There Dr. Warburg has studied tumor cells, has found that cancerous cells can exist and multiply for a limited time altogether without oxidation (a condition which is also true of some normal cells and which therefore is not the explanation of cancer). He is 48, has been head of the biology department of the Institute for 21 years. He is the son of the late great Physicist Emil Warburg...

They filtered some tumor material. Such filtrate generally creates a new tumor in a definite period of time. When Dr. Murphy washed the filtrate in several changes of water he found that the residue was much more active than the original filtrate. Plainly the wash water had carried away some cancer dampener, which might be used to cure the disease. What its exact nature is, or the mechanism...
