Chapter 148 [It is of immeasurable significance to the progress of human society]
Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for many end-stage organ diseases in the current medical field. However, in this field, the current technological level on the Earth's side is far less than that of the Blue Star world, and it faces huge difficulties.
Globally, organ damage and death caused by traffic accidents, diseases, etc. have resulted in a large number of patients requiring organ transplantation. However, the number of organs available for transplantation is extremely limited, which is far from meeting the demand.
Statistics show that in Beijing, an average of 20 patients die every day while waiting for organ transplants; in China, the organ transplant supply and demand ratio is about 1:30, and a large number of patients suffer from illness while waiting for a long time. Hope became increasingly slim until he died in despair.
Traditional organ transplantation not only has scarce donors, but also suffers from the thorny problem of immune rejection. After an organ is transplanted, the patient's immune system recognizes it as a foreign body, triggering an immune rejection reaction. This not only affects the function and survival rate of the organ, but also causes the patient to need to take immunosuppressants for a long time and bear the risk of many side effects such as high drug costs and infection. .
If single organ cloning technology can be realized, specific organs can be grown in vitro based on the patient's own cells to replace damaged or failing organs, which will solve this series of difficulties.
Blue Star World's single organ cloning technology, under the action of a unique growth hormone, causes the metabolism of cell tissues to surge rapidly in a short period of time.
This was the case when Xiao Yu created a clone of an organic body. In just one month, the cloned body was cultivated and cloned through an in vitro culture chamber. After it developed into a mature body, it could stabilize again and return to the normal metabolic level of a living individual.
The cultivation time of single organ clones will be shorter, and they can be cultivated in about two weeks.
In other words, if a patient is diagnosed and needs an organ replacement, he does not need to wait for a long period of uncertainty. Basically, a single organ can be cloned and transplanted within a month. This efficiency is unimaginable in the current medical field on earth. Dare to think.
If single organ cloning technology can be successfully realized and widely used, it will greatly change the current medical landscape.
From the perspective of patients, it can provide organs that completely match themselves, effectively solve the problem of immune rejection, greatly improve the success rate of transplantation, extend the patient's life, and improve the quality of life.
From the perspective of medical development, single organ cloning technology will promote the vigorous development of regenerative medicine, cell biology and other disciplines, and promote the advancement of personalized and precise medical treatments.
From a social perspective, it can reduce the pressure on the allocation of medical resources and allow more patients to regain hope in life. At the same time, it can help alleviate a series of conflicts caused by organ shortages, especially the various dark events derived from the underground trade of organs.
If single organ cloning technology can be realized and widely used, and the cost is lower than the current cost of organ transplantation, then there will basically be no market for the underground transactions that are happening now, because other people’s organs have immune rejection problems, and there are better Buyers are most likely unwilling to use substitutes, and they themselves are shady.
This underground trade will naturally go extinct due to the birth of single organ cloning technology, which to a certain extent indirectly saves a large number of innocent "donors" from dying, which is of immeasurable significance to the progress of human society.
……
But at this moment, Xiao Yu had already made a decision in his heart. He immediately turned his head and looked at Chu Jinmeng who was sitting next to him and said: "To overcome the technical problem of single organ cloning, you cannot achieve it by relying on your single subject area. You need to gather together." Multidisciplinary wisdom, collaborative operations”
Xiao Yu thought about the cloning technology he learned about at Blue Star and added: "The field of biology deeply explores the molecular mechanisms of cell differentiation and development, accurately analyzes the gene regulatory network of nerve guidance factors and angiogenesis factors, and provides a theoretical blueprint for organ construction; Medical experts rely on clinical experience to optimize transplant surgery plans, accurately assess the risk of immune rejection, and formulate personalized treatment strategies.”
After a pause, Xiao Yu finally added: "In addition, those of us who are engaged in materials science develop new biocompatible materials to build ideal 'scaffolds' for cell growth and organ shaping, such as constructing scaffolds with bionic blood vessel structures to guide The orderly growth of vascular endothelial cells promotes the vascularization process." When Chu Jinmeng heard this, he looked up at Xiao Yu and said, "Brother-in-law, are you also studying biotechnology?"
Xiao Yuyun said calmly: "It's just a little bit, but it's definitely not as good as you, a cell biology professional with a Ph.D."
Speaking of which, Chu Jinmeng has already achieved outstanding results in several fields such as cell biology and regenerative medicine before she graduated. The key is that she is so young now, more than two years younger than Xiao Yu. How many people are in their thirties? She has not yet graduated with a doctorate at the age of 18. She has achieved great results at such a young age, and it can be said that she has a bright future.
At this time, Xiao Yu looked at Chu Jinmeng again and said, "Didn't you say you want to work here? When I arrange for Lingjing Technology Company to establish a new bioengineering business department, you can come and work in this department."
Hearing this, Chu Jinmeng's beautiful eyes flashed, and she looked at Xiao Yu with joy: "Really? This is setting up a new business department specifically for my work and career? Brother-in-law, neither You must pamper me like this..."
Xiao Yu immediately rolled his eyes at her: "You are thinking too much. I would have done this business sooner or later without you. I had a development plan in this direction. You just happened to be lucky."
Single organ cloning technology not only has broad prospects, it can also greatly combat the underground illegal trade of organs. In order to obtain organ transplant donors, some powerful people will even do anything to set up traps and kill matching donors in order to live for a few more years. This is also an important reason why Xiao Yu decided to develop single organ cloning technology.
As for the core point, Xiao Yu knew that he could do it 100%. The Blue Star World already had very advanced and mature cloning technology. In the eyes of others, it was true that it had a bright future, but this technology It is also difficult to achieve, but there are no technical problems here with Xiao Yu.
Chu Jinmeng looked at Xiao Yu with a smile and said: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? If it is not established earlier, it will be established later. But you established it when I was not working. There must be my factors in it. I know that in the eyes of my brother-in-law, I Location is still important, right? ”
She was right. It was indeed because of Chu Jinmeng that Xiao Yu put bioengineering on the agenda at this time.
After a while, Xiao Yu tilted his head and glanced at her before retracting his gaze and said calmly: "Don't play with your brains in front of me. I don't have seniority here, and I can even let you lead the research of the project. That's no problem, but if you If you don’t do a good job, I’ll fire you anyway.”
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Xiao Yu didn't have many connections in the field of bioengineering, so he obviously took a fancy to Chu Jinmeng's connections in her field.
At this time, Xiao Yu immediately added: "Before you join the job, I will assign you a task. You must find a way to give me your capable and capable senior brothers and sisters, even your mentors and professors. Dig some here.”
When Chu Jinmeng heard this, he immediately agreed without thinking: "No problem, I'll take care of this matter, but brother-in-law, the premise is that you have to ensure that the research funds for the project are sufficient and the treatment is adequate. You can't compare with If your family is low, then I can definitely help you recruit a luxurious and top-notch team in the industry.”
"It seems that you are quite popular in your circle." Xiao Yu said with a smile. This is true. Chu Jinmeng must be good-looking, talented, and have a lively and agile personality. Where can such a person be popular? Not bad at all.
After a moment, Xiao Yu nodded cheerfully and said: "You just have to draw cakes for them. I will take care of everything for you. Funding and treatment have never been a problem for me."
