Synopsis

Excerpt from A Contribution to the Study of Inflammation as Illustrated by Induced Keratitis

Stricker now appears as the latest and certainly the ablest defender of these views, though they have undergone essential modifications at his hands. He says that the cells of a tissue under the influence of inflammation, return to their former undifferentiated embryonic condition, be come amoeboid and in common with all young cells possess the power of unlimited division. This property holds good for all tissues equally; no matter whether muscle, gland or ganglion cell, they all can undergo this change and become con verted into pus cells. He holds also that when the cells return to the embryonic condition they again become capable of differentiation, and that in consequence of this capacity blood-vessels and even blood corpuscles are formed in an inflamed part in the same manner as in the embryo.
