P.esearch on the problem of cellular and noncellular forms oP living matter
was continued at the Institute oP Experimental Biology, Academy of Medical
Sciences USSR under the direction of 0. P. Lepeshinskaya.
Investigations conducted by M. A. Vorontsova and V. N. Zamtarayev have shown
that by means of accustoming the organism to minor wounds, for instance to minor

Of great interest are data which indicate that the?"trace" left by supple-
mentary wounds in the organism afflicted by a tumor process may be removed by
the application of caffeine. A n ber of investigations carried out by USSR
biologists (I. A. Utkia and other have shown that proliferation of cells
? (~YtO6i8) proceeds in the organism on the basis of unconditional and conditional
reflexes, It has been established in experimental work that this law is valid
not only for normal cells but also Por tumor cells. These investigations prove
theoretically ttat it is possible to influence proliferation processes from the
practical [therapeutic] standpoint.
