Zymohexase. A new way of detecting cancer in laboratory animals was reported by Drs. John A. Sibley and Albert L. Lehninger of the University of Chicago. They found that whenever an active tumor is present, the blood contains an abnormally large amount of an enzyme called zymohexase; when the tumor is removed, the amount of zymohexase returns to normal. Some day, they thought, the test might be valuable for detecting human cancer...
...Alamine. A radioactive isotope of carbon has carried three doctors from Boston's Huntington Hospital a little farther toward showing just how cancer cells and normal cells differ. Drs. P. C. Zamecnik, I. D. Frantz Jr., and R. B. Loftfield tagged a protein-building amino acid called l-alzmine with the isotope, watched what cancer tissue and normal liver tissue did with it in test tubes. They found that cancerous livers absorbed the amino acid much faster than normal livers. Eventually, their experiments might help explain why cancer cells grow disastrously faster than normal cells...
