A great number of experimental studies have now been performed with malignant cells. The mass of data generated presents a confusing and often apparently contradictory picture of the fundamental molecular biological defect which most scientists sense must be the cause of transformation of a normal cell into a malignant one. This paper proposes the hypothesis that RNA on the exterior of the cell membrane organizes...
