Chapter 077: Not Enough Samples

The next day, Atractylodes came to the "WH" institute to report.

"Jordan, can you tell me now, what did you mean by luck yesterday?"

After signing the contract and signing a confidentiality agreement, Bai Zhu asked eagerly.

"Haha, I thought you'd hold back. ”

Looking at Baizhu's impatient expression, Jordan Michelle laughed.

"Well, I'll admit, my curiosity did get a little strong, so ......"

Baizhu shrugged his shoulders and deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Did you really find the kind of plant I predicted that could break through the limit of Haflik?"

"That's not what you predicted, okay?"

Before Jordan Michelle could answer, Jack Byron on the side said with a slight sneer.

"Well, well, I'll admit it, I made a mistake, my mistake. ”

Baizhu's brows furrowed imperceptibly, not knowing where he had offended Jack Byron.

Jordan Michelle glared at Jack Byron and said, "Yes, as you said, we really found a plant that can make human cells break through the Hayflik limit!"

"Really?"

Baizhu was excited: "Where is it?"

"Come with me!"

Jordan Michelle didn't sell it anymore, and directly took Baizhu to a laboratory.

"Let me introduce you, this is Sam Rogers, a member of our institute, oh, she's also Jack's assistant. ”

Upon entering the lab, Jordan Michelle pointed to a blonde woman in a white lab coat.

"Hello Sam. ”

Baizhu can see at a glance that the woman in front of him is the heroine of the movie world.

"Hello, Dr. White, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Sam took off his gloves and shook hands with Atractylodes.

"How's it going?"

Jordan Michelle asked her.

"Not bad,"

Sam Rogers smiled at the corner of his mouth: "At present, there has been no abnormality in the cell experiment, and all cells are dividing normally. ”

Atractylodes didn't listen to Sam Rogers, his gaze was directed at the blood-red, bright flower in the incubator.

"How's it going, the blood orchid is pretty, isn't it?"

Noticing the strangeness of Baizhu, Jordan Mihil's voice also softened a lot.

"Blood Orchid?"

Atractylodes repeats the term.

"Yes, Blood Orchid!"

Jordan said with fanaticism: "This is the Blood Orchid, a magical plant that can allow humans to break the limits of Haflik. ”

"Is this the kind of flower?"

Atractylodes approached the incubator and carefully observed the blood orchid inside.

After looking at it for a while, Baizhu found that if he only observed it with the naked eye, he couldn't find any similarities and differences between this flower and the flowers in his own space.

"Can you tell me about this flower?"

Baizhu raised his head and asked, "Where did it come from, how is it growing, and, most importantly, how can you be sure that it has the ability to make cells break through the Havelik limit?"

"Of course, I'll tell you all this, don't worry. ”

Jordan Michelle smiled and patted Baizhu's shoulder, "Follow me." ”

Coming to an office, Jordan Michelle told Baizhu all the information about the blood orchid and the experiment report of the institute.

After listening to Jordan Michelle's description, Baizhu frowned and asked, "So, so far, the institute has only done cell experiments, and it is only a kind of epithelial cell?"

Each time a new drug is invented, it generally has to go through three stages before it finally reaches the patient.

The first stage is the cell experiment, which determines the basic role of the drug.

The second stage is animal experiments to determine that the drug still has an effect on living cells.

If animal experiments are optimistic, they will enter the third stage - the stage of human clinical trials.

Now, the blood orchid extract has only been tested in the first phase of cell experiments, and only the effect of the extract on epithelial cells has been tested.

Although according to Jordan Michelle, the experimental data is very good, and the epithelial cells have broken through the Hayflick limit and continue to divide under the action of blood orchid extract, but this almost isolated experimental data is not convincing.

"Alex, take it easy,"

Jordan Michelle smiled: "Of course we will not only do such a set of experiments, we will continue to do it in the future until we make a miracle medicine that can cure all human diseases!"

"But what about the samples, are there enough samples?"

Baizhu opened his mouth and asked, "I remember you said that there is only one blood orchid in our research institute. ”

"This ......"

Jordan Michelle hesitated: "I remember Jack saying it should be enough." ”

"No, judging by my experience of doing many drug experiments with Professor Connellyβ€”just one flower is not enough. ”

Baizhu shook his head.

Of course, he didn't know enough, after all, that's why they went to Borneo to find more blood orchids in the movie.

"I'm going to ask Jack!"

Jordan Michelle was also a little uncertain at this time, and got up and came to the laboratory again with Baizhu.

......

"What, Alex doesn't think there are enough samples?"

Hearing Jordan Michelle's words, Jack Byron's face was full of displeasure, and said: "Jordan, you have to believe me, I am now the person in charge of the Blood Orchid project, and he is just a newcomer who has just joined the institute for less than an hour, you actually believe his nonsense?!"

"No, Jack, it's not that I don't believe you, but you see it too. ”

Jordan Michelle pointed to the blood orchid in the incubator and said, "The blood orchid is withering, you tell me, before the blood orchid decays, can you guarantee the development of a real drug?"

"This ......"

Jack Byron hesitated slightly.

Seeing his expression, Jordan Michelle knew the answer, patted Jack Byron on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, it's not too late to find out the problem, according to Horton, the blood orchid still has two months to open, and we have time to pick more blood orchids back." ”

After speaking, he came to Baizhu's side and said, "Okay, you said it, I'm afraid our sample is really insufficient, it seems that we need to go to Borneo." ”

Baizhu shrugged, not surprised.

"Speaking of which, I really want to thank you, if it wasn't for your reminder, we wouldn't have thought about the sample at all...... In the end, it is likely that they will run out of raw materials, but they will not get a qualified medicine, and they will even miss the opening time of the blood orchid and wait for seven years to open the next one. ”

Jordan Michelle said with some trepidation.

"It's nothing, after all, I'm also a member of the institute, aren't I?"

Baizhu said with a smile.

"Haha, that's right, we're all one. ”

Jordan Michelle laughed.

This way.

Looking at Baizhu, who was talking happily with Jordan Michelle, the resentment in Jack Byron's eyes increased a little.

"Damn fellow!"

In his opinion, Baizhu did not point out the problem of insufficient samples for the sake of experimentation at all, and he only deliberately did so in order to show his ability in front of Jordan Michelle.

"What's wrong, Jack?"

Sam Rogers, who was on the side, noticed that Jack Byron was looking wrong, and asked.

"Nothing, Sam. ”

After taking a deep look at Baizhu's back, Jack Byron quickly collected his expression and pretended to be relaxed: "I was thinking, thanks to Alex, we may have to go to Borneo." ”

"Oh?"

The woman's intuition told her that Jack Byron must be hiding something from her, but she didn't think much about it, just echoed: "Actually, I expected that there might be such a day, after all, we only have this blood orchid...... Oh, primeval rainforest, damn it, do we have to go to that kind of hell place?"
