Xueba's technology tree

Chapter 208 The Secret of Blood
After Zhou Yu learned about the particle scalpel, he was about to leave the Institute of Life Sciences.

Wang Xiaoxiao immediately stopped Zhou Yu and said, "Mr. Zhou, our laboratory has accumulated a lot of scientific and technological achievements, and many of them can be formally transformed into products."

When Zhou Yu heard Wang Xiaoxiao call him to stop, he knew that they must have developed a valuable technology.

Wang Xiaoxiao set his sights on the research of stem cells and immune cells after he succeeded in researching AIDS treatment drugs. A long time has passed, and he should have achieved many results.

Zhou Yu also distributed the technology generated by the technology tree to Wang Xiaoxiao several times, and had many exchanges with him.

Wang Xiaoxiao is not stupid but also very smart. He should be able to develop several technologies related to hematopoietic stem cells.

"You have made progress in the two complicated projects of blood cells and immune cells." Zhou Yu looked at Wang Xiaoxiao and asked.

"I have discussed with Mr. Zhou several times, and there is already a direction for new technology research and development. After the efforts of all our scientific researchers, we have already achieved several very important results."

Wang Xiaoxiao said happily with a face full of joy of success.

Zhou Yu accepted Wang Xiaoxiao's invitation, and he got dressed and walked into the laboratory.

Wang Xiaoxiao took Zhou Yu to the blood laboratory, where there were many transparent glass jars.

The contents of them are either bright red or pale yellow, and there are dozens of different glass jars.

Wang Xiaoxiao introduced: "Mr. Zhou, we can already cultivate hematopoietic stem cells in vitro.

Expand the scale of hematopoietic stem cells through self-proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells.

Then chemical reagents are used to induce the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, which can differentiate into human red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

We have carefully analyzed the components of human plasma, and now we have been able to industrially produce artificial plasma that is 99.99% similar to human plasma.

The combination of these two products is artificial blood. "

"So we can produce artificial blood, has this product undergone clinical trials?" Zhou Yu asked excitedly.

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "Mr. Zhou, we have cooperated with the hospital in Yanjing to conduct artificial blood transfusion experiments for critically ill patients.

In addition to the conventional four types of blood, A, B, O, and AB, there are more than a dozen special detection types such as RH negative.

All types must be completely consistent in order to carry out mass transfusions between individuals.

Certain blood types are very rare, such as the famous panda blood, but there are even rarer blood types than panda blood. Only a dozen or so can appear in a city with millions of people.

There is no such rare blood type in the blood bank.

Once these people encounter ischemia, they can only wait for death slowly.

It is through the development of artificial blood of this rare blood type, through the patient's body, and long-term tracking of various indicators of her body, that the artificial blood is indeed effective.

We can quickly produce artificial blood of any size. "

"How about the yield, can you give blood to anyone?" Zhou Yu asked again.

"The laboratory output is very low, but if it is industrialized, its scale is only related to the scale of the factory, even if it is to produce the blood needed by everyone in the world, there is no problem.

For each blood type, we cultivate corresponding hematopoietic stem cells and develop corresponding artificial blood.

As long as the blood type is correct, anyone can receive artificial blood without any problems.

The metabolism time of artificial blood is also the same as that of normal blood, and it will not remain in the human body for a long time.

Artificial blood will not be mixed with various viruses, which is safer than donated blood. "

Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this.

Artificial blood can open up a huge market. Most cities in China are in a state of blood shortage. Not to mention rare blood types, even the most common type O blood will be scarce.

Of course, this is also related to the blood collection system. China tried paid donations in the past, but it created a black industrial chain of blood-headed blood slaves, and blood safety could not be guaranteed.

The current system relies entirely on voluntary blood donation, but the supporting system has not kept up, which greatly discourages the enthusiasm of voluntary donors.

When voluntary donors or relatives and friends use blood, they are subjected to all kinds of difficulties from the blood station, but a strange foreigner has a special green channel to supply blood. Anyone who encounters him will discourage his enthusiasm.

In addition to the imperfection of the system, there are many black sheep who have discredited the system.

The most hateful thing is the self-media who make up rumors for the sake of traffic. Donating blood is not harmful to the body.But how many people listened to the rumors and did not donate blood, leading to the phenomenon of blood shortage.

What's more abominable is that the black sheep in the system can do such stupid things as watering flowers with blood plasma.There is also unconditional licking and kneeling foreign adults.

The successful development of artificial blood will completely change the blood supply market, and institutions such as blood banks will also be eliminated by history.

"There is a 0.01% difference between artificial blood and real blood. Plasma components are very complex. Do you understand these complex components?"

Zhou Yu felt that Wang Xiaoxiao had something to explain, so he hurriedly asked.

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou discovered the problem right away, and we did find that it only accounts for 0.01% of human blood.

This ingredient is different for everyone, and it plays an important role in the body's own regulation, but it is not used at all in blood transfusions.

The main components of this ingredient are various pheromones, which are composed of many complex substances such as polypeptides and phospholipids.

For example, the pheromone produced by lymphatic T cells and the neurotransmitter used by nerve signals to transmit information are all types of pheromone.

It is not just the human body that is invaded by viruses that can produce pheromones.Different pheromones will be produced when the human body is in poor physical condition or suffers from a certain disease.

The essence of pheromone is the medium of communication between human cells.

The human body also adjusts the specific state of organs through the exchange of pheromones.

Changes in human endocrine, coordination between organs.They are all closely related to the information conveyed by pheromones. "

"I have also discovered some wonderful applications of pheromones through research."

Wang Xiaoxiao introduced the function of pheromone to Zhou Yu.

Changes in the cell state of the human body will produce corresponding pheromones.

As long as blood is drawn and the pheromone components in the plasma are detected, it is possible to quickly diagnose which virus the person is invaded by and whether the person suffers from certain diseases.

This is a quick way to detect diseases and can accurately measure whether humans suffer from certain diseases.

After the introduction, Wang Xiaoxiao sighed: "We only deciphered a small part of the pheromone in plasma. I think this pheromone contains very profound content, which is still waiting for us to continue to explore."

Zhou Yu sighed: "There are many mysteries of the human body. With the development of science and technology, most of the questions can be answered for us. The unexplainable problems are just that the technology has not developed to this level.

Are these artificial blood?I see products that don't look like blood components at all. "

"Mr. Zhou, all blood components are counted here, but only red blood cells, platelets, and plasma are counted as conventional artificial blood.

Most of them are the weapons we use to treat diseases - cell missiles. "Wang Xiaoxiao replied proudly.
