Chapter 52 Academic Seminars

Tokyo Prince Hotel, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo.

When Lin Xiuyi uncharacteristically walked into the lobby of the hotel with a pair of glasses, he raised his eyes and saw the sign standing at the door.

STAR Cell Retinal Retinal Technology Seminar!

Just as Lin Xiu nodded to check the specific location of the venue, other guests in the hall walked in one after another, and most of them seemed to be talking about topics related to retinal regeneration.

"It seems that this is it, I didn't expect the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Imperial Capital University to announce this technology so soon. ”

"Yes, that's an exciting technology! When I think about the future when human organs can be mass-produced in the laboratory, I think that maybe one day human beings will be able to live forever. ”

"But isn't there a breakthrough in the treatment of eye diseases now?"

"Well, having said that, the truth is the same, since STAR cells can differentiate into retinal tissue, then ...... It is inevitable that it will be able to differentiate into cells such as myocardial tissue, pancreatic tissue, and even complete organs!

……

Lin Xiuyi silently followed the crowd and walked towards the location of the venue, along the way, most of the participants were in such an optimistic attitude, but Lin Xiuyi could only do a little bit about the topics they were discussing.

"What is called interlacing like a mountain, Lin Xiuyi now has a deep understanding!"

Since the last time his colleagues in the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Office took away all the relevant information about the case of Yoo Asari, Lin Xiuyi's investigation work had to be suspended. However, if there is only this level of obstacle, it seems that it cannot stop Lin Xiuyi's investigation. Just a few days ago, the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Imperial Park University, together with Sumitomo Pharmaceutical and Seongnam General Hospital, announced that the world's first regenerative retinal transplant will be performed. As soon as the news came out, STAR cells once again became the focus of media and public discussion.

In order to ensure the success of this surgery, Imperial Capital University and Sumitomo Pharmaceutical hired Eisaku Saito, one of Japan's leading eye surgeons, to be the chief surgeon of the surgery, and the retina used for transplantation was an artificial organ grown entirely from SATR cells in a laboratory environment. The significance of this surgery is that human beings can finally use the technology of regenerative medicine to apply artificially cultivated tissues to the field of clinical medicine. If the operation is successful, it will open a whole new door to modern medicine.

"I'm sorry, please show your invitation card before entering the venue, and please wait for a while at the next venue, and after the workshop is over, Professor Calais will personally explain the situation of STAR cell research. ”

Just as Lin Xiuyi was about to follow the flow of people to the door of the venue, several uniformed staff members were checking the invitations of the guests and guiding the guests to the corresponding seats. This made Lin Xiuyi a little worried, you know, he came uninvited!

Seeing that several reporters who tried to blend in were politely blocked out, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but slow down his pace a little, and then began to turn his brain, thinking about ways to blend in for a while.

"Please give way, excuse me, please give way!"

Lin Xiu, who was originally quietly waiting to enter the venue, had an idea, casually took out a few pieces of paper from his briefcase and folded them in half, and then suddenly dodged in the crowd and walked forward.

"Excuse me, this guest, may I ask ...... your invitation?"

When Lin Xiuyi came to the door, he was unexpectedly blocked by the staff at the scene.

"Ah, I'm sorry! I'm a subordinate of Ms. Tokunaga of Sumitomo Pharmaceutical. Ms. Tokunaga had forgotten important documents in the car just now, and I had to send them to her quickly. ”

"Eh, are you a member of Sumitomo Pharmaceutical?"

"Hey!"

"But why didn't I see your badge?"

"Ah...... I'm really sorry, I must have fallen into the car. It's really unlucky, I'll be scolded if I get it again......"

Lin Xiuyi pretended to be annoyed, and then his eyes drifted towards the venue, and at this moment, he happened to see the bridge paw Shinichi passing by in front of the door, so he anxiously explained to the staff:

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the gentleman over there, he is the Bridge Claw Shinichi of the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Imperial Capital University!

"Ah, you know that gentleman!

Maybe Lin Xiuyi's anxious look really made the other party believe his words, and the staff in front of the door still let him in. So, after Lin Xiuyi refused the other party's guidance, he finally walked into the venue smoothly. As soon as he entered, he first looked around the room, and then sat down in a seat with no name tag, quietly waiting for the meeting to begin.

Twenty minutes passed, and seeing that the guests in the venue had almost arrived, an elegant lady in professional attire suddenly stood up, walked up to the podium step by step, and then bowed deeply to everyone present.

"Thank you to all the scholars and experts for attending today's workshop, and it is my pleasure to be able to chair today's meeting on behalf of Sumitomo Pharma and the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Imperial Memorial University......

"As many of you may have heard, as early as 10 years ago, when Professor Kalay was still studying for his Ph.D. at Harvard University, he accidentally discovered that when a virus is used as a vector for transcription factor combination, a cell with super differentiation ability will be produced, which is the STAR cell that we all know here. Since then, the research team led by Professor Hideki Kalai has been working on STAR cells......

"From the first time 10 years ago when STAR cells were born in the laboratory to the retinal tissue of mice, to today's retinal regeneration technology is being applied to the clinical field. The academic community has never stopped exploring STAR cells......"

……

Hearing Tokunaga Shiori mention the experiment ten years ago, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but muttered in surprise in a small voice:

"Could it be that the success that was achieved ten years ago was actually only experimented on mice?"

……

"Well, that's true, but...... That's quite an achievement!"

Just as Lin Xiu's words fell, a gentleman he didn't know next to him enthusiastically took his words and explained in a whisper.

"Ah...... I'm sorry I bothered you just now?"

As soon as Lin Xiu saw that the other party was looking at him, he nodded to the other party a little embarrassed and said.

"It's okay, I've heard about this experience at least hundreds of times, and I know Nakakuma-dori from Kagoshima University Faculty of Medicine, so where did you get your highest degree?"
