Chapter 562 The only way forward for life science is genetic modification
There are many military tactics, and one blow will make one's energy worse and one's exhaustion will be exhausted.
The same is true for the Western refugee wave. The first wave of refugees came in a fierce and violent way. When this wave of strong attack ended, the West spent a lot of manpower and material resources to reduce the popularity of the refugee wave, the time had already reached late August.
At this moment, Xingchen Technology, which had been silent for more than a month, suddenly issued an announcement that it would show its metabolic control technology to the world on August 25, which attracted the attention of the whole world for a while.
“Beautiful job!”
"Go on the expedition! Go on the expedition! Fighting against Lengquan Port! For more than a month, I have had enough of the sarcasm of the West!"
In this way, the world is lively. After a long time of work, it turns out that Lengquan Port Laboratory is not unique. Xingchen Technology has caught up. The Chinese people are extremely excited. At the same time, they also have great enthusiasm and curiosity about what technical route Star Technology adopts.
Although he was mentally prepared, when Luo Jia arrived at the Hudu Sports Center, he was still shocked by the crowds outside. The people were very enthusiastic. Although most of them did not have invitation letters, they still came to the scene. More than 100,000 people gathered outside the stadium and shouted inspiring slogans.
"After all, it's life science." An Ran shrugged and joked: "No black technology can be compared with life. Only when people are alive is the most important. Believe me, if the genetic channel technology is successful, the people will set up tablets for you in the people, and burn incense and bow to you every holiday."
"Bah! How can living people set up tablets?" Luo Jia curled her lips, "Thank you, Ji Yan, but as a believer in the Science Church, I am not interested in ghosts and gods. If you like it, I don't mind setting a tablet for you."
"Bastard, you treat my kindness as a donkey as a donkey." An Ran said.
"You bastard have a good intention, but your heart is almost the same." Luo Jia said.
Xu Chunbiao, who was responsible for driving, couldn't help laughing. Luo Jia and An Ran were called chess matches, and they appreciated each other. The relationship had long exceeded the boss and employees and reached the peak of friendship. The so-called relationship that the general could deliver the back of the other party on the battlefield was probably the same.
A moment later, Luo Jia appeared in the backstage on time. Although the Wen brothers were the heads of the Life Science Department, they insisted on not going on stage to give a speech. Luo Jia had no choice but to go on stage. Fortunately, everyone liked to listen to Luo Jia's speech. Many times, the people listened to Luo Jia's speech as stand-up crosstalk.
Hurry ~
As soon as Luo Jia appeared, the spotlight shone on his head, and warm cheers immediately came from the audience, with fierce sounds, far more fierce than before.
"Scammer! Thieves! Xingchen Technology will definitely follow the example of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and pirated fullerene technology!"
"The first person to eat crabs is called the founder. When you see others eating crabs and you also have scholars to eat them, you are shameless!"
Western audiences sent out barrage. They thought with limited brain capacity. They never thought that Star Technology would make a knife towards the origin of the gene. They thought that they would only use fullerenes to remove free radicals like Lengquan Port and follow the technical route of Lengquan Port Laboratory.
"Bad! Fullerene technology has not been applied for a patent, why can't Xingchen Technology be used?"
"That's right, it's a practice in the scientific community that major black technologies do not apply for patents. Xingchen Technology has more scientific and technological achievements that have not applied for patents. If you have the ability, you can copy them, and no one will stop you."
"Fullerene was invented by scientist Harold in 1985. Cold Spring Harbor was just purified and optimized based on this invention to achieve the effect of entering the human body to remove free radicals. Since it is all innovative research based on other people's inventions, why can you do it, but we can't do it?"
Chinese netizens were quickly brought to the wrong angle. It was really unwise to put the arguments on patent ownership, but there was no way, because the confidentiality work was done too well, and Chinese netizens didn't know that Xingchen Technology was going to use a knife to genes.
Luo Jia stood on the stage with a smile as usual on her face. She looked around and said lightly: "Sorry, I've been waiting for everyone."
"In this world, there are two forces that can transform humans. One is external force. For example, the Forbidden City consists of 9,999 and a half houses, and that half of the house is the legendary eunuch's body clean room. A man goes in and half a man comes out, his hand rises and his knife falls, and the transformation is completed, simple and crude."
After the words came, laughter came from the audience. This was also the characteristic of Luo Jia's appearance every time. It was not serious and interesting. The speakers smiled and the listeners were relaxed and comfortable. In two hours of a press conference, no one would feel tired, and he felt that he was still unsatisfied.
"The second kind of power is called genes. For example, there is a gene called FTO, Fat mass and obesity associated. Research shows that the FTO gene is related to satiety and is also called the obesity gene."
"All people with mutations in the FTO gene have one common characteristic, that is, they have eaten a lot, but they just feel a little hungry. So when they lack fullness, they eat food that is far more than they consume and eventually become fat."
"A considerable number of people, whenever they hear a gene mutation, they often think of it very seriously, and their minds are full of aliens and zombies. But this is not the case. Gene mutations are very common. I can say responsibly that there are more or less gene mutations in each of us."
"Take the FTO gene as an example, it has three main mutation forms that can lead to loss of satiety, namely the codenames RS1421085, RS1121980 and RS17817449. Anyone carrying these three mutation genes is a potential obese group."
"So the question is, what are the carriers of the three major obesity gene mutations?"
"Sixty-five-six percent, that is, if humans don't have any surprises, two-thirds of people will be troubled by the problem of obesity. In this world, obesity is a common phenomenon. If you have a thin girlfriend or boyfriend, then cherish it carefully, because thin people are scarce resources, and fat is the main theme. In the past, people were thinner, not because they were genetic, but because they couldn't eat enough."
"As we all know, losing weight is difficult because it is necessary to fight against nature. However, we can easily control our appetite and then control our body shape by modifying the FTO gene."
"Now the problem is that you can control your body through genetic technology, so what about life?"
"Of course, it is also possible. By regulating the MTOR gene channel, controlling or even cutting off the release of aging signals, this technology has largely surpassed our vision of life continuation, namely metabolic adjustment."
"MTOR gene channel technology is a typical gene control, and the delay and decline of metabolism are just a side effect of gene control..."
Luo Jia talked happily and showed the gene channel technology of Xingchen Technology to the world in a plain tone. Everyone was surprised to find that Xingchen Technology's plan was to directly modify the genes by utilizing the lowest level.
Not to mention the gene problem is easy to cause controversy. How to make ordinary people understand complex genetic technology is extremely difficult. Only after everyone understands the technical principles can they make screening right and wrong. Unlike now, when several big Vs say that, students regard genetic technology as a disaster, but forget that in this world, if life sciences want to make progress, the only way is to put a knife on the genes.
Luo Jia's speech achieved this goal well for ordinary people to understand. His method is not complicated, that is, to give more examples that ordinary people can understand, from the difference between fat and thin people, to the legend of vampires.
Modern genetic research shows that the so-called vampires actually suffer from a rare genetic defect disease. Porphyria and porphyria are a blood disease. It has several types, but all porphyria have a common pathological mechanism, namely heme synthesis disorder.
Therefore, patients with porphyria have two distinct characteristics: anemia and photophobia. When the sun activates excessive accumulation of porphyrin substances in the skin, it will cause the patient's skin to blister, ulcer and unbearable pain. Even on cloudy days, the dose of ultraviolet rays is enough to destroy their skin. Therefore, patients with porphyria can only appear outdoors at night.
Currently, the method to relieve porphyrin symptoms is blood transfusion. Blood transfusion itself can relieve anemia and can also bring additional heme, which can to a certain extent inhibit the endogenous heme synthesis pathway, thereby reducing the accumulation of porphyrin substances.
Interestingly, heme can be absorbed through the intestines, so theoretically speaking, blood sucking can really effectively relieve porphyrin symptoms. After sucking blood, patients will feel comfortable all over. Some patients may not take risks and suck human blood because of unbearable pain. Therefore, there are legends of vampires in this world.
The reason why Luo Jia talked about this is not to attract attention, but to try her best to instill a concept into everyone, that the genes of human beings and the genes of each of us are actually flawed.
As the saying goes, humans are not perfect, but where is humans imperfect, or what causes imperfection?
Very simple, genetic defect.
Even if you are not troubled by obesity, you may also be lactose intolerance. Drinking two more sips of milk will cause stomachache. Otherwise, you will have thin hair and will not escape the misfortune of middle-aged people.
Don’t think that genetic technology has nothing to do with you. The rate of human gene defects is 100%. If your genetic defect is a topshot, it is ugly, but it will not endanger your life. It is lucky. But how should those who are prone to cancer in genetic inheritance?
Assuming that the one with cancer gene defect is your child or parents, can you accept it?
"Science has always been risks." Luo Jia said frankly: "But the road ahead is clear. If life sciences want to develop, they must move towards genetic transformation. Only genetic technology can improve human lifespan and quality of life."
"As a person, you must learn to think and take risks in life, and not be brought to the rhythm by those deliberate public intellectuals."
"In the past, there was a host who was known as a generation of talented women, named Chai Jing. With the support of North America, she filmed a documentary, under the dome, denounced the pollution problem in China."
"Actually, I hate pollution. No one doesn't like green mountains and clear waters. But in the documentary, she proposed to open up the national energy market and let international energy giants come in. This is more heartbreaking. Energy security and the lifeline of the country are put to the West to control, which will cost a terrible price."
"At first I didn't understand, what's wrong with Chai Jing?"
"Later, through two things, I realized that first, her son is North American, and second, she kept pushing China Environmental Protection, but after North America claimed to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, she did not say a word. After all, she was also the one who decided her head."
"Anyway, there are many so-called experts and public experts in this world who claim that they cannot use a knife to the gene, but we still move because we know that there is only one way forward. Between back and forward, we have no reason to choose to backward."
"Not long ago, Lengquan Harbor Laboratory used fullerene technology to clean up the biggest disaster in the human body, free radicals, and achieve the effect of slowing down metabolism and prolonging life."
"And we directly control the gene channel. In the past, the body issued orders to the gene channel, and we will control it in the future."
"Extending lifespan is only the first step. We also want to solve the problem of obesity and reduce the probability of various diseases. Although the current immune activation technology can overcome most diseases, the over-excited immune system always contains risks. Through genetic modification, diseases can be fundamentally reduced, rather than using powerful means to treat them after the disease occurs."
Chapter completed!
