1 It was initially thought that the author is a distant relative of Paul Ehrlich, the German chemist, immunologist, and Nobel Prize laureate whose research with aniline dyes lead to the polychrome stains for blood and marrow cells and of Alexander A. Maximow, the eminent Russian embryologist and histologist, who provided the first evidence for an hematopoietic stem cell as the source of blood cells. The latter disclosure was made in a lecture delivered to the Hematologic Society of Berlin in 1909. Careful editorial inquiry uncovered that Ehrlich Maximow is the pseudonym of Marshall A. Lichtman, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of Rochester Medical Center.(Ehrlich Maximow1) |
