NEW YORK. October 1—A clue to the reason why cancer cells increase so rapidly is seen in test tubes where rat cancers grow artificially at Johns Hopkins University. The trouble appears to lie in the central portion of the individual body “cells,” which produce all types of cancer, human as well as animal. The study of these cancers growing under glass is reported today in the American Journal of Cancer by Mar- garet Reed Lewis and Warren H Plewis who work jointly for the university |and the Carnegie Institution in Wash- ington. They observed that cancer cels differ | from healthy ones in several respects The malignant cells are larger. have a denser outer covering. a larger centra. area, and increased numbers of chrom- osomes, which are sausage-shaped bodies determining the individuality of malignancy of the cell Suspicion points to the enlarged cen- tral area as containing the secret of | the wild growth which produces cancer. | This area, the scientists report, scems to be the “dynamic center” of the progress by which a cell divides itsel in two.
