Chapter 394 Cells
"why is that?"
Su Yuan asked conditioned reflexively, then reacted and said in surprise: "Is the culture medium that incubates solid energy also has the effect of stimulating cell growth?"
"I thought so the same as you at the beginning, but I used other cells for cultivation and did not see crazy growth. On the contrary, those cells seemed to encounter natural enemies in the contaminated area, either died immediately and dissolved automatically or grew extremely difficult, and the entire growth process was suppressed."
"how so?"
"Later I thought about it. Maybe your cells are special. For other animal cells, they are like poison, but for your cells, they are like falling into a honeypot." Xia Linfei looked at Su Yuan and said his guess.
"Maybe it was because of the transformation..." Su Yuan said not very sure.
Xia Linfei nodded and said, "Through several cultures, I found that not all cells in the blood sample can grow, and the culture medium is also selective to stimulate them. Through one growth and the other, I gradually obtained a large number of cell tissues that originally accounted for a very small proportion..."
"Through testing, I found that these cell tissues are very dynamic stem cells, and they are not ordinary stem cells, but all-powerful stem cells!"
"Almighty stem cell?" Su Yuan said in surprise. At this time, her expression was like seeing a ghost, and she looked horrified.
Generally speaking, the main cells in human blood include red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, etc. Generally, there are no hematopoietic stem cells. However, with the development of technology, stem cells in the bone marrow can be mobilized into the blood through some means. Therefore, hematopoietic stem cells can be obtained by directly extracting peripheral blood. This method can greatly alleviate the burden on stem cell donors.
Stem cells are cells that have multiple potentials that can differentiate into various functional cells. Their directions are multidirectional, such as the most common hematopoietic stem cells, which can differentiate into red blood cells, white blood cells, etc. Stem cells are divided into several types, including full-function stem cells, multifunctional stem cells, and monoenic stem cells.
As the name suggests, these fully functional stem cells can be differentiated into various cells in the body. In layman's terms, as long as there is a fully functional stem cell and given appropriate conditions, it can spontaneously grow into a complete individual! However, the existence cycle of fully functional stem cells is extremely short. Generally, from the beginning of the fertilized egg to before it divides into 32 embryonic cells, these cells are fully functional cells, and then some of the functions are blocked and become multifunctional stem cells.
The cell tissue cultured from Su Yuan’s blood sample turned out to be fully functional stem cells. Isn’t this a hell?
If these stem cells are obtained by those who are interested, wouldn’t they be able to cultivate countless “Suyuan”?
After all, full-function stem cells themselves are not much different from fertilized eggs. Isn’t the so-called identical twins, after the fertilized egg splits into full-function stem cells, these stem cells are accidentally divided into two, and then form two independent individuals?
So Su Yuan's expression suddenly changed. Looking at the cell tissue that Xia Linfei took out from the animal cell incubator, she seemed to see countless self-written "squirming", and the urge to burn them out in her heart.
"That. Why are you training them for..." Jade stuttered and Su Yuan said with a bad look. These things should be disposed of even if they are dealt with!
Xia Linfei saw the discomfort in Su Yuan's heart at a glance and said with a smile: "At that time, I wanted to extract some cells from your blood sample for cultivation, so that it can be used as a research material after amplification, but I didn't expect that ordinary culture media could not proliferate cells at all, and the cultured stem cells after being contaminated by the culture medium are all full-function stem cells. I was also in a dilemma!"
"But you don't have to worry. Although these stem cells are all full-functional, they seem to have a periodicity, just like the one-yuan coin-sized cell tissue in front of you. Every time you get so big, the cells spontaneously enter the abortion phase and can never grow again."
"That is to say..." Su Yuan said in surprise.
"That is to say, these fully functional stem cells are completely useless! They are tasteless and a pity to discard them! There is no real value at all." Xia Linfei spread his hands and answered.
Su Yuan suddenly became happy after listening to it. This was so lucky. These cultured stem cells seemed to have special needs for the culture medium. They could not survive without the culture medium. Even if there was the culture medium, it also created a survival limit and a realistic problem of periodic swing.
Doesn’t this mean that even if you see full-function stem cells, you can’t use them? Because the existence of the culture medium can only maintain the existence of stem cells at most, and once you leave the culture medium, the cells will die. What’s the use of stem cells that can only be seen even if they are full-function?
...
...
Xia Linfei was actually secretly cultivating her own cells, which Su Yuan had never expected in advance. However, thinking that she came from the future and she happened to transform, Xia Linfei's motive is understandable. Moreover, she also figured out one thing - Xia Linfei's research has encountered a bottleneck, and most of the time it can't continue.
So what kind of experiment did the ancient man do, his laboratory that was already submerged under the reservoir?
In order to determine this, Su Yuan was in a try-and-see mood. He knew that the hope was slim, but he still drove to the countryside. Before that, she attended the funeral of the ancient man with Su Caiwei and others, which was not solemn but solemn. He learned the general location of the laboratory from the Gu family, and then drove away with Xia Linfei.
The ancient man's home is located in a place called Panao in the rural area of Haizhou City. Suyuan once visited that place. It is a place surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. The deepest impression it left on Suyuan is a rushing river, like thousands of horses galloping, pouring down from the high cracks of stones. When it reaches the flat point, it is a very wide and clear river.
During the Spring Festival, the mountain was filled with colorful purples, green branches, warm sunshine, and moist land, which made people intoxicated. But now there was nothing left. When Suyuan drove to Panao, a white dam appeared in front of him, which looked quite beautiful from a distance.
The dam is indeed already storing water. Although it is only half the water level of the reservoir, the endless lake surface can be vaguely seen. Where it is intersected with the mountains, there are even many green trees soaked in the reservoir.
"It seems that the entire Panao has been flooded..." Xia Linfei took out his mobile phone and took a look. The road in front of him had originally penetrated deep into Panao, but now it has been blocked by the high dam body.
Su Yuan nodded in the gentle wind and looked at the lake. She said, "It seems that the ancient man's laboratory is going to be completely buried under the water. God won't let us see it."
Charlene nodded silently.
Su Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly turned around and said, "Since this way, we won't move forward. By the way, my grandparents are in the next town. Do you want to go to my grandparents' place to see?" Although he had only been back not long ago, since they were all right next to him, Su Yuan wanted to go back with Xia Linfei to see the two old people.
Xia Linfei naturally had no objection, so the two got into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove along the winding mountain road towards the next town.
When Su Yuan came to his yard, it was already noon. There was smoke from the cooking stoves in the countryside. You could smell the smoke and dust after the firewood was burned and the fragrance of the foods in the countryside. Although there were gas stoves for cooking in rural areas, natural firewood was also an important energy source.
After parked the car, Su Yuan and Xia Linyi kicked the door. When two beauties came to the village, there were no people around him. But everyone knew that this was the daughter of the Su family and her friends, so naturally they didn't seem to be blatant as if they saw strangers. Only a few subtle whispers came to Su Yuan's ears.
Su Yuan had a faint smile on his face and ignored it. Now she can deal with these situations very skillfully. He let him be strong, and the breeze blows on the hills!
Suddenly, two more mouthfuls were added, and my grandparents were obviously not prepared enough, so in the end they had to work hard to prepare two bowls of noodles for them.
