Chapter 658: Telomerase

readx;

Lin Hong held the book and quickly flipped through it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

If you want to say that reading books to learn knowledge, it has always been his forte, and he was able to teach himself at a glance when he was a few years old, let alone now.

In less than ten minutes, he had already finished reading this tome manual, and he also had confidence in some laboratory operations in his heart.

It is described in great detail, not only some operating specifications that need to be paid attention to when doing experiments, but also various operation essentials for doing experiments, which are very comprehensive and are exactly what Lin Hong urgently needs now.

Hang Qin couldn't help but shake her head slightly when she saw him go through the flowers so quickly, she didn't understand what this boy was doing here, he didn't even understand the most basic operations, and he actually came here to do experiments.

However, the big sister looks very professional, and all the experimental movements can be called standard models.

Perhaps, this boy is just her cousin or something? Just having fun here?

The experiment in Hang Qin's hand had been completed, and he was about to go to Si Qian's side to see what experiment she was doing, but he saw Lin Hong pick up the test tube and dropper again and start a new attempt.

This time, he put on a special costume, gloves and a mask, and stared solemnly and earnestly at the use of a dropper to transfer the blood sample from the test tube into a small petri dish......

When Hang Qin was halfway through, he couldn't walk anymore, and his eyes were wide open, and he was very surprised in his eyes.

From Lin Hong, she actually saw the temperament of her mentor when he was doing experiments, when he operated various instruments and utensils, he was clean and neat, and there were no superfluous movements at all, just like an old experimenter who had been immersed in this area for more than ten years.

This...... What's going on?

Hang Qin was puzzled, could it be that he did it on purpose just now?

The thought that she had just run over to point fingers at him made her face a little hot.

This guy is so hateful, he must have done it on purpose just now, causing people to make a fool of themselves!

No wonder that Sister Si Qian was secretly laughing over there. I thought I was laughing at him, but I didn't expect it to be laughing at me.

Hang Qin was embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly said to Si Qian, and left the laboratory, she really didn't have the face to continue to stay, she was really embarrassed just now.

Lin Hong didn't know that his perverted learning ability made Hang Qin think of so many things, and all his attention was on the experiment.

He is now trying to find a way to isolate cancer cells from his blood, and then find a way to destroy the "telomerase enzyme" that holds genetic information in cancer cells.

The process. The first is to isolate the cancer cells, then chemically break down the cell wall of the cancer cells, and finally, through his own special ability, to find this protein molecule called "telomerase".

Si Qian's work is somewhat different from his.

What she has to do is to isolate the immune cells from the blood sample, put them in a culture flask, and use artificial methods to culture a large number of these immune cells externally, and then inject the cultured immune cells into the patient. See if you can use the attack energy of immune cells to kill cancer cells.

For example, cancer cells and immune cells are like two opposing armies. They use the human body as a battlefield, and immune cells are the protective side, and once they detect the invasion of cancer cells, they act immediately to destroy them.

However, sometimes the survival of immune cells can be affected by the surrounding environment, the host's dietary habits, and other diseases, and once the immune cells are damaged, cancer cells that have been eyeing each other will take advantage of the situation. Invasion in a big way.

Once the cancer cells occupy a slight advantage, this advantage will be like a butterfly effect, and it will gradually change from quantitative to qualitative changes, and finally the cancer cells will occupy the initiative on the battlefield and build a fortress and base camp on the battlefield. Utterly declared victory.

At this time, under the fierce pursuit of cancer cells, immune cells are not only scarce, but also correspondingly weakened, and cannot have an impact on the occupation at all.

Things to do for Si Qian. It is to transfer a small group of immune cell troops from the "battlefield" that has deteriorated, put them into a new replication and cultivation base, give them sufficient nutrition and a suitable temperature, and carry out artificial large-scale replication and cultivation to restore their numbers and combat effectiveness to their original level, and then put this new army back into the battlefield to fight cancer cells.

If it doesn't work once, it will be two or three times......

In any case, today's cell culture technology can be easily carried out in the laboratory, and its speed is also very fast.

However, this method is still only in Si Qian's imagination, and whether it can work or not has to be confirmed by experiments, and finally it will be used in the specific treatment of patients.

Si Qian first isolated the cancer cells from Lin Changming's blood samples, and then injected these cancer cells into the body of the mice, so that these cancer cells could be infected in the cells of the mice, creating "tumor patients".

Next, blood is drawn from the mice, immune cells are isolated, and the culture of immune cells is started.

After waiting for some days, when the tumor cells of the mouse reach a certain level, the cultured immune cells are injected into its body, and the specific situation of the experimental subject is checked and recorded at any time.

Lin Hong and Si Qian have taken root in this laboratory since then, especially Lin Hong, who seems to have returned to the state of sleepless when he was a child.

Of course, it is not completely without rest, he directly asked people to prepare a sleeping bag in a small room in the laboratory, and then rest according to the Da Vinci sleep method.

The da Vinci sleep method is a timed short-term sleep delay work method invented by the genius Da Vinci, which improves the efficiency of time use through the rigid regularity of sleeping and not sleeping.

The method is simple, that is, 15 minutes of sleep every four hours of work, so that at the end of the day, the cumulative time spent on sleep is less than an hour and a half.

However, this sleep method has been questioned by many people, who believe that such a strict regulation of sleep time is unscientific, because many people simply cannot fall asleep in a very short time, and even lie in bed for more than 15 minutes to sleep.

Many people have tested and proven that this method of discord is very feasible, and it takes at least half an hour to two hours at a time.

Lin Hong did not have any obstacles to the practice of this method, due to the existence of the superbrain system, he could accurately fall asleep on time, and after fifteen minutes of rest, the whole person's spirit did become energetic.

He even wondered if Leonardo da Vinci had the same control over his body, including his brain, to a very fine level.

Today, Hang Qin came to the laboratory before seven o'clock, but to her surprise, the laboratory was still lit at this time.

She opened the door and went in, and found that Lin Hong was still doing something in the laboratory.

"Doesn't he have to sleep?"

A huge question arose in Hang Qin's mind, she found that no matter how early she arrived at the laboratory, she would definitely see that he was doing experiments, and no matter how late she left the laboratory, he would always leave later than herself.

When Lin Hong saw her, he smiled and said, "Good morning." ”

"Good morning."

Hang Qin came to his side and asked, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

Lin Hong said while operating the experimental instrument: "Not yet." However, when Si Qian came back, he would bring it by the way. ”

Lin Hong took out a test tube containing light blue liquid from the incubator at this time, put it in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

"What is this?"

Lin Hong explained: "An enzyme inside the cell, according to the domestic translation, should be called telomerase. ”

As a Ph.D. student, Hang Qin naturally knows what telomerase is, an enzyme responsible for telomere lengthening.

A telomere is a piece of DNA at the end of a chromosome.

For example, if the entire DNA structure is a long sleeve of wool, then the telomere is the part of the cuff that has been detached.

Telomeres appear at the beginning and end of the cell's chromosomes after the cell divides, and this enzyme allows the telomeres of the chromosomes to be repaired, re-suturing the detached parts together to form a smooth whole.

In this way, the next time the cell undergoes clonal division, there will not be any loss of genetic information, and the number of cell division clones can be increased.

In ordinary normal cells, telomerase is very tightly regulated, generally after a certain number of divisions, the activity of this enzyme will gradually decrease, without its escort, the life of the cell will gradually come to an end, because every division will be damaged.

It is only in specific cells such as hematopoietic cells, stem cells, and germ cells that the activity of telomerase is unusually strong and can be detected.

Telomerase is related to the life of cells, and the life of cells is related to the life of organs, so some scientists say that this enzyme has a close relationship with human lifespan, as long as the secret of telomerase is cracked, the secret of human "immortality" has been cracked.

However, telomerase is not so easy to isolate, the process and environmental requirements are very harsh, her mentor also did telomerase isolation experiments, she remembers very clearly, many failures before finally cultivating a vial.

Lin Hong was able to cultivate such a tube in such a short period of time, which surprised her very much.

Thinking of this, Hang Qin casually asked, "What kind of cell's telomerase is this?" ”

Lin Hong's eyes showed a color of hope, and said, "Cancer cells." ”

As long as I find a way to destroy this enzyme, I can cure my father's illness! Lin Hong said in his heart.

"Cancer cells?" Hang Qin was stunned when he heard this. ^-^^-^
