"The time of division has come again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Gao Meinan said numbly.

"Ugh." The lotus scratched her head, normally speaking, the cell division cycle is 2.4 years, and the number of divisions is about 50. From this, it can be deduced that the life expectancy of human beings should be 120 years. But his cells have divided 3 times in the past few months, which is disgusting.

"Are there any chromosomal changes?"

"Nope." Gao Meinan looked at him with a dull gaze, "It's always been complete." ”

"Telomeres haven't changed..."Lotus pondered for a moment and said, "Has active telomerase been detected?" ”

"No, hehe.." Gao Meinan laughed nervously, even telomerase has been alienated, what else is this studying?

Lotus turned her head in embarrassment, this is about to drive him crazy..

Each chromosome in the cell has a special sequence of DNA at each end, called telomeres. The telomeric DNA sequence will shorten after each cell division, and when it reaches a critical value, it will not be able to completely replicate the chromosomes in the cell, and the DNA sequence may be lost, eventually causing cell aging and death.

Telomerase can fill up the defects of DNA replication, prolong telomere repair, and make telomeres not be depleted due to cell division, so that the number of cell divisions increases.

The relationship between telomeres and aging can be summarized in three points.

First, the older a cell is, the shorter its telomere length becomes. The younger the cells, the longer the telomeres. When telomeres are shortened to critical lengths, cells cannot divide again, aging accelerates, and then dies.

Second, normal cells have shorter telomeres. Cell division makes telomeres shorter, dividing once, shortening a little. Just like a worn iron, if it wears down to the point that only a stump remains, the cell is close to senescence.

Thirdly, there is an enzyme present in the cell that synthesizes telomeres. The length of telomeres is determined by enzymes. This is called telomerase.

A large number of experiments have shown that telomeres and telomerase have a certain relationship with cell aging and immortality. However, the extraction of telomerase, a macromolecular physiologically active substance, is quite complicated, and all the drugs under such a banner in the outside world are counted as one, which is all deceptive!!

Again, the human body is as if it is locked. Even if the intracellular telomerase is replenished by high-energy means, what awaits everyone can only be cancerous.

However, the unknown substances in the lotus flower not only absorb free radicals, it is like a key to unlock all kinds of shackles in the human body. But this key: It's too high-end.

"Compare the data to me." Lotus stabilized her irritable mood and said calmly.

"Oh." Gao Meinan opened the cabinet and pulled out a document bound with dozens of pages.

After the lotus flower opened, the eyelids jumped violently, and the page was full of x, x1, x2... It's all unknown units, unknown reactions.

"Well.." He gently closed the file and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?" ”

"Yes." Gao Meinan's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "The unknown substance in your body comes from the growth of the inner core, but Li Jiani has wrapped a layer of substances similar to defense mechanisms outside the cell membrane. It's constantly producing chemical reactions that affect bodily functions. ”

"So what?" The lotus stared at him with embarrassment.

"So theoretically, as long as we study why Li Jiani produces this foreign substance, then it is possible..."

"No way." Lotus shook his head vigorously, although he didn't prove it, he also believed that Li Jiani's change was "made" by himself. This kind of thing is too terrible, if people know that they are carrying "holy water", it will be more difficult to live than Tang Seng!

"But..."

"But what's that? Are there any shame on you! Lotus opened the document fiercely, and said angrily: "Sleep, no, research!" ”

Gao Meinan scratched his hair in confusion, but he didn't care. How to study the origin of the substances in Li Jiani's body? Completely clueless.

....

Time passes day by day, and the end of the year is approaching.

Lotus stays in the laboratory almost every day these days, fortunately, his physical function is super strong, and he still has the physical strength to enjoy life at night, otherwise Li Jiani will definitely make trouble!

The lotus flower with full firepower is very terrifying, and with his strong memory and brain power, he can complete the calculations of other people in a few days. Since he can't find a pattern, then he can only push it! First of all, it is necessary to find out the various data changes at the time of cell division, and then compare Li Jiani with ordinary people. All possibilities are repeatedly deduced from numerical differences. The workload is quite large, and this is a job that cannot be replaced by a computer, and there are too many variables.

However, his progress was unbelievably smooth, and the difficulties were solved one by one. The frightened Gao beautiful man is scattered, why is it suddenly like this?

Why is this happening? Even Li Jiani doesn't know this answer.

Lotus starts his research every day as usual, but he can't forget it!! Can't forget what he did!! In order to break the deadlock, for the sake of science, he finally set his hands on the cells that he could detect in place of the function of telomerase. Uh, to put it simply, it was the first time in this life that he completed xx without the assistance of Li Jiani. Well, to put it more simply, he hit a fly.

Calculate, verify, extract, apply..

On December 2, 2006,

"Come on."

Lotus smiled and looked smugly at the two of them who looked like elementary school students in his eyes, "An exciting time is coming, you are fortunate enough to see the greatest breakthrough in human history!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang .."

Li Jiani applauded excitedly, she glanced at the stunned Gao Meinan, and snorted coldly, "Clap your hands." ”

"Bang Bang Bang .." Gao Meinan clapped his hands in a depressed mood, strictly speaking, he did nothing about this research.

Lotus nodded satisfactorily, he walked to the side of the machine, and said, "Now I'm going to press this green button, before I want to ask, what does green represent?" ”

"Hope, life." Gao Meinan answered the question as soon as he was given.

"Smack."

Lotus looked at Li Jiani's little hand in horror and pressed it on the button of hope, his eyes were dark, and he fainted. I've been working hard for so long, and I've been flying once, so I have to grab the opportunity to press it?

"Make history, make history!" Li Jiani raised her little hands and shouted happily.

"Didi, Didi..."

However, just when the lotus flower lost her soul, Li Jiani's heart was full of joy, and Gao Meinan's self-pity was self-pitying...

The mechanical red light flashes.

The lotus flower came back to her senses in an instant, staring at the various data displayed on the screen with her eyes, the cells multiplying, dividing, and becoming cancerous...

moment

"Hey, hey." He scratched his head a little embarrassed, glanced at the two of them shyly, and whispered, "Failed.." (To be continued.) )
