129 Elixir
The AIM protein is a component of mammals discovered by accident during the study of immune-related genes at the Institute of Immunology in the nineties of the last century.
It is only in recent years that we have fully understood what role this thing plays in the animal's body.
The AIM protein, also known as CD5L, is produced by the immune cells of macrophages and is a secreted protein that helps macrophages recognize and destroy dead cells and other debris.
The professional statement may not be clear, but in other words, most people may know what this thing is for.
The AIM protein is found in mammals and can control and target dead cells in the renal tubules.
Originally, this study was more about the relationship between AIM and kidney disease, and Toru Miyazaki has been focusing on obesity and liver cancer for such a long time.
However, the paper is very interesting, because the amino acid arrangement in the AIM protein of felines is slightly different from that of humans, resulting in the failure of AIM.
Toru Miyazaki's research is aimed at this aspect to control kidney disease in cats.
Zhou Lu knows that cats, in addition to cat plague, 90% of the causes of death are kidney disease, and older cats basically die with a high incidence of kidney disease.
In the narrative of this paper, it is possible to activate the AIM protein in the cat by calling AIM.
This means that if the research is successful, the life span of cats in the world will be extended to 30 years old!
Shen Nan saw that Wen Wanwan had finished reading the paper, and then he opened his mouth to explain.
"At present, the application value of AIM for felines has not been reflected, but if it can work for kittens, I think most felines should be able to use it."
"I know, I will contact the boss when I have time in the next few days, and strive to get a batch of samples for backup."
Hearing this, Shen Nan hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Actually, I don't need to go up, I can contact Professor Miyazaki with personal connections, but a few spare samples should be fine."
"Huh?"
Looking at Wen Wanwan's slightly questioning gaze, Shen Nan organized his words before speaking.
"In 2021, Professor Miyazaki was in an economic crisis, and it was a large donation from cat owners all over the world who knew the news that allowed this research to continue."
"I have a classmate who participated in an academic exchange at the University of Tokyo, and he also donated a lot of money, and he has a good relationship with Professor Miyazaki."
Hearing this, Wen Wanwan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then this matter will be handed over to you, just tell me if you are short of money, there are still a lot of books in the aid station." ”
"Okay, I'll contact that classmate tomorrow!"
Shen Nan directly took over the task, and this sample was extremely useful for the rescue station.
There are many cats in this area of Changbai Mountain, such as Far Eastern leopards, Siberian tigers, and a series of animals can use this AIM protein.
Wen Wanwan watched Shen Nan leave, and also set her eyes on the barrage in the live broadcast room.
Looking at the question marks on the whole screen, this organized the language introduction.
The efficacy of AIM was introduced, and then Wen Wanwan made a summary.
"Theoretically, this study is now in clinical trials, and animal drugs are not as rigorous as human approvals."
"At the latest, we will probably be able to see the production of this drug in two years."
Lime Yunxia: [Don't worry about rice, Mom will definitely let you eat this elixir!] 】
Gu Yiran: [I swear, I won't be late or leave early now, I will be the first to rush to the first task, and I will definitely give my glutinous rice to eat this bite of peaches! ] 】
It's a pity: [No matter, for the sake of the two rebels in my family, I have to buy this elixir for nothing! ] 】
Looking at the excitement of a group of cat owners in the live broadcast room, Wen Wanwan didn't hit them.
"Although this drug is not needed yet, Toru Miyazaki mentioned in his paper that he developed a cat food called AIM30 with a small amount of this ingredient."
"This kind of cat food is definitely not as good as medicine, but if you eat it all year round, it will also have a relieving effect on the cat's kidneys."
In a word, the barrage in the live broadcast room is much rarer.
This group of people can't wait to let their cat owners eat this mouthful of cat food that is contaminated with a little fairy spirit.
Of course, the use of the AIM protein is certainly not simply for felines, and the ultimate goal of Toru Miyazaki's research on this protein is also to treat Alzheimer's disease, commonly known as Alzheimer's disease.
Although Wen Wanwan hadn't seen him, she felt that this person was really good.
The cat owners let him continue his research, and he also carried out a long study of cats, and even developed a cat food in advance for fear of waiting, so that sick cats could delay some time.
After playing with the group of cats in the cage for a while, Wen Wanwan also stretched and stood up.
"That's all for today's live broadcast, it's not too early, tomorrow if it's okay, I'll take you to meet the animals at the rescue station."
With a barrage of tomorrow in the live broadcast room, Wen Wanwan quickly turned off the live broadcast.
looked at Shen Nan, who had never left: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Shen Nan was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke.
"Stationmaster, have you ever wondered what the future of the aid station will look like?"
Hearing this, Wen Wanwan was also stunned for a moment, and then leaned back in the chair and thought about it.
Originally, she just wanted the rescue station to last, and it was already good to have a little spare money to change the living conditions of these animals on Changbai Mountain.
Each generation has its own mission, and the old stationmasters of the previous generation mainly fend off those poachers and protect these animals.
But when it comes to her, it's more about restoring the population of these scarce animals and starting to reproduce in large numbers again.
Shen Nan looked at Wen Wanwan and didn't speak for a long time, and put Toru Miyazaki's paper on the table.
"Stationmaster, your medicine is amazing, at least for animals, most of them are no less than this elixir."
"What if the aid station could have its own laboratory?"
"We don't even need to study the stationmaster's drugs, as long as we get the authorization of Toru Miyazaki's AIM protein, we can carry out targeted feline drug development."
"But if you only plan to guard Changbai Mountain and take care of the animals on it, this is also an option."
Hearing Shen Nan's words, Wen Wanwan grabbed her hair.
"Lab, isn't it a little too far for us?"
Hearing Wen Wanwan's words, Shen Nanwan's immovable face also brought a slight smile.
The first step in drawing cakes for the boss, success!
