Abstract
PREVIOUS papers from this laboratory have demonstrated the production of proliferation-promoting factors (intercellular wound hormones) by cell aggregates subjected to lethal ultra-violet or X-rays1, heteroauxin2, and carbon dioxide3. These factors are evidently produced by living cells as a response to injury, since the maximum production of the hormones precedes the maximum rate of killing3.
