue from mouse tumors, sprouted nerve fibers that reached out "like the rays of the sun."
