Chapter 394: Cells

"Why is that?"

Su Yuan asked reflexively, then reacted, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Could it be that the culture medium that incubates solid-state energy also has the effect of promoting cell growth?"

"At first, I thought the same thing as you, but when I used other cells to culture, I didn't see crazy growth, on the contrary, those cells were like encountering natural enemies in the contaminated area, either immediately dying and autolyzing, or growing with extreme difficulty, and the whole growth process was inhibited. ”

"How so?"

"Then I thought about it, maybe your cells are special, something like poison to other animal cells, but to your cells it's like falling into a honeypot. Xia Lin looked at Su Yuan and said her speculation.

"Maybe it's because of the transformation......" Su Yuan wasn't very sure.

Charlene nodded and said, "Through several cultures, I found that not all cells in the blood sample can grow, and the stimulation of them by the culture medium is also selective......

"Through testing, I found that these cells and tissues are actually stem cells with strong vitality, and they are not ordinary stem cells, but totipotent stem cells!"

"Almighty stem cells?" Su Yuan exclaimed, her expression was as if she had seen a ghost, and her expression was terrifying.

Generally speaking, the main cells in human blood are red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, etc., and there are generally no hematopoietic stem cells, but with the development of science and technology, through some means. Stem cells from the bone marrow can be mobilized into the bloodstream, so hematopoietic stem cells can also be obtained by drawing directly from peripheral blood. This method can greatly reduce the burden on stem cell donors.

Stem cells are cells that have a variety of potentials that can differentiate into various types of functional cells. Their orientation is multidirectional, such as the most common hematopoietic stem cells, which can differentiate into red blood cells, white blood cells, etc. Stem cells are divided into several types, including fully functional stem cells, pluripotent stem cells, and unipotent stem cells.

This fully functional stem cell, as the name suggests, is a cell that can be differentiated into various cells throughout the body, in layman's terms, as long as there is a fully functional stem cell, given the right conditions, it can spontaneously grow into a complete individual! Generally, from the time the zygote is fertilized to the time it divides into 32 embryonic cells, these cells are fully functional, and then part of the function is sealed and becomes a multifunctional stem cell.

And the cell tissue that Charlene cultivated from Su Yuan's blood sample turned out to be fully functional stem cells, isn't it hell?

If these stem cells are obtained by people with a heart, wouldn't they be able to cultivate countless "Su Yuan"?

After all, fully functional stem cells themselves are not much different from fertilized eggs, and the so-called identical twins are not just after the fertilized egg divides into fully functional stem cells, and these stem cells are accidentally divided into two. And then form two separate entities?

So Su Yuan's expression changed suddenly, looking at the cell tissues that Xia Linfeng took out from the animal cell culture incubator, as if he saw countless of himself "wriggling", and there was an urge to incinerate them in his heart.

"That. What are you cultivating them for......" snorted his mouth, Su Yuan said with a bad expression, these things should be disposed of!

Xia Lin saw at a glance the discomfort in Su Yuan's heart. He said with a smile: "At that time, I wanted to extract some cells from your blood sample and culture them, and then amplify them so that they could be used as research materials. However, I didn't expect that ordinary culture medium could not proliferate cells at all, and the culture that was contaminated by the culture medium was all fully functional stem cells. I'm so embarrassed!"

"But you don't have to worry, although these stem cells are fully functional, they also seem to have a cycle, just like the one-dollar coin-sized cell tissue in front of you, every time you grow to such a large size, the cells will spontaneously enter the withering stage, and then they will never grow again. ”

"In other words......" Su Yuan said in surprise.

That is to say, these fully functional stem cells are completely chicken ribs! They are tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to discard them! They have little practical value at all. Charlene replied with her hands spread.

Su Yuan was happy after listening to it, this is really lucky, these cultured stem cells seem to have a special need for the culture medium, they cannot survive without the culture medium, and even if there is a culture medium, it also produces a survival limit and the reality of periodic oscillation.

Doesn't this mean that even if you see a fully functional stem cell, you can't use it? Because the presence of the culture medium can only maintain the existence of the stem cells at most, and once it leaves the culture medium, the cells will die. What is the use of stem cells that can only be seen, even if they are fully functional?

……

……

Xia Linfeng was actually secretly cultivating her own cells, which Su Yuan didn't expect in advance, but thinking that she was from the future, and she happened to be transformed, Xia Linfeng's motives were understandable. And she also figured out one thing - Charlene's research has encountered a bottleneck, and most of it can't be carried out.

And what about the old man's side, what kind of experiments did he do in his laboratory, which was already submerged under the reservoir?

In order to determine this, Su Yuan was in the mood to try it out, knowing that there was little hope, but he still drove to the countryside in a car. Before this, she and Su Caiwei and others attended the funeral of Gu Tou, which was not grand, but it looked solemn, and learned the approximate location of the laboratory from the mouth of the Gu family, and then drove off with Xia Linfeng.

The ancient head's home is located in a place called Panao in the countryside of Haizhou City, that place Su Yuan has been, it is a place surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery, and the deepest impression left by Su Yuan is a galloping river, like a galloping horse, pouring down from the gaps in the high stones, and a very wide clear river is in the flat place.

In the Spring Festival, the mountain is full of purple and red, green branches, warm sunshine, and moist land, which makes people intoxicated. But now these are gone, and when Su Yuan drove to Pan'ao, a white dam appeared in front of him, which looked very good from a distance.

Sure enough, the dam is already filling water, and although it is only halfway to the level of the reservoir, the lake can still be seen as far as the eye can see. In the middle of the mountain, there are even many green trees soaking in the reservoir.

"It seems that the entire pan col has been flooded...... Xia Linfeng took out her mobile phone to guide and looked, the road in front of her originally went all the way deep into the pan col, but now it has been blocked by the high dam.

Su Yuan nodded in the face of the gentle wind, looking at the lake, she said, "It seems that the laboratory of the ancient head is about to be completely buried under the water, and God won't let us see it." ”

Charlene nodded silently.

Su Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly turned around and said, "Since this is the case, we won't move forward, by the way, my grandparents are in the next town, do you want to go to my grandparents to have a look?" Although he had only gone back once not long ago, since they were all on the side, Su Yuan wanted to go back with Xia Linfang to see the two old people.

Charlene naturally had no opinion, so the two got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and got off, and the car drove along the winding mountain road towards the next town.

When Su Yuan came to his yard, it was already noon, and the smoke curling from the cooking houses in the countryside seemed to be able to smell the smell of smoke and dust after the firewood was burned, as well as the fragrance of the meals of each family. Although there are gas stoves for cooking rice in rural areas, natural firewood is also an important source of energy.

Parked the car, Su Yuan and Xia Lin stepped in the door, for the two beauties in the village, there were few onlookers around, but they all knew that this was the daughter of the Su family and her friend, naturally it was not so blatant as if they saw strangers, and there was only a small whisper in Su Yuan's ears.

In this regard, Su Yuan had a faint smile on her face and ignored it, now she can deal with these situations very skillfully. He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills!

Suddenly, there were two more mouths, and the grandparents were obviously not well prepared, so in the end, the grandmother had to work hard to order two bowls of noodles for them. (To be continued......)
