China has always taken face engineering seriously, and buildings built for foreigners are often artifacts that can survive earthquakes. Therefore www.biquge.info Henry handed over the construction of the hospital building to a Chinese construction company.

For Henry, it was imperative to speed up the recruitment and training of medical personnel.

Most of China's hospitals are white-skinned, blonde-haired foreigners, which is not too good. Nowadays, China is very developed, and there are actually many excellent nurses and doctors, but there is a lack of top doctors. However, the desire to train the best doctors is often related to the high-tech equipment of local hospitals. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. How can medical research be carried out without good equipment? Henry can create this condition.

Chinese have been very smart since ancient times, and Henry is fully able to use the hospital to train more talents for himself, and then send them to the gene umbrella company.

As there are more and more projects in the study of genetic umbrellas, there is an increasing urgency to find more talents. An illiterate person can only observe the sky from the bottom of a well, because in his eyes, the world is only so big, and the genetic umbrella is like a scientist who has learned five cars, and the more he explores the mysteries of the universe, the more he feels that he has only touched the tip of the iceberg of the mysteries of the universe, and even the tip of the iceberg!

There is an animal on the earth called "lighthouse jellyfish", which will return to the polyp state after sexual maturity, and can repeat this process indefinitely, so as to have the ability to rejuvenate, that is, immortality! At present, the gene umbrella company has a special team to study it, hoping to crack the secret of immortality, and then apply it to humans!

Scientists have deduced that the secret of the immortality of the lighthouse jellyfish is completed in the process of cell transdifferentiation. In this process, the type and function of all cells of the lighthouse jellyfish are changed, and this functional transformation is accompanied by the regeneration of organs. Perhaps it is this process of cell change that creates the immortal body of the "lighthouse jellyfish"!

Although we have a general understanding of the secret of the immortality of the "lighthouse jellyfish", it is really difficult to understand why all its cells undergo reverse differentiation. As we all know, ordinary cells do not have the ability to replicate and differentiate. Only "stem cells" have the ability to replicate and differentiate. But how did the lighthouse jellyfish do it? Perhaps it was a certain gene of the lighthouse jellyfish that played a key role in making the lighthouse jellyfish have such amazing abilities! As for what genes are, it is still being studied!

Here, I can't help but boldly put forward a hypothesis, if human beings also have this gene? Then, can it also be like a "lighthouse jellyfish", rejuvenating and immortal? !

Everything is full of doubts!

Although the gene umbrella has encountered problems in the study of "lighthouse jellyfish", it has made great achievements in the research of "stem cells"!

Here, again, we have to ask, what are stem cells?

Stem cells, also known as origin cells, are a kind of under-differentiated, immature cells, with the potential function of regenerating various tissues and organs and the human body, called "universal cells" in the medical community!! and stem cells can be divided into totipotent stem cells, pluripotent stem cells and unipotent stem cells according to their developmental potential. Among them, totipotent stem cells, also known as "embryonic stem cells", can be transformed into any cell in the human body, in other words, can directly clone a complete person!

Every human body has stem cells, but totipotent stem cells or "embryonic stem cells" can only exist when forming embryos, and embryos are small lives that live in the mother's womb.

Stem cells can proliferate and differentiate to form other cells, so scientists can solve many medical problems by directional induction to differentiate them into various possible cells and repair broken organs. However, in the eyes of the gene umbrella company, this technology is the entry level, and most countries in the world already have this ability, and even clone many animals.

And what is the gene umbrella company to study?

Cell reversal technology!!

Although the gene umbrella does not know how the lighthouse jellyfish makes all ordinary cells transform into stem cells, it undoubtedly points out the direction of research for the gene umbrella, that is, ordinary cells can be reversed into stem cells!!

The root cause of human aging is essentially the senescence and reduction of cells, and the senescence and reduction of cells are caused precisely by the aging of stem cells. Stem cells cannot proliferate and differentiate after aging, so ordinary cells cannot be renewed normally, just like the extinction of rare animals, which eventually causes human aging. Through this technology, the gene umbrella can make ordinary cells in the human body "transform" into new stem cells, and then through proliferation and differentiation, so that the body's tissues and organs will remain young forever!

As far as Henry knows, the Japanese "almost" touched the tip of the iceberg of this technology in 2006. They used retroviral vectors to transfer four genes into adult cells and recompile adult fibroblasts from mice, and as a result, these ordinary adult fibroblasts exhibited characteristics similar to embryonic stem cells, which can achieve the function of proliferation and differentiation. As soon as the results of this study were released, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the scientific and technological circles, and was subsequently selected by the American magazine "Science" as one of the "Top 10 Scientific Breakthroughs of the Year"! At first, some people doubted the study and found it unbelievable. However, when researchers in other countries took the same approach and achieved the same results, the controversy immediately subsided.

Under Henry's direction, the study was completed before 2000, but it was not made public. At that time, the researchers of the gene umbrella saw that ordinary cells could really be turned into stem cells, like chicken blood, and they were very excited, and for a while, their morale was greatly boosted, thus accelerating the research of "cell reversal technology"!

Just this evening, as the sun was setting, Gene Umbrella suddenly called Henry.

"Mr. Williams, we have successfully synthesized skin stem cells from human skin using 'cell reversal technology'!!"

The voice on the other side of the phone was very excited, this is the first time that the gene umbrella has transformed ordinary cells into stem cells in more than two years!

Henry was still very calm, and said slowly: "Very good, keep up the good work!" However, you must also know that we have only reversed a human stem cell, and there is still a long way to go in the future!"

"Yes!

"En......"

Henry nodded, and suddenly thought that stem cells have become popular in the beauty industry and have become an anti-aging artifact, the favorite of the rich!

A professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong gave an interesting data about stem cells: a skin stem cell can differentiate into 100 generations, producing a total of 15 billion skin cells, which is enough to cover the whole body skin of 10 adults. This is enough to prove how important stem cells are for skin renewal and repair.

Henry couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration, opened a beauty salon, and used stem cell treatment, and he would definitely make a lot of money!
