Chapter 205 Hematopoietic Stem Cell Cultivation Technology

  The female version of Jobs fell, along with her company valued at more than 60 billion and her own worth of 27 billion.

  Although Umbrella kicked off the hammering and the powerful performance of the "Red Queen" was reflected, when all those who were hammered in front fell down, many people expected Elizabeth Holmes to fall too.

   But when this moment came, the issues about academia were completely reported.

  I thought it was a noble place, a piece of pure land, but now I find that it is also a piece of chicken feathers!

  How much capital relies on academic platforms to make profits, and how much capital relies on academic circles to achieve their goals?

   This is unknown!

   But judging from the few people who were beaten out, this must be a lot!

  Take the most successful Elizabeth Holmes as an example, a company with a valuation of 60 billion!

   Is there anything else that hasn't been discovered yet?

  Will someone rely on their advantages in academia to post some advantages and disadvantages of oil and wine to guide?

   Or go deep into various items in life!

  At this time, "Nature" was the first top journal to stand up, publicly saying

   "We can try to accept the 'Red Queen' to conduct the initial review, but it will take a transition period. If Umbrella is willing to open the interface, we are willing to try to take half of the submissions to the 'Red Queen', and we will be responsible for half of it manually."

   A moderate choice.

   Now that the limelight has become so hot, if they don't express any more, it may cause even bigger troubles!

  After all, no matter whether it is the previous academic discrimination or the later academic fraud, this is indeed a scandal created by them.

  Especially after the explosion of Elizabeth Holmes, it caused a lot of condemnation. Those capitals who lost money because of investment all pointed their fingers at them, and they were the ones who failed to check!

   So much money wasted!

  After having the lead and the template, many top academic journals gradually made the same choice, even domestic journals!

  Because this kind of hidden problem will appear in academia no matter at home or abroad, it is definitely a good thing if it can be eliminated.

   In this regard, the 'Red Queen' came into contact with the first business, which can be regarded as a public welfare business, review!

  With this convenience, Wang Yi can be considered to be able to get the latest research papers as soon as possible.

   Well, since he designed the 'Red Queen', Lin Shiqin can take over at any time, or even temporarily replace it. It can almost be regarded as Lin Shiqin's electronic subroutine.

It wasn't until the major journals caught up with the pace, and even saw that the East followed suit, that many netizens in the West stopped in satisfaction, and each of them looked like a victorious general, returning home with trophies, hanging On the second-hand trading network.

  What horrified domestic netizens was that the chunky Mexican Lida who announced that she would participate in the beauty pageant actually signed up for the beauty pageant, and passed the primary election with far more votes than everyone behind her.

  Although she has just passed the primary election, judging by her vote rate, there is a high probability that she will be the champion.

   "No way! How about winning the beauty pageant?"

   "I support this aunt who hates people, but the beauty pageant..., 'panic'"

   "What kind of magical magic is this? Is there a problem with my aesthetics? There is such a big gap between the East and the West?"

   "I finally know why they think squinting looks good."

   "Don't have stereotypes, find inner beauty, terrible."

   And just when the wind here calmed down a little bit, they were still immersed in the aftermath of the incident on the Internet, and were waiting for Umbrella to commercialize the function of "Red Queen".

  Umbrella made a high-profile announcement on the official website of a newest result they discovered, a result that was mentioned when they were fighting with Piero's laboratory before, to bring this academic action to an end.

"Umbrella hereby announces that we have made a major breakthrough in the in vitro culture of hematopoietic stem cells. It takes less than a month to cultivate enough hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation. We will increase the external supply of culture media. Hospitals that meet the surgical qualifications can apply to the company for quotas."

  Actually, Piero also said before that, with the help of Umbrella's medium, the cultivation process and purification process can be accelerated.

   But obviously, what he can do, several experimental teams invited by Umbrella have already put this project into practice!

   Now officially announced!

   There are 4 million leukemia patients in China alone, and the number is increasing by 40,000 every year!

   Some leukemias can be controlled by medication, such as the plot in "The God of Medicine", but hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only life-saving method for some acute leukemia patients!

  Not to mention the difficulty in matching hematopoietic stem cells, there are very few people who are willing to donate. In this case, the lucky patients who can receive transplants are actually limited, and the number of transplants per year is about 10,000.

   Among these patients, only about 60% can succeed in the end!

  The most difficult part of this process is the early chemotherapy and the "myeloablation" of the patient's bone marrow, as well as the later immune rejection.

  Immune rejection complications are a major problem in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, even if the matching is successful.

  Now Umbrella directly uses the patient's own healthy hematopoietic stem cells to cultivate and implant them. The success rate of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can reach more than 90%!

It’s just that the previous autologous stem cell transplants were usually aimed at some other tumors. First, the patient’s stem cells were extracted, followed by chemotherapy, and then returned to implant the patient’s own stem cells. These stem cells may also be mixed with tumor cells. A way to prolong lifespan.

  But Umbrella's technology is different. After extracting the patient's stem cells, you only need to find one effective stem cell to start cultivating!

  And because of the magic property of the medium itself, the cultured stem cells may be healthier.

  When Umbrella made the official announcement and sent it directly to Nature for submission through the 'Red Queen', it immediately caused an uproar.

  Your Umbrella company is going to heaven?

   Kill crazy!

   Umbrella's contribution is naturally reciprocated, after all, this is the first top journal to publicly support the 'Red Queen'.

  One stone stirs up waves.

  Whether it is hydrazine or vaccination, although many people have benefited, it is not really "imminent" because most people don't really care about it.

  Although the hepatitis B-specific immunoglobulin behind is a breakthrough in the virus and has a milestone significance, hepatitis B can also be effectively controlled after combined medication before it is available!

   It is not a fatal disease like leukemia.

  But once it succeeds this time, once it becomes popular, it will be a real 'life-saving'!

Of course, in addition to the culture medium, this cultivation process also needs to find effective cells from the patient and spend time cultivating them. The cost and expense in essence are much higher than the previous hepatitis B specific immunoglobulin 710 course of treatment. .

  Although the cost of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is much cheaper than that of allogeneic stem cells, and the follow-up cost is also lower, it still costs about 100,000 yuan. In addition to the cost of cultivation itself, the overall price is still not cheap.

   But at least this gave a life-saving channel, no need to wait for a match! Donors are waiting!

  This is a technology that can save lives immediately!

  And Umbrella actually said that hospitals that are qualified to perform surgery can apply for culture medium quotas, and can also arrange personnel to come to learn the training process. This move has really aroused everyone's praise.

  Even if Umbrella ultimately wants to sell the culture medium to make money, and the price of the culture medium is not cheap, at least this kind of behavior can win the favor of most people.

  The only ones who are hostile are probably some institutions that are researching targeted drugs for leukemia...

  ——

   The third shift is over! Follow up!
