Two University of Oregon medi cal school men—Dr. Edwin E. Os good and Alfred N. Muscovite— said they developed the process by building a chemical "robot" lung, tcianey and circulation system. They reported that cells thus re produced outside the body lived, moved and were capable of destroy ing germs "many days” after the original cells were transplanted. Although emphasizing that their work was only “preliminary,” with Jet ailed results yet to be announc ed, the two experimenters asserted .hey had obtained “material • • * suitable for any" studies of the make up of the blood and the phy ical and chemical processes by which body tissues are built and maintained.
