...cancer cells of the type called Ehrlich sarcoma are ground up, made into an emulsion and injected beneath the skins of mice, the animals invariably die. Drs. Alexandre Besredka and Ludwik Gross of the Pasteur Institute in Paris made small, weak doses of finely minced sarcoma tissue, injected them not beneath but in the skins of mice. In most of the animals metastases (cancer colonizations elsewhere in the body) took place and death followed. But in 10% the skin tumor caused by the injection dried up and disappeared and thereafter the mice were immune to that type of sarcoma...
...hardening of arteries; Rudolph John Anderson, biochemist; Dr. Ross Granville Harrison, biologist who began the artificial cultivation of living tissues, for which the Rockefeller Institute's Alexis Carrel is more famed; Rockefeller Institute's Francis Peyton Rous. whose discovery of a type of cancer (Rous's sarcoma) which can be transplanted from one chicken to another gave students of cancer a powerful new instrument of research...
...Chinese education, Layman MacManus helped found the Catholic University of Peiping. All this smoothed the way for a request he made of the Holy See five years ago. Of the six MacManus sons and daughters, two had died within two years: Hugo, 20, of pneumonia and Hubert, 24, of sarcoma. Mr. & Mrs. MacManus determined to build a church on their estate at Bloomfield Hills, bury their offspring therein...
...street equal to that of a minor volunteer worker at the Institute named Charles Augustus Lindbergh. Familiar only to the small scientific circle is the mighty attack of Dr. Florence Sabin upon the germ of tuberculosis. Every cancer specialist is aware of Rous's sarcoma but outside the Institute's walls Dr. Peyton Rous is a personal unknown. It took a Nobel Prize in 1930 and the recent use of his blood analysis in bastardy cases to put Dr. Karl Landsteiner into the lay Press. Long ago Dr. Alexis Carrel had some small renown...
Even further removed from possible practical application were the researches which famed Dr. Frederick Grant Banting, co-discoverer of insulin, reported to the American Association for Cancer Research in Toronto last week. First, by proxy, he upset the theory that tissue grafts of Rous sarcoma, a transplantable animal tumor, continue to grow and spread in their new host. Instead, the transplanted tumor, he had found, disintegrates, starts a new tumor growing around it. Later Dr. Banting himself stood up to tell the cancermen a story of his four fruitless years of trying to make chickens immune to Rous sarcoma...
