Abstract
THE Sixth International Congress of Experimental Cytology met in Stockholm during July 10–17; some four hundred members from twenty-three countries attended. It was of outstanding interest in several ways. But for the War, this Sixth Congress would have met in 1940 at Stockholm, so the international ties in this branch of science were here appropriately reformed. Secondly, the official scope of ‘experimental cytology’ has now been broadened. Under the late Prof. Rhoda Erdmann, research based on the tissue-culture technique had taken a central position in pre-war meetings. Now, with the shift of the centre of gravity towards sub-microscopical biology, topics at this Congress ranged in ascending orders of magnitude from that of the large molecule to the whole organ.
