Chapter 80: The Revolution in Medicine (I)
This embryonic stem cell directional cultivation technology should be a by-product, and Xue Yunchu soon came to the laboratory in charge of Grunde.
"Doctor, this is the result of our experiment, now most of the tissues and organs of the human body can be cultivated independently, with a cycle of no more than two weeks, this is an invention that shocks the world!" Grund was very excited, as an expert in this field, he knew how difficult it was to do this, and if it were not for the guidance of the young people in front of him in many places, it would have been impossible to achieve such results in just two years.
Xue Yunchu walked through rows of various tissues and organs of the human body soaked in a special nutrient solution, and many important human organs such as kidneys, hearts, and brains all have complete physiological vitality, and I have to say that this is indeed an invention that can change the current situation in the medical field.
It took a whole afternoon to look at the physical results, and then to write down the entire cultivation process and related technical materials that they demonstrated through the computer.
In the end, Xue Yunchu nodded, "You have done a good job, this laboratory and the relevant personnel of this project will be rewarded by you in the near future." ”
Grund knew that the reward would be great, but what he cared about most was when the invention of the research would be announced around the world.
"Doctor, we have only cultivated various organs in the laboratory now, and its activity and effect still need to be further verified clinically." Grund made a request.
"I will raise this with the project sponsor, and I believe that I will get a reply soon." Xue Yunchu thought in his heart that it might not be so easy, this achievement is just an accessory, but it is easier to make the cloning thing cloned with a legal coat, it seems that Grandrent will really take advantage of the loopholes of the law.
Grund couldn't imagine that the doctor was still turning other thoughts, and he couldn't stop his excitement, "This achievement can definitely break the current restrictions on cloning, think about those patients who can't survive through transplantation because of the cost of organs and immune rejection, I believe that even the U.S. government that completely bans cloning can't resist their pressure, and the bill to legalize cloning will be passed soon." ”
After a while, he said to himself: "This achievement cannot be compared with the achievements of those Nobel Prize winners in medicine in recent years, and only the anti-HIV drug developed by the doctor three years ago has the same status, and it is worth at least five Nobel Prizes." ”
Xue Yunchu has personally experienced a characteristic of human beings, and attaches great importance to honor, even for people like Grund, although he is belittling those Nobel Prize winners, there is envy in his tone that cannot be concealed. He didn't care about this kind of thing that didn't bring practical benefits, otherwise he could have obtained it 1 year ago, and Jiang Minghong said that it was because the other party couldn't contact him that he was disqualified from winning the award this time. Jiang Minghong naturally will not reveal his whereabouts, and Grandrent will not expose his existence.
For those Nobel laureates he is still very sure, after all, it represents a group of the highest creativity of human beings, without a advance guidance, independent exploration and verification, it takes dozens of times more time and money, Edison invented the filament on the experiment of more than 1000 kinds of materials, if you know in advance that tungsten is the most suitable, specializing in this kind of material, the difficulty is incomparable.
Leaving Grund's laboratory, Xue Yunchu remembered what he said about clinical application, and he had to ask Grandrent what he meant.
"Targeted cultivation of embryonic stem cells has been successful?!" Smith did not behave much different from Grund after hearing this report, this achievement is very different from their disgraceful immortality research, which can be affirmed by the international medical community, not to mention that many countries support the development of this kind of research, the United Kingdom, China, South Korea and so on are currently in full force to carry out this kind of research, their main research topic also happens to be this, because this is currently the most needed in clinical medicine.
This can mean huge honors and gains, and Smith can't help but be moved.
"Was this study so surprising to you?" As a standard capitalist, Grandrent values its value, and in recent years there has been no invention in the medical field that can surprise this henchman, except for the appearance of anti-AIDS drugs, which is also his original motivation for proposing to recruit the scientist, and it seems that his original decision was really as correct as ever.
"Of course, it is surprising that this means that human medical technology will enter a new world! It is a landmark scientific achievement! Smith applied several exclamations in quick succession.
Hearing him say this, Grandrent became very interested, "Then what changes will you bring about in detail?" ”
"Of course, first of all, the current reality of organ transplantation can be fundamentally changed, and its medical costs will be reduced to the normal range of an ordinary family, which alone can be said to be a great achievement!" Smith carefully looked at the entire culture technology, and the cost was not high, but the early production of hardware facilities was relatively high, and there was a need for special organ culture for each patient who needed transplantation.
"The most important thing is that patients no longer have to worry about immune rejection after organ transplantation, and they use organs from the same source, which is incomparable even if they are transplanted between twin brothers." Smith continued.
"In addition, many other diseases can also be solved by this technology, such as leukemia, neurological diseases such as paralysis due to nerve injury, and many other diseases. It can be said that its invention can cause a revolution completely! Smith made a final assertion.
In the end, Smith brought a hint of decadence, "When it comes to this, I have to feel that there is really a so-called genius in this world, although the drug invented by that person before has surprised me, but it cannot be compared with the results under his auspices this time, after all, anti-HIV drugs are aimed at a specific small number of patients, but this achievement can be oriented to the entire medical community!" Even many people who die because of organ failure may be given a chance to prolong their lives. ”
Grandrent was not much moved by Smith's exclamations, this achievement was so important that he was both happy and worried, happy that he had not made a wrong decision, and that he could get the opportunity to prolong his life with this result alone, and that he was naturally worried about whether it would cause others to covet and bring unnecessary disasters to himself, provided that it was made public.
"Shall we announce it, then?" He asked tentatively.
"Yes, of course, if this achievement, which can change the status quo of the medical community, is buried in the laboratory, the development of human medicine will be slowed down by 10 years! In today's rapid development of science and technology, 10 years represents the difference between modern and modern times! "Smith was excited today more than at any time before.
Even if this person is his confidant, he is still a scientist at heart, and he takes the development of science as his goal, although he agrees with that scientist's research project, only because it is indeed the ultimate goal of medicine. In the final analysis, medicine is not to cure diseases and save people, and to cure diseases and save people is not to prolong people's lives. Although the two were talking on a secret phone and couldn't see each other's expressions, Grandrent still understood Smith's mood very well at this time.
What to do, Grandrent fell into a long thought after the call.
