Abstract
DURING the past decade, the writings of Gurwitsch and others have made biologists familiar with the conception of mitogenetic rays, that is, radiations emitted from one organic body which stimulate or increase the rate of mitosis in another. The latter biological object is called the detector, and the process of stimulation is known as a mitogenetic effect. Biologists are, however, not yet convinced of the nature or even of the existence of mitogenetic rays.
