Chapter 276: Longevity can be expected

"My plan is to not make different pluripotent stem cells for tissues and organs, rather than using fully functional stem cells. ”

The difference between these two types of stem cells is simply that fully functional stem cells can differentiate into blood, brain, bone marrow, limbs, organs and other human tissues and organs, while pluripotent stem cells can only differentiate into cells of specific tissues.

Normally, fully functional stem cells are obviously a better choice, but there is not much research on them in the world, so Jiang Yuan cannot find a suitable evolutionary target.

Pluripotent stem cells are different, and there have been many research results.

For example, LAVIV (azfice-T) intradermal injection, which can improve the severity of nasolabial folds in middle-aged people, is a stem cell technology.

Another example is autologous chondrocytes (MACI).

These are autologous chondrocytes cultured on porcine collagen membranes that repair knee cartilage damage.

Many leading products have begun to enter the market, but the results are not ideal.

The reason for the unsatisfactory is very simple.

Instead of injecting cells into the body, the patient's body will automatically use these differentiated stem cells to repair tissues and organs.

Because genes don't send signals, most of the injected cells are absorbed by the body and wasted.

It's as unreliable as chopping a person's hand into meat sauce, pressing the meat sauce against the wound, and expecting the body to automatically restore the pile of minced meat to an arm.

Jiang Yuan's technique is different.

He has the ability to turn on the gene switch and command the patient's body to reorganize.

Jiang Yuan's current thinking is very clear, studying full-function stem cells from scratch is likely to guess the sinkhole, it is better to start evolving from the current world's research results, but it will be easier to produce results.

After the results are produced, on the one hand, we can give the world time to adapt to the human gene technology, and on the other hand, we can use the skills accumulated during this time to evolve several more basic research on full-function stem cells, and there may be unexpected breakthroughs.

When everyone heard Jiang Yuan's plan, they all had a lot of doubts.

At present, stem cell technology is almost synonymous with scams by unscrupulous merchants.

The host smiled bitterly:

"Can stem cell technology really regenerate severed limbs? To be honest, stem cells are said to be amazing, which sounds really unsettling. ”

Liu Zhirang also looked at Jiang Yuan with malicious intentions, seeing how he explained this problem.

Jiang Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile:

"I understand. Let's put it this way, with the current technology, it is completely impossible to regenerate severed limbs, and the legendary longevity and curing all diseases are even more nonsense. For example, for viral diseases, stem cell therapy is basically impossible to play a role. And cancer and the like can't be treated. For example, this Mr. Liu Zhirang, if he has stomach cancer......"

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan pointed at Liu Zhirang as he spoke.

Gastric cancer?

Liu Zhirang couldn't help covering his stomach, and quickly reacted and said angrily:

"I don't have stomach cancer!"

Jiang Yuan said with a smile:

"It's just a hypothesis, with the current technology, it can only be surgically removed, so Mr. Liu Zhirang was pulled to the operating table and cut off 3/4 of the stomach ......"

Liu Zhirang's face turned pale, and he inexplicably felt a faint pain in his stomach, and couldn't help rubbing it twice.

That's not right!

Lao Tzu didn't cut his stomach again!

Jiang Yuan continued:

It's a pity that the cancer cells have spread, so Mr. Liu Zhirang finally died. In this case, stem cell technology is not very useful. ”

Liu Zhi made the whole person feel bad.

What does it mean to be unable to escape death!

You're too shady!

There were a few suppressed laughter faintly in the venue, and everyone finally had an understanding of Jiang Yuan's retribution.

Jiang Yuan said a few words and threw Liu Zhirang aside, saying:

"However, stem cell technology still has certain results. It has now been confirmed that stem cell therapy for certain types of diabetes has indeed made a breakthrough and that a large number of patients have already benefited, and the promise of this treatment is very promising and gives hope to patients. ”

"Therefore, stem cell technology is just a new type of normal medical technology. It is not right to exaggerate or depreciate too much. As for the market's over-hyped stem cells, this phenomenon is not the first time it has happened, and when penicillin was first developed, it was also touted by businessmen as a panacea. ”

"It is precisely because the current technology cannot complete the regeneration of amputated limbs, and the stem cell technology is so promising, that I decided to spend a month on it, which should solve most of the problems. ”

After Jiang Yuan's explanation, everyone in the venue had a score in their hearts.

As for whether Jiang Yuan overestimated the difficulty of this technology?

No matter how many doubts they have in their hearts, they don't dare to question them in person.

The other party's reputation in research is too scary, unless Liu Zhi makes this kind of conflict of interest, most people dare not make a move to use their mantis arms as a car.

Failure not to mention, as long as Jiang Yuan succeeds, the participants who voted in favor will get corresponding benefits.

So why block it?

It's better to lie down honestly and wait to shout 666.

Besides, can it be stopped?

Even if they rejected Jiang Yuan's project, the military has publicly declared its support.

Even if the military is forced to support it under official pressure, won't Jiang Yuan develop it himself?

The other party is the richest man in the world, and there is no shortage of technology, resources, manpower, and wealth, but he is not a hard-pressed scientific researcher who only has technology.

Once Jiang Yuan succeeds, it will be difficult for the official to get the benefits, in case the accounts are settled after the autumn, can they still have good fruits to eat?

Jiang Yuan saw that everyone had no objections, so he continued:

"Finally, the technology to accelerate the growth of local tissues and organs. For example, when it comes to regenerating key organs such as the heart, patients should not use the life-sustaining system for too long, and the new heart must grow quickly. Of course, the urgency of this technique is not high for the two sub-goals of the first phase - skin regeneration and cartilage regeneration......"

Ten minutes later, Jiang Yuan finished his expression and finally concluded:

"Most of the scientific research is developed step by step, with a series of simple regeneration technologies such as skin regeneration and cartilage regeneration, we can touch the technology of regenerating complex organs such as arms, eyeballs, and hearts, and finally regenerate most of the body organs, so as to achieve the real purpose of prolonging life. I'm sure it won't be a long time!"

Scientific research is mostly developed step by step?

Everyone at the venue felt that Jiang Yuan's words were quite ironic.

Big brother, which of your research developed step by step?

However, the large carrot of 'longevity' that Jiang Yuan threw out at the end was cleverly grabbed by everyone.

They knew that as far as the last sentence was concerned, Jiang Yuan's project was already eight or nine years old.

Maybe there will be strong official support.

Who can resist the temptation of longevity?

You must know that everything Jiang Yuan said will be written and submitted to the higher-level leaders to read, and it is estimated that there are many people who see it.

Once it spreads in the upper echelons, which person in power would dare to do such a thing as 'banning Jiang Yuan's longevity research'?
