"The nutritional properties of malignant cells."

In: Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society held at Philadelphia for Promoting Useful Knowledge, Vol. LXVIII, 1929. Philadelphia:: The American Philosophical Society, 1929., 1929. 245 x 173 mm. 8vo. Pages 129-132. [Entire volume: vii, 326, ix-xix pp.]. Dark green cloth, gilt spine. Blind-stamp of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory. Fine. FIRST EDITION. This paper discusses Carrel's new method of cultivating cells of warm-blooded animals outside the body. Carrel's work did not add appreciably to the understanding of cellular physiology, but his work with tissue culture has contributed greatly to scientific theory and practice. One outgrowth of his work is the growing of virus cultures in animal cells and the preparation of vaccines. In 1912 he received the Nobel prize for his surgical and cell-culture experiments. DSB, III, p. 91; Nobel, the man and his prizes, pp. 270-271. First Edition.
