The Technology Tree of Xueba
Chapter 241 Artificial Organs
In mid-June, Zhou Yu was reviewing the superconducting maglev locomotive project submitted by Liu Jing.
He received a report from Wang Xiaoxiao that the Institute of Genetics had successfully drawn a functional map of human genes, and had successfully cultivated artificial organs in vitro.
Zhou Yu heard that Wang Xiaoxiao and the others had cultivated artificial organs. After completing the project review, Zhou Yu rushed to the Genetic Research Institute immediately.
Artificial organs are so important that most of the causes of human death are organ failure.
Artificial organs can definitely solve more than 80% of fatal diseases.
Zhou Yu came to the laboratory and saw Wang Xiaoxiao leading a scientific research team to cultivate human tissues and organs.
In front of them are many soaked in different colored solutions in transparent glass bottles, and they slowly grow into the appearance of human organs.
Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, stomach, large and small intestines, pancreas, bones, muscles and other human organs.
Wang Xiaoxiao watched Zhou Yu staring at these organs under cultivation, and he introduced: We have deciphered the functions of most human genes through observation of human embryos, except for the ineffective genes that cannot be expressed and the genes that make up the brain.
The most important thing for us is to decipher the proliferation genes and differentiation genes of cells.
In this way, the proliferation rate and differentiation types of cells can be controlled, and human tissues and organs can be quickly obtained through in vitro culture.
With the exception of the human brain, we can make any tissue and organ that functions almost exactly like a normal organ.
The equipment for cultivating artificial organs is the embryo culture cabin, and we have produced totipotent stem cells through genetic technology.
Through genetic observation, find the conditions required for the differentiation of each organ, and cultivate usable organs by setting different environments in the embryo culture cabin.
The embryo culture cabin is a glass jar that can automatically adjust the temperature.
The most scientific and technological content is the culture medium in the embryo culture cabin, which is the key to determine what kind of organs the totipotent stem cells will form.
When Zhou Yu heard what Wang Xiaoxiao said, he knew that various organs could be fully cultivated here in the laboratory.
Do these organs still need to extract the patient's stem cells like healing spinal nerves?
Zhou Yu must understand this issue clearly, it is related to the scope of application of artificial organs and the speed of promotion.
Mr. Zhou, we have already figured out the function of human genes, so of course we will not choose such a stupid method.
We synthesized the DNA genetic data of tens of thousands of volunteers, and found the best genetic template for the Han nationality by eliminating individual genes.
There are two sets of genetic templates, male and female, that have modified cell surface proteins that trigger an attack by the human immune system.
The organs we will produce in the future will all belong to the public version of artificial organs, which can be transplanted by anyone and will not cause the body's own immune system to attack.
But only the Han people are 100% compatible with this set of genetic templates and will not cause any side effects.
I'm talking about conventional organ transplants, if it's the reproductive organs that make sperm and eggs, they have to use the transplanted person's genetic culture to continue to produce germ cells with his own genetic material.
Wang Xiaoxiao briefly introduced the performance of artificial organs to Zhou Yu.
In order to ensure that the production of artificial organs is convenient and the transplantation goes smoothly.
By analyzing the genes of the human immune system, find out how the human immune system recognizes foreign invaders, and create artificial organs that the human immune system ignores.
Every advanced technology has military applications, and this technology is no exception.
It can create artificial organs that the immune system of all humans ignores, and with slight modifications, it can create viruses that the immune system of specific people ignores.
This virus is a veritable genetic virus that specifically attacks specific races. If it does appear, its destructiveness will be worse than AIDS.
The human immune system can still compete with AIDS for a long time, and there is no solution to the emergence of this virus.
Zhou Yu praised: This is a good method, most types of organ transplants are heart, liver and kidney or lungs of old smokers.
There are very few people who need reproductive organ transplantation. It is convenient and quick for other people to use public organs. There are special groups of people who need special treatment.
Are artificial organ transplants convenient? Is it easy to store and transport?
When Wang Xiaoxiao heard these two questions from Zhou Yu, he immediately answered: Artificial organ transplantation is very convenient. In the past, organ transplantation required surgical suturing to connect blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves.
After the organ is transplanted into the human body, anti-immune rejection treatment is also required.
Our artificial organs have no immune rejection and are very convenient to transplant.
Ms. Chen Jin developed a bio-adhesive agent based on the experience of regenerating nerves with the help of our laboratory scientists.
It is a special cell with high-efficiency value-added. It has a good affinity with various cells in the human body and can bond bones, muscles, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves.
As long as the two pipes that need to be connected are placed with a bio-stent inside, and a bio-adhesive agent is applied to the external interface, after a few seconds, the two pipes will be glued together.
The operation time for one operation is only 30% of that of previous organ transplant operations, and the success rate is even higher.
We are now cultivating artificial organs in the laboratory. Because each artificial organ is different in size, the time it takes to generate it in the embryo culture cabin is different.
After growing up, the nutrients in the embryo culture chamber also support the survival of the artificial organ cells for a week.
Our artificial organs need to be customized in advance and transported to designated hospitals through logistics within a week.
Zhou Yu thought of Chen Jin sometimes working in the laboratory, thinking that she was just curious, but did not expect to actually produce some important results.
Artificial organ transplantation is convenient and fast, which is very conducive to the promotion of artificial organs. At the same time, it also allows patients to recover faster and suffer less postoperative pain.
The storage of artificial organs is also very convenient, and various types of artificial organs can be quickly provided according to the different patients in the hospital.
Director Wang Xiaoxiao, can our artificial organs be used for clinical trials? Zhou Yu asked expectantly.
He can already predict what kind of sensational effect the artificial organ will produce after it goes on the market.
Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head and said: Because the organs have a coordinating effect, for example, if a person's kidney is not good, it will cause male impotence and premature ejaculation, it will affect the function of the spleen, it will affect the function of the heart, and it will also cause insomnia, dreaminess and baldness. Phenomenon.
We still need to figure out the synergistic effects of these organs. Only when we figure out these problems can we carry out organ transplantation.
At present, only the eyes, skin, muscles, bones and other organs that are basically unaffected can be transplanted.
Zhou Yu said solemnly: It is really necessary to figure out these problems. The kidneys produced by our company cannot be transplanted, but people suddenly become impotent.
Transplanted a heart produced by our company, causing cerebral hemorrhage.
The safety of artificial organs must be guaranteed before they can be used in clinical trials, and patients cannot be treated like guinea pigs.
If there is no problem with the eyes and other organs, we will carry out eye transplantation work first. While promoting artificial organs, we will also allow blind people to see again.
