A Study of the Influence of Chemical Carcinogenic Substances on the Regenerative Potency of the Newt, Triturus viridescens (raf.)
Abstract
Recently, mary research workers have devoted themselves to a study of the relationship between the process of regeneration and tumor formation. Regenerating tissues have been scrutinized, and the response of animals with a high degree of regenerative ability to substances known to induce tumors has been studied. Studies have been made (Ciaccio 1941, Tobin 1940 and 1942, Thornton 1943, Rannich 1949, Karczmar and Berg 1952, and Rubens 1956) to determine the effect of certain known chemical carcinogens on regenerative potency. At the present time there is disagreement on many points. Some have found that chemical carcinogenic agents have an inhibitory effect on regeneration. (Tobin 1940 and 1942, Rannick 1949 and Karczmar and Berg 1952). Others have contradicted this finding. (Ciaccio 1941, Peredelsky 1941, Schevtchenko 1941, and Prada 1950).
