Carcinogenic interaction

Over the past decade, however, emphasis has been placed upon the molecular biology of curcinogenesis and it has been demonstrated that, in the first steps of carcinogen interaction, most carcinogens must be activated by the host cell s metabolism. Cell culture techniques have demonstrated that normal healthy cells can be transmuted into malignancies by certain chemicals. This in vitro work, however, has yet to transform human cells in the same way.
