Professor Connors has recently been working on serums that cure cancer. Almost all animals in the world are at risk of cancer.

It is just a rumor that sharks do not get cancer, and although the anti-tumor factors in cartilage make sharks have a very small chance of getting cancer, they can still get a deadly cancer called melanoma.

Elephants also have a lower chance of getting cancer than ordinary animals, because the TP53 gene in elephants can detect the integrity of DNA and repair the genes that produce cancer cell mutations in time to remove abnormal cells.

The only animal with zero cancer incidence is the mole, and so far, not a single case of cancer has been detected in the mole.

The mole's genome contains many tumor suppressor genes, such as the ARF gene, and lacks those genes that are involved in the development of cancer. The mole's genome has a high copy number of genes responsible for repairing DNA, ribosomes that make essentially error-free proteins, and a large number of chaperone proteins that help other proteins fold properly. These make the mole's genome and cellular state extremely stable.

Second, there is a hyaluronic acid polymer in the mole cells, a molecule that triggers a particularly powerful mechanism called "early contact inhibition," which stops dividing as soon as the cells "feel too crowded." Even if a cell becomes cancerous, after a few rounds of division, the cell crowding triggers this mechanism, and the cancer cells cannot proliferate wildly.

It's just that Professor Connors is not sure that injecting the mole gene will cure the cancer that is already at an advanced stage. What's more, if he turns into a big mole, he's not sure Wade will be able to accept it.

After much hesitation, he decided to try to cut the genes associated with inhibition of cancer in three animals, sharks, elephants and moles, and splice them into Wade. Wilson's body. If all goes well, Wade won't be able to exhibit the traits of those three animals.

That's what the cross-species gene transplant project is all about, and the lizardfolk are just a by-product of the project.

The research went round and round and got back on track, and Professor Connors put almost all of his energy into it, even putting the recipe analysis of the culture medium on hold.

If the research is successful, he will almost cure cancer, a terminal human disease, at its root.

Because of his experience in preparing serum countless times, Professor Connors has made rapid progress and has already made three genetically bound serums and injected them into the body of mice for observation.

After the lessons of the lizardmen, he was extremely cautious, for fear that the fusion of animal genes would cause abnormalities in the human body.

In the first experiment, more than 40 out of 50 white rats underwent mutations, and the characteristics of various sharks, elephants and moles appeared, and one of them gave birth to seven or eight hands and feet, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes, which were strange and inexplicable, and made people feel cold.

Even Professor Connors, as a biology guru who didn't know how many samples had been dissected, was shocked by the aberrant test specimens.

After destroying the failed products, he analyzed the test subjects that had not been mutated, deleted the genomes that might have caused the mutation of the body, and improved the formula of the serum.

It's just that the work of this project is extremely heavy, and he has only one person, without the assistance of assistants, and the progress is slow and takes a long time.

Professor Connors thought of the massive amount of data stored in his computer, and his head was not as big as a bucket. If it weren't for the lizard serum, he might have been bald by this time.

Suddenly, someone rang the doorbell of the laboratory, and Connors took a look and saw that it was Broly outside, and hurriedly opened the door to the laboratory.

There was some apprehension in his heart, and the two projects that Broly had given him were stuck in a rut and were making slow progress.

Broly glanced around the lab and placed the cooler on the floor.

"This is a sample of cancer cells from Wade's body."

When Professor Connors heard that he had obtained the sample, his heart immediately became interested. These cancer cells cut from Wade's body can be divided and multiplied in the culture medium. At that time, the formula of serum has been successfully adjusted, and it can be used to test whether it can effectively restrain cancer cells.

"These cancer cells are not ordinary."

Broly shook his head and described the abnormality in Wade's body at the time of the operation.

Professor Connors was astonished, he had read a lot of information and papers on cancer in this short period of time because of his research on serum, but it was also the first time he had seen such an evil cancer.

A hint of curiosity rose in his heart, and he immediately opened the refrigerator, took out the tumor that was frozen inside, processed the slices, and placed them under the electron cryomicroscope that he had stolen from the Osborne Group.

Under a microscope that is large enough to see the structure of the macromolecules, the cancer cell sample is visible.

"How is that possible... There are so many cancer cells still alive. ”

Professor Connors couldn't help but exclaim. Under the microscope, there are still about sixty or seventy percent of the cancer cells that are still extremely alive, constantly wriggling and devouring each other.

Cancer cells are very difficult in the human body, and it can almost be said that wildfires are inexhaustible, and the wind blows and grows. But once exposed to the external environment, it becomes very fragile and difficult to survive. He wanted to grow cancer cells, and he wanted to proliferate the very small fraction of the tumor that might survive.

Broly raised an eyebrow, looking at the severed lump of tumor in the freezer. The qi of this tumor was almost faint and imperceptible, so he didn't know that most of the cancer cells in it were still alive all the way around.

"Interesting."

A large mass of qi immediately gathered in his hands, and Professor Connors, whose dazzling light almost flashed, temporarily lost his vision.

With a flick of his hand, Broly's extremely powerful qi fell into the refrigerator and merged into the cancer cells. He wanted to try to see what changes this cancer cell could make if it absorbed a lot of qi.

That mass of gas was not painful or itchy to Broly, but to that mass of cancer cells, it was like a rat entering the granary. They stopped devouring each other and began to swallow frantically.

The whole tumor, which looked to be completely dead, suddenly seemed to come back to life, rapidly peristalsis and multiplied, and the surface of the tumor bulged with a clump of hideous blisters filled with yellow-green pus and blood, which were connected to each other, and the volume expanded rapidly, and in just a few minutes, the whole tumor expanded three or four times, squeezing the entire refrigerator to the brim.

Countless tentacle-like tentacles swayed constantly, and the cooler crackled and sat down.

Broly could even perceive that the qi of the entire tumor was rising rapidly, and in this short period of time, it was almost the same as the qi of ordinary people, and it was still getting stronger.
