Genetics and Etiology of Human Cancer

TL;DR: One of the highest national priorities that has been established for biomedical science in the United States is the control of cancer, which will probably necessitate a better understanding of the etiology, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology of cancer than is current.
Journal ArticleDOI

Individual Differences in Cancer Susceptibility

TL;DR: Because most environmental chemical carcinogens require enzymatic activation and a wide variation in carcinogen metabolism among people has been found, the ratio of metabolic activation to deactivation of carcinogens may ascertain, in part, a person's cancer risk.
BookDOI

Transfer of cell constituents into eukaryotic cells

TL;DR: This paper presents results of microinjection of Somatic Cells with Micropipettes and PEG-Erythrocyte Ghost Mediated Microinjection into Tissue Culture Cells, which successfully transferred DNA into Plant Cells with the Ti-Plasmid as a Vector and Expression of Messenger RNAs into Xenopus Laevis Oocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia in childhood. High incidence of clonal abnormalities and nonrandom changes

TL;DR: Cytogenetic studies have been done on a group of childhood patients over a period of 3 1/2 years in which Giemsa trypsin banding was applied to all specimens and no correlation could be found between the disease subgroup and the karyotypic aberration in patients with anomalies involving a common chromosome.

Genetic Tumors: Physiological Aspects of Tumor Formation in Interspecies Hybrids

TL;DR: The physiological and biochemical processes underlying tumorigenesis are reflected in the persistent activation of normally repressed biosynthetic systems, and enhanced activity of growth factors, enzymes, and cell metabolites in tumorous plants and tissues provides evidence for an increased biosynthesis capacity in neoplastic cells.
