Abstract
THE biological action of beryllium salts has lately aroused interest among embryologists1–3 and pathologists4. We have investigated the effect of beryllium (sulphate) acting for one to four days on tissue cultures of connective tissue and skeletal muscles (chick embryos). The final concentration varied from M/400 to M/106.
