Abstract
MEASUREMENTS of cellular communication, similar to those described by Jamakosmanović and Loewenstein in the preceding report, were performed on the surface epithelium of normal and cancerous human stomach. Pieces of stomach from surgical patients were isolated into Krebs solution, and electrical measurements were made on the surface epithelium away from the cut edges, 1.5 h after the blood supply had been interrupted.
