359 Regenerative medicine

I have opened a new book, and I am playing a live broadcast in the fairy world. Please help me collect it and give some recommendations! Thank you, all book friends!

*******************

Xiao Feng had a smile on his face and spoke very modestly, but He Fangzhou could feel that this young man was not as easy to deal with as he seemed.

He asked this now, obviously because he wanted to know what he could do under him. If he couldn't impress him next, it was hard to say whether he could stay.

Of course he was aware of his recent reputation, and Xiao Feng, who was opposite him, was obviously a little worried about this aspect, fearing that he would do something that would be frowned upon by the world.

"Mr. Xiao, you must have heard of 3D printing technology, right?"

"Well, I do know this."

In the past two years, all kinds of 3D printing were highly praised. At one time, many self-media boasted that this technology was the source of the fourth generation industrial revolution. However, in the past two years, it has died down.

The reason is very simple. This thing is currently very limited in its use, especially in printing metal materials. It is still far behind and not very practical.

"In the medical field, 3D printing technology has been very mature, and American counterparts have always been at the forefront of the industry. In recent years, the University of Illinois in the United States has used 3D printing technology many times to print human blood vessels, and

It has been transplanted into the human body. So this direction is actually very promising."

"But what does 3D printing technology have to do with our Yurong base fluid?"

Xiao Feng's face was full of curiosity, but He Fangzhou smiled slightly at this time, and then explained to Xiao Feng: "Actually, when I saw this Jade Rong Base Liquid, I had an idea..."

At this time, all the scientific researchers he brought with him sat upright because they all knew that their teacher liked to use his imagination the most, and every time he used his imagination, he could indeed bring some new ideas.

and ideas.

"As you know, I used to work in genetic medicine. In the field of genetic medicine in recent years, the most popular thing is stem cells. You know, stem cells are the original evolutionary origin of everyone..."

He Fangzhou began to explain to Xiao Feng that it turns out that the human body begins to develop from a fertilized egg, and the next step that the fertilized egg evolves is stem cells, and everyone develops from such simple stem cells.

The simplest cell can be said to be the source of all life. It can be ever-changing. For example, DNA is the steel skeleton, and stem cells are the raw materials for construction.

Under the framework woven by DNA, stem cells slowly replicated, derived, filled in, and finally developed into living people. This type of stem cells can be said to be the most basic raw material for human growth and development.

In recent years, the concept of stem cells has become very popular. Many medical experts believe that this kind of thing is an important direction for the future development of human medicine. With it, many diseases that are currently considered incurable can be treated.

For example, if many organs in the human body fail, they can be rebuilt using stem cells without rejection.

"...Many scientists are currently studying scientific research projects using stem cells to rebuild human organs, such as artificial hearts, artificial pancreas, artificial liver, etc. Every year, there are more and more deaths due to organ damage and failure around the world.

Millions of people suffer from the disease. If scientists make a breakthrough in this area, it will definitely be an epoch-making event..."

He Fangzhou talked incessantly in front of Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng listened very seriously. Although he didn't understand the general directions that He Fangzhou talked about, he understood the artificial organ projects he talked about.

Breakthrough, then human beings will not be far away from true immortality.

"Ahem...Mr. He, let alone those far away, if you join our ninth laboratory, which direction would you like to choose as a breakthrough?"

Seeing that He Fangzhou was still talking eloquently, Xiao Feng didn't have much time and continued to listen to his popular science, so he interrupted him and asked directly.

Ma De, at first, he and He Xiaojun just wanted to bring over the team behind He Fangzhou. Who would have thought that after this guy came, he obviously didn't want to leave?

It seems that the previous plan to arrange for him to raise mice in the pasture may have been ruined, but now that he has new ideas, Xiao Feng is still very happy.

Anyway, when the time comes, he will separate He Fangzhou and his scientific research team. The team will stay in the Ninth Laboratory and, under the leadership of He Xiaojun, will conduct scientific research in accordance with the original four directions.

As for He Fangzhou, just throw it over there in the pasture and let him play with it. He can do whatever he wants, and he can also help train some new people by the way, as long as nothing happens.

Xiao Feng already had his own thoughts in mind, so he didn't intend to continue to listen to He Fangzhou's deception. At this time, He Fangzhou rolled his eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, I want to use 3D printing technology, combined with Yurong base fluid and stem cell regeneration technology, to develop artificial organ regeneration technology. The first main focus is artificial hearts. Currently, many scientific research institutions in the world are studying this

, the United States was the first to conduct research and achieved the most results. Some people even developed an artificial heart last year. But their artificial heart still has defects..."

After hearing He Fangzhou's idea, Xiao Feng was really stunned. Artificial heart? It sounds very high-end? Seeing Xiao Feng's stunned expression and then his interested expression, He Fangzhou quickly continued.

"Mr. Xiao, there are currently more than one billion patients with heart disease in the world, and there are tens of millions of new heart disease patients every year. Some heart diseases can still be solved by bypassing bridges, installing pacemakers, and placing stents.

But there is one disease that cannot be treated, and that is heart failure. This disease is irreversible. The only treatment is heart replacement, and millions of patients around the world die of heart failure every year, waiting for heart replacement surgery.

There are hundreds of thousands of people, so this is a big market.”

He Fangzhou briefly introduced his purpose of making an artificial heart. Xiao Feng nodded after hearing it. It was okay. At least this guy was not the kind of lunatic who only considered scientific research and did not consider transformation.

If scientific research cannot make money, then investors will definitely have no motivation, and the market that He Fangzhou described to him is indeed promising. He knows that this guy is not lying, because China alone is currently suffering from the disease.

There are tens of millions of people suffering from heart disease.

“At present, Johnson & Johnson’s Texas R&D Center is the furthest along in terms of artificial hearts. They are studying the use of stem cells to create artificial hearts through 3D printing technology. Last year they successfully printed an artificial heart.

, but the biggest problem at present is that even if the printing is done, how can we make the heart have its own power? We all know that the human heart is equivalent to a water pump, constantly pumping and bleeding to complete the circulation of blood in the human body.

.Previously, artificial hearts manufactured by humans were all made of silicone and titanium alloys. A motor was installed outside the human body and driven by batteries to complete the heart's retraction and expansion movements and complete blood circulation..."

He Fangzhou began to educate Xiao Feng about the current research and development progress of artificial hearts around the world, and Xiao Feng also listened with interest. He wanted to know more about how He Fangzhou planned to use Yurong Base Liquid to develop artificial hearts.

"...The artificial heart printed using 3D technology and using human stem cells as raw materials can be said to be 90% similar to the naturally born heart of the human body. But why can't it be used on a large scale?

Application? The problem still arises in the beating of the heart. To put it bluntly, it is an artificial heart. It will not beat like the heart grown in our body. Why? It is because when printing, there is a lack of ligament material. To put it bluntly,

When manufacturing automobile engines, we can already create cylinders, but we can't find a crankshaft. Without a crankshaft, you can't transmit power? Ligaments, fascia, and other connective tissues are the key to making the heart beat.

How much blood is pumped within the range of each beat, how much blood is released, and how many times a minute beats. This is the most critical problem currently facing the artificial heart. Americans have not been able to find suitable materials to print the ligaments needed in the heart.

and fascial materials... And the collagen you discovered today, I think this is the key to solving this problem..."

Hearing He Fangzhou say this, Xiao Feng suddenly realized. He Xiaojun had previously taught him that collagen is a very important supplement for the human body. It is an important component of human muscles, ligaments, fascia, and connective tissue.

Part, or even an absolute part.

But he didn't expect that this thing would play such an important role in the field of artificial hearts.

"...So, as long as I can effectively combine 3D printing technology, stem cells, and this kind of collagen, I can make an artificial heart that is truly suitable for humans. In the future, it will not only be

Artificial hearts can also produce artificial lungs, artificial livers, and even if we want, we can change a person from head to toe. This jade base fluid can be said to be combined with stem cells to complete human regeneration.

Medicine, the most critical piece of the puzzle..."

Damn it, it has risen to such a high level? Has it already entered the field of regenerative medicine?

He Fangzhou said at the end that he was so excited that he seemed to be unable to see the golden avenue in front of him. Almost all the people present who knew biochemistry and medicine were so excited that they blushed and thickened their necks. Indeed, those stem cells and these collagen molecules are absolutely

They are the two golden keys to overcoming the problems of regenerative medicine!
