The Technology Tree of Xueba

March 10. Zhou Yu held a biology meeting of the Scientific and Technical Committee in response to the problems discovered by the astronauts.

Participating in the meeting were members of the Scientific and Technical Committee, Wang Xiaoxiao, director of the Gene Research Institute, and Tao Shengwen, director of the Cell Laboratory.

Neurology expert Chen Jin, Chinese medicine expert Qi Zheng, and internal medicine expert Zhao Tianyuan.

Zhou Yu first spoke: "When problems are discovered, they must be solved. We find that astronauts survive in space, and there will be many sub-health problems in half a year.

If you want to survive on other planets for a long time, you must strengthen the adaptability of the human body to the environment.

Our current technology can only choose to genetically modify the human body or perform cell transformation.

The method of genetic modification is to change human genetic material so that it can express certain proteins with special functions.

Cell transformation is to make the body cells stronger by quenching the cells to achieve the purpose of strengthening the adaptability of the human body. "

TCM expert Qi Zheng immediately objected with a clear-cut objection: "I strongly oppose the method of genetic modification, and we must not allow foreign genes to defile our human gene bank.

Some evil scientists have modified baby genes.

She was only altered by one genetic locus, and it all had terrible consequences.

This altered gene is likely to produce a new genetic disease that pollutes our entire human gene bank.

Genetic diseases such as hemophilia and albinism are genetic mutations at a certain locus. At that time, it may be just a person's gene that has been mutated.

It has spread this disease into a more widespread disease through human reproduction.

This is just a change of a genetic locus. Genetic modification of the human body will change thousands of genetic loci without knowing what terrible consequences.

It may even be because of our decision that the gene bank of the human population has undergone major changes directly, and it is not yet known what kind of terrible chain reactions have occurred. "

"One bottle is dissatisfied, and the other half is embarrassing. After reading a little popular science article, I thought I had the truth.

Such people are describing people like Dr. Xiang Qi. "Wang Xiaoxiao politely waited for Qi Zheng to finish speaking, and he immediately replied.

"It's like we use gene editing to solve the hemophilia that has plagued humans for years.

It is to modify the patient's gene to correct the defective part of the patient's gene, and use the intact gene to form the hematopoietic stem cell and retransport it into the patient's bone marrow.

This method can effectively cure hereditary diseases such as hemophilia.

But whether a child with hemophilia cured by this method has a change in the probability of its child suffering from hemophilia.

The answer I gave was no change, because we just changed the genes of the somatic cells, not the genes of the germ cells.

We are correct for this kind of genetic modification that has been proven to solve the disease. We have not modified germ cells, but chose to modify somatic cells.

We are cautious in using gene editing tools to prevent contamination of the entire human gene bank because of the self-righteous method that changes the balance of human genes.

To strengthen the adaptive genetic modification of the human body, it must be to transform normal human body cells, and we will never touch the taboo of human germ cells.

Our genetic research institute has been studying the ability of certain gene fragments to realize many protein structures with special functions.

I want to find some functional proteins that have a positive effect on the human body without causing side effects.

From a scientific perspective, it is still feasible. "

After Qi Zheng heard Wang Xiaoxiao's speech, he immediately apologized: "This is my mistake. I don't know at all. There are ways to genetically modify human cells without affecting the genetic material of future generations."

Chen Jin also agreed: "Somatic cell genetic modification is indeed a more feasible approach.

It can completely change the state of the human body through functional proteins expressed by special genes.

We can accept this level of genetic modification as long as it is determined that this protein will not cause side effects on the human body.

From birth, our bodies have been injected with a lot of heterologous proteins, most of which are various vaccines and antibodies.

Protein is also one of the drugs commonly used in medicine today, and people's acceptance of this kind of thing is still very high. "

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "After Director Wang Xiaoxiao's introduction, everyone has a high degree of acceptance of genetic modification.

Let ’s ask Director Tao Shengwen to introduce the basic ideas of cell transformation. Let ’s listen to another path that can be achieved. "

Tao Shengwen said with a serious expression: "Let me introduce the method of cell transformation.

We all know that people who exercise for a long time must be healthier than the otaku who stays at home for a long time.

This is his cells that have been tempered for a long time, and their data indicators are far beyond ordinary cells.

But human exercise has limits on the process of cell quenching.

Even if you start exercising from a young age, you will never practice a powerful martial art like a novel.

Modern martial arts is nothing but an exploration of the power-generating skills of the human body.

The strength of our human muscles is released reasonably, and it is easy to snap a small tree with the thickness of a bowl.

In addition to the upper limit of exercise training, human cells cannot make it so powerful.

Another important reason is that cells have a short life span.

It only takes more than 6 years for normal people to replace all cells except neurons.

It is the two important reasons for the upper limit of cell quenching and cell life that limit the self-remodeling of human cells.

After a long period of accumulation in our cell laboratory, we have now discovered that under the action of certain biological energy, cells can be repeatedly quenched.

After being quenched, the cells have higher strength and longer life. Newly differentiated cells can also be rapidly quenched, so that the fortified cells can be maintained continuously. "

After listening to the two scientists, Zhao Tianyuan said in surprise: "As long as there is no problem with the human body, these two methods are good choices, and I can't judge which one is better now."

Chen Jin whispered in Zhou Yu's ear: "Children make choices, of course we all need them."

Zhou Yu heard this sentence, and the clapper decided, "We don't know which method will succeed in the end ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~, we should go hand in hand, and don't give up both options.

Maybe one kind of scheme is successful in the end, or two kinds of schemes work together to produce the effect of one plus one greater than two. "

Wang Xiaoxiao asked arrogantly: "General Manager Zhou, if he wants to achieve genetic modification, it is extremely dangerous, and certainly cannot perform human experiments.

This is a modification of human genes, and animal experiments cannot be performed.

We must use human clones, it is the best experimental body.

However, the legal and public opinion risks are high. "

Tao Shengwen also supported: "We perform cell transformation, and the best experimental body is also human clone.

Human cloning is the best and irreplaceable subject in the field of human biological research. "

Zhou Yu was struggling. He saw the gesture of Chen Jin's eyes and immediately decided: "The clone is the company's responsibility. You should start the preliminary preparations for the experiment first, and the project funds will be allocated soon.
