According to the regulations, the editor-in-chief Lewis also pushes the article to another expert-—— Professor Fukunaga Kimiyama of the University of Tokyo, Japan, who is one of the world's top three experts in the field of stem cells.

According to the normal review process, Professor Fuyong would not have read these three papers so quickly, because there are still many manuscripts ranked in front of Yang Ping's manuscript.

Reviewing manuscripts is a brain-consuming task, and Professor Fukunaga is always meticulous and slowly reviews them one by one in order.

After Yang Ping's three papers were strongly recommended by Maninstein, in order to go through the process strictly, Lewis had to resend an urgent email to urge Professor Fuinaga to review the manuscript as soon as possible, and he also attached Maninstein's review comments to the back of the urgent email.

Professor Fukunaga's life is very regular, he never participates in any social gatherings after work, but stays at home to read books or journal papers.

His house in Tokyo is not very large, only about 90 square meters, and his study occupies nearly 30 square meters of more than 90 square meters, which shows what a person Professor Fukunaga is who loves to read, and reading occupies a major part of his life.

After dinner, he habitually opened his e-mail to see if there were any new e-mails in it, because Professor Fukunaga maintained close communication with several major stem cell laboratories in the world, and the main way of communication was e-mail, and handling e-mails was an indispensable part of his daily work.

Suddenly, an eye-catching expedited email mark appeared in front of him, and he immediately opened the email, which was an expedited review manuscript for the journal Science.

Professor Fukunaga opened the email and first skimmed through the article to grasp the general meaning of the article.

It seems that the author chose to review the manuscript in a single blind manner, and Professor Fukunaga can see the authors of the three papers, and there is a familiar Chinese name in one that caught Professor Fukunaga's attention - Tang Shun.

This name is very high, it belongs to the principal investigator, Professor Fuyong has a proud Chinese doctoral student named Tang Shun, there are many people with the same name, will this be the same name.

Professor Fukunaga's gaze moved to the author's unit, Sanbo Hospital affiliated to Nandu Medical University in China.

The combination of name and unit, yes, it is this hospital, and his doctor Tang Shun works in this hospital.

Then this Tang Shun is his own student, this is the first project he participated in after returning to China, and it is also the first paper published as the main author.

At that time, when Tang Shun graduated, Professor Fukunaga repeatedly asked Tang Shun to stay in the stem cell laboratory of the University of Tokyo, but Tang Shun refused the kindness of his mentor and insisted on returning to China.

After returning to China, Tang Shun told his supervisor about his work unit, Professor Fuyong was furious, an excellent doctor of stem cells, even if he did not stay at the University of Tokyo, he could go to the United States, not to the United States, he must return to China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the best choice.

But this guy actually chose a hospital, a hospital whose name Professor Fukunaga had never heard of, Professor Fukunaga didn't understand Tang Shun's behavior very much, it was impossible for a researcher of basic medicine to make any achievements in the hospital, and Professor Fukunaga thought that Tang Shun was giving up on his future.

Tang Shun didn't know how to explain it, because no matter how he explained it, Fuyong would not change his opinion.

But Tang Shun was very firm in his choice, he said goodbye to his teacher and returned to China, and called Professor Fuyong, who was angry and didn't want to answer his phone at all, so the teacher and student were temporarily disconnected because of this incident.

When Yang Ping submitted his paper this time, it was Tang Shun's idea to review the papers in a single and blind manner, and he knew that the three papers would definitely flow to Professor Fuyong.

It was a student's paper, and Professor Fukunaga was so interested that he studied all three papers and, of course, like Maninstein, spent an entire night.

In order to understand the many new concepts and theories mentioned in the paper, Professor Fukunaga needs to study them repeatedly, and some fragments need to be carefully pondered in order to understand them accurately.

After reading, Professor Fukunaga leaned back in his chair and could not calm down for a long time.

The academic achievements of these three papers are far above themselves, and they have achieved the goal that they have always wanted to complete, but have not yet achieved - cloning organs with somatic cells, or cloning organs with mature somatic cells.

Although this organ is only skin, and the skin is the simplest organ in structure, with only two layers of different thicknesses, the dermis and the epidermis, they did use somatic cells to clone the skin anyway.

This is a great start that will usher in a new era of cloning that will be as significant in the history of science as sheep cloning.

After Professor Fuyong calmed down, he ignored some relevant regulations for reviewing, grabbed his mobile phone excitedly and dialed Tang Shun's mobile phone.

"Tang Shunjun—"

The Japanese professor was a little excited, and added a Jun character to the end.

"Mr. Fukunaga!"

Tang Shun was also very happy to receive a call from his mentor, but he didn't expect the mentor to take the initiative to call, which shows that the tutor has been relieved about his job choice.

Professor Fukunaga breathed calmly again and said, "Congratulations on your breakthrough in cloning technology, it's amazing!" You can actually use the skin directly as an amplification gen, and then carry out clonal expansion, this is the beginning of real local cloning technology, this is real human single organ cloning technology, you can clone skin without the help of embryo technology, this is a great start. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Fukunaga, I'm just an assistant."

Tang Shun is not modest, indeed, he is just an assistant, and he just does experiments according to Yang Ping's A4 paper, and he didn't expect the experiment to succeed at one time.

"No, it's great to be able to participate in this experiment, not to mention being the principal investigator, you make me proud." Professor Fukunaga said with a sense of neutrality.

Even the assistant is very remarkable, presumably, this is the reason why Tang Shun went to China Sanbo Hospital, it has only been a long time since he returned to China, less than three months, and he has made such a great achievement.

Professor Fukunaga asked curiously, "I'm very strange, I've never heard Professor Yang Ping's name before?" ”

Because the first signature is Yang Ping.

"He is my current professor, a genius doctor, his talent is beyond anyone's imagination, he is not a researcher in the field of stem cells, but his subject requires the use of stem cell technology, so I returned to China to follow him."

Tang Shunxiang Professor Fuyong briefly introduced Yang Ping's situation.

"Not a researcher in the field of stem cells?" Professor Fukunaga was amazed that he was not an expert in this area, but a doctor, who could make such remarkable achievements.

"He's a clinician? Or a basic medical researcher? "Professor Fukunaga is very interested in learning more about Yang Ping's situation.

"He is a clinician, a surgeon, not a basic researcher," Tang said. ”

Professor Fukunaga took a deep breath, a surgeon? Regardless of the educational background or the knowledge he possesses, it should not have much to do with stem cells, but judging from the paper, he is obviously a top researcher in this field.

"How long do you have to do your research?" Professor Fukunaga asked.

"I didn't start until I returned home."

After hearing this, Professor Fukunaga couldn't believe how it was possible to achieve such results in less than three months.

According to Professor Fukunaga's estimate, whether it is a top team in Japan or the United States, it will take at least ten years, right?

And scientific research is such a thing, I can't say for sure, sometimes it is difficult to break through for ten years, and it is estimated that everything will need to go relatively smoothly in ten years.

Now Tang Shun said that it is less than three months, how can it be?

Could it be that the public has been open for three months, and the preliminary experiments have been going on for a long time? Tang Shun played a key role in the breakthrough after returning to China?

If so, Tang Shun must be the world's highest existence in the field of stem cells in the future.

No matter how long the experiment lasts, the results are already in front of him, and Professor Fuyong can't wait to replicate Yang Ping's experiment: "If I want to replicate this experiment, do I need you to provide inducing factors?" ”

There is no mention in the paper about the genetic code of this amplification technique, why can the skin be amplified? The key is that the inducing factors play a role, but how the inducing factors play a role, the paper does not specifically mention the inducing factors, and the added inducing factors, what is the principle of their formula, what is the specific ratio, what is the function of each factor, how to obtain these factors, etc., the paper does not mention.

Whether the experimenters only know the results and have not yet figured out the principle, or whether they deliberately keep it secret, obviously the latter is more reasonable, the experimenter does not want to divulge the key information of the inducing factor, if you want to copy the experiment, you can only obtain the inducing factor from the original author for the time being.

Professor Fuyong was also inconvenient to continue to ask Tang Shun, so he directly asked Tang Shun for the inducement factor.

"That's right, that's right, because for some reason, we can't disclose how the inducer is obtained and the specific formulation, and any team that needs to replicate the experiment, we can provide the inducer biologics for free."

Tang Shun also knows that only experiments that can be copied by others will be recognized, and experiments that cannot be copied are meaningless and will be regarded as fraud, which is the basic principle of scientific research.

However, the specific information of the inducer is very critical and involves the next step of the experiment, which must be kept confidential for the safety of the next step of the experiment.

"Tang Shunjun, I'm so excited, okay, how can I get your inducement, or I should come to China for a trip." Professor Fukunaga is eager to start experimenting now.

Tang Shun asked the Japanese professor on the phone to calm down: "Professor Fukunaga, you don't need to come in person, I'll send it to you, or let Miss Masako Fukunaga come over." ”

"Okay, I'll let Masako go for a run, please, Tang Shunjun." Professor Fukunaga was very pleased.

Masako Fukunaga, Tang Shun's senior sister, a young professor at the University of Tokyo, Professor Fukunaga's daughter, Tang Shun's No. 1 girlfriend on WeChat, of course, she is in her early thirties, but she has always been single.

The famous "Science" journal was founded in 1880 by the inventor Edison with an investment of 10,000 US dollars, and 14 years later, that is, in 1894, it became the official journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the largest scientific society in the United States, with a weekly magazine of 51 issues and a global circulation of more than 1.5 million copies.

The British journal Nature is a commercial journal, while the American journal Science is an academic journal, but of course this distinction does not matter because they are both top-tier journals.

Brightly lit Science headquarters in Washington, D.C., USA.

The editor-in-chief, Lewis, took Maninstein's advice and was working overtime to reformat the next issue, which meant that all the work had to be reinvented.

Colleagues in the editorial department complained that they had worked for a few years and more than 20 years, and had never experienced this kind of thing, publishing three articles for the same person at a time, and also giving a cover article, and what was even more outrageous was that it was published expeditiously, and the journals that had been typeset were rearranged overtime.

"Boss, what's going on? I have applied for leave and you are trampling on labor rights. "Someone reluctantly taps on the keyboard.

Then, many people began to protest against this inhumane overtime practice.

Lewis walked between the lines, and he knew that he couldn't shut up these guys, so he said coldly, "This is the work of that hateful German -—— Maninstein, if I want, I can put his phone number and email address on the glass door, feel free to ask him." ”

When he heard that everything was Maninstein's idea, the guy with the loudest voice gave up protesting: "Okay, let's take it." ”

Those followers even shut up and honestly worked overtime to rearrange the content of the journal.

Because Maninstein is like a god in their hearts, and this guy doesn't play cards according to common sense, both thinking and acting are extremely weird, and they can only avoid such people.

Even if these people do go to file a labor complaint or a lawsuit, they believe that Maninstein has a hundred legal ways to disgrace protesters, not only by gaining nothing, but also by losing their jobs.

Of course they were just joking, and they didn't really want to protest Lewis.

Whether in Europe or in the United States, Maninstein did not need any lawyer or assistant, and dealt with all the doubters alone, after many rounds of article confrontation and on-the-spot debate.

In the end, these "righteous people" not only lost the battle, but also gave people all over the world the impression that -—— it turned out that these guys were all rice buckets who did not learn and did not know anything.

So, there is a famous saying in academia - "If you don't want to become a rice bucket known to the world, don't mess with Maninstein." ”

As a result, Maninstein got a domineering nickname - the Rice Bucket Maker.
