Chapter 562: The only way ahead of life science is genetic modification

The art of war is cloudy, one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion.

The same is true of the refugee wave in the West, the first wave of refugees is menacing, the impact is the most violent, and by the time this wave of strong attacks is over, the West has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to reduce the heat of the refugee tide, and the time has come to the second half of August.

At this moment, Xingchen Technology, which had been silent for more than a month, suddenly announced that it would show its metabolic control technology to the world on August 25, which attracted the attention of the world for a while.

"Well done!"

"Expedition! Let's go! And Cold Spring Harbor is tough on the front! For more than a month, Lao Tzu has had enough of the cynicism of the West! ”

In this way, the world can be lively, for a long time, it turns out that the Cold Spring Port Laboratory is not unique, Xingchen Technology has caught up, the Chinese people are extremely excited, and at the same time, they are also very enthusiastic and curious about what kind of technical route Xingchen Technology adopts.

Although he had been mentally prepared, when Luo Jia arrived at the Hudu Sports Center, he was still startled by the crowd outside, and the people were enthusiastic, although the vast majority of them did not have an invitation letter, but they still came to the scene, and more than 100,000 people gathered outside the stadium, shouting exciting slogans.

"Life sciences, after all." An Ran shrugged his shoulders and teased: "No black technology can be compared with life, people are the most important thing only when they are alive, believe me, if the gene channel technology is completed, the people will set up a tablet for you in the people, and every holiday, they will burn incense for you." ”

"Whew! How can a living person have a tablet? Luo Jia pursed his lips, "Thank you for your good words, but as a believer in Scientology, I am not interested in ghosts and gods, if you like it, I don't mind setting up a tablet for you." ”

"Bastard, my kindness is treated by you as a donkey's liver and lungs." Enron said.

"You bastard has a fart kindness, and the wolf's heart and dog lungs are about the same." Luo Jia Dao.

Xu Chunbiao, who was in charge of driving, couldn't help laughing, Luo Jia and An Ran were called chess opponents, they cherished each other, the relationship had already surpassed the boss and the employee, and reached the peak of friendship.

After a while, Luo Jia appeared backstage on time, although the Wen brothers were the directors of the life science department, they insisted on refusing to give a speech, Luo Jia had no choice but to go into battle in person, fortunately, everyone still likes to listen to Luo Jia, many times, the people listen to Luo Jia's speech as a stand-up comedy.

Boom~

As soon as Luo Jia appeared, the spotlight shone above his head, and there was immediately a warm cheer from the audience, which was far more fierce than before.

"Liar! Thief! Xingchen Technology will definitely follow the example of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and pirate fullerene technology! ”

"The first person to eat crabs is called a pioneer, and he is a shameless person who sees others eat crabs and eats them himself!"

Western audiences sent out a barrage, they thought with limited brain capacity, and they never imagined that Xingchen Technology would go under the knife to the genetic source, and thought that they would only use fullerene to scavenge free radicals like Cold Spring Harbor, and follow the technical route of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

"Shit! Fullerene technology has not been patented, why can't Xingchen Technology use it? ”

"That is, major black technology does not apply for patents, this is the practice of the scientific community, there are more scientific and technological achievements in the hands of Xingchen Technology that have not applied for patents, and you can imitate them if you have the ability, and no one will stop you."

"Fullerene was invented by scientist Harold in 1985, Cold Spring Harbor is just purified and optimized on the basis of this invention to achieve the effect of entering the human body to remove free radicals, since they are all innovative research based on other people's inventions, why can you do it, but we can't do it?"

Huaxia netizens were quickly taken to a crooked angle, and the argument of the argument was on the ownership of the patent, which was really unwise, but there was no way, because the confidentiality work was too good, and Huaxia netizens did not know that Xingchen Technology was going to go under the knife on genes.

Luo Jia stood on the stage, with a smile on her face as usual, looked around, and then said lightly: "Sorry, I made you wait for a long time." ”

"In this world, there are two forces that can transform human beings, one is an external force, for example, the Forbidden City is composed of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine half houses, and that half of the houses is the legendary eunuch purification room, a man goes in, half a man comes out, his hand rises and falls, the transformation is complete, simple and rude."

When the words fell, laughter came from the audience, which is also the characteristic of Luo Jia every time he takes the stage, not serious, very interesting, the speaker is smiling, the listener is relaxed and comfortable, a press conference lasts for two hours, no one will feel tired, and there is a feeling of unfinished.

"The second force is called genes, for example, there is a gene called FTO, Fatmassandobesityassociated, and studies have shown that FTO genes are related to satiety, which is also called obesity genes."

"All people with FTO gene mutations have a common characteristic, that is, they have eaten a lot, but they still feel a little hungry, so they eat far more food than they consume when they lack a sense of satiety, and eventually become fat."

"A considerable number of people, as long as they hear about genetic mutations, often think about it very seriously, their minds are full of aliens and zombies, but this is not the case, genetic mutations are very common, I can responsibly say that there are more or less genetic mutations in each of our bodies."

"Take the FTO gene as an example, it has three main mutations that cause a loss of satiety, which are the code name RS1421085, RS1121980 and RS17817449, and anyone who carries these three mutated genes is a potential obese group."

"So the question is, how many carriers are the three major obesity gene mutations?"

"65.6 percent, that is to say, if there is no accident, two-thirds of people will be plagued by obesity, in this world, obesity is a common phenomenon, if you have a relatively thin girlfriend or boyfriend, then cherish it, because thin people are scarce resources, fat is the main theme, people in the past were relatively thin, not because of genes, but because they can't eat."

"As we all know, it is difficult to lose weight because it has to fight against nature, but we can easily control our appetite and then control our body by modifying the FTO gene."

"Now the question is, the body can be controlled through genetic technology, but what about life?"

"Of course, it is also possible for us to control or even cut off the release of aging signals by modulating the MTOR gene channel, and this technology has largely surpassed our vision of life continuity, that is, metabolic adjustment."

"MTOR gene channel technology is a typical gene control, and the delay and decline of metabolism are just side effects of gene control..."

Luo Jia talked eloquently, and in a flat tone, showed the world the gene channel technology of Xingchen Technology, and everyone was surprised to find that Xingchen Technology's plan turned out to be a knife at the bottom and directly modified the gene.

Not to mention that the problem of genes is easy to cause controversy, how to let ordinary people figure out the complex gene technology, itself is extremely difficult, only after everyone understands the technical principle, they can make a distinction between right and wrong, and unlike now, a few big Vs said, students all regard gene technology as a flood beast, but forget that in this world, if life science wants to progress, the only way is to go under the knife on genes.

Luo Jia's speech achieved the goal of making ordinary people understand, and his method is not complicated, that is, to give more examples that ordinary people can understand, from the difference between fat and thin people, to the legend of vampires.

Modern genetic research has shown that the so-called vampire actually has a rare hereditary genetic defect disease, porphyria, porphyria is a blood disease, it has several types, but all porphyria have a common pathological mechanism, that is, heme synthesis disorder.

Therefore, porphyria patients have two significant characteristics, anemia and photophobia, when the sun activates the excessive accumulation of porphyrin substances in the skin, it will cause the patient's skin to blister, ulcerate, and the pain is unbearable, even on cloudy days, the dose of ultraviolet rays is enough to destroy their skin, therefore, porphyria patients can only go outside at night.

At present, the means of alleviating porphyrin symptoms is blood transfusion, which itself can alleviate anemia, and can also bring additional heme, which inhibits the endogenous heme synthesis pathway to a certain extent, thereby reducing the accumulation of porphyrins.

Interestingly, heme can be absorbed through the intestines, so theoretically, blood sucking can really effectively alleviate porphyrin symptoms, after the patient sucks blood, he will feel comfortable, and there may be some patients, because the pain is unbearable, they will take risks and suck human blood, so there are more vampire legends in this world.

The reason why Luo Jia said this is not to sensationalize, but to try to instill a concept in everyone, human genes, the genes in each of us, are actually flawed.

As the saying goes, human beings are not perfect, but what is wrong with human beings, or what causes them to be imperfect?

Quite simply, genetic defects.

Even if you are not bothered by obesity, you may also have lactose intolerance, drink two more sips of milk and have a stomach upset, or you will be born with thin hair and will not escape the doom of middle-aged failure.

Don't think that gene technology has nothing to do with you, the rate of genetic defects in human beings is 100%, if your genetic defects are defeated, although it is ugly, but it will not be life-threatening, it is relatively lucky, but those who are genetically prone to cancer, how should they live?

Suppose it is your child or parent who has a genetic defect in cancer, can you accept it?

"Science is always risky." Luo Jia said calmly: "But the future road has been very clear, if life science is to develop, it must move towards genetic modification, and only gene technology can improve the life span and quality of life of human beings." ”

"To be a man, you must learn to think, and you must also learn to take risks with your life, and don't be led by those scheming public intellectuals."

"In the past, there was a host who was known as a talented woman of a generation, named Chai Jing, who made a documentary with funding from North America, and under the dome, denounced the pollution problem in China."

"In fact, I myself hate pollution, no one doesn't like green mountains and green waters, but in the documentary, she proposed to open up the national energy market and let international energy giants in, which is more damning, energy security, the lifeblood of the country, let the West control, that is to pay a tragic price."

"At first, I didn't understand, what's wrong with Chai Jing?"

"Later, through two things, I had an epiphany, first, her son is North American, and second, she kept saying that she was forcing Huaxia Environmental Protection, but she didn't say a word after North America announced that she would withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.

"In short, there are many so-called experts in this world who claim that they can't use the knife on genes, but we still move, because we know that there is only one way to go forward, and between backward and forward, we have no reason to choose to retreat."

"Not long ago, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory used fullerene technology to clean up the biggest scourge in the human body, free radicals, to achieve the effect of slowing down metabolism and prolonging life."

"And we directly control the gene channel, and in the past, it was the body that gave orders to the gene channel, and in the future, we will control it."

"Prolonging life is only the first step, we also want to solve the problem of obesity, reduce the probability of all kinds of diseases, although the current immune activation technology, has been able to overcome the vast majority of diseases, but the overexcited immune system, always contains risks, through genetic modification, can make the disease fundamentally reduce the occurrence, rather than after the occurrence of the disease, use strong means to treat."

"If the West likes to become a more imperfect human being, it just likes to lose itself and smell like a fox, I have no opinion, but we in China are ready to go on the road to a better and stronger goal, and we have done the most defiant life extension, and the others are more fearless."
