China has always attached importance to face-saving projects, and buildings built for foreigners are usually called artifacts that can stand upright in earthquakes. Therefore, Henry handed over the construction of the hospital building to the Chinese construction company.

For Henry, the top priority is to speed up the recruitment and training of medical personnel.

Most hospitals in China are foreigners with white skin and blonde hair. Today, China is already very developed. There are actually many excellent nurses and doctors, but there is a lack of top doctors. However, the desire to train the best doctors is often related to the high-tech equipment of the local hospital. As the saying goes, a worker must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do his job well. How to conduct medical research without good equipment? Henry can create this condition.

Chinese people have been smart since ancient times. Henry is able to use the hospital to train more talents for himself, and then send them to the Gene Umbrella Company.

As there are more and more research projects on the gene umbrella, it is increasingly urgent to find more talents. An illiterate can only watch the sky from the bottom of the well, because in his eyes, the world is only this big; and the gene umbrella is like a scientist who learns to be rich. As he explores the mysteries of the universe, the more he feels that he is actually just touching To the tip of the mystery iceberg of the universe, not even the tip of the iceberg!

There is an animal on the earth called the "lighthouse jellyfish", which will return to the state of hydra type after sexual maturity, and this process can be repeated indefinitely, thus having the ability to rejuvenate, that is, immortality! At present, Gene Umbrella has a dedicated team to research it, hoping to crack its secret of immortality, and then apply it to humans!

Scientists have inferred that the secret of immortality of the lighthouse jellyfish is completed in the process of cell transdifferentiation. In this process, the types and functions of all the cells of the lighthouse jellyfish will change, and the transformation of this function will be accompanied by the regeneration of the organs. Perhaps it is this process of cell change that creates an immortal body for the "lighthouse jellyfish"!

Although I understand the secret of immortality of the "lighthouse jellyfish", why does all its cells reverse and differentiate? This is really hard to understand. As everyone knows, ordinary cells have no ability to replicate and differentiate. Only "stem cells" have the ability to replicate and differentiate. But how does the lighthouse jellyfish do it? Perhaps a certain gene of the lighthouse jellyfish has played a key role, so that the lighthouse jellyfish can have such a magical ability! As for what gene it is, it is still under study!

Here, I can't help but boldly put forward a hypothesis, what if humans also have this gene? So, can it also be like the "lighthouse jellyfish", rejuvenating and immortal? !

Everything is full of questions!

Although Gene Umbrella has encountered difficulties in the research of "lighthouse jellyfish", it has made great achievements in "stem cell" research!

Here, I have to ask again, what are stem cells?

Stem cells, also known as origin cells, are underdifferentiated and immature cells that have the potential to regenerate various tissues and organs and the human body. They are called "universal cells" in the medical world! ! ! Stem cells can be divided into totipotent stem cells, pluripotent stem cells and unipotent stem cells according to their developmental potential. Among them, pluripotent stem cells, also known as "embryonic stem cells", can transform any cell of the human body, in other words, can clone a complete person directly!

Every human body has stem cells, but pluripotent stem cells or "embryonic stem cells" can only exist when embryos are formed, and embryos are small lives that live in the mother's womb. The research on "embryonic stem cells" is full of doubts in the world. Calling it contrary to ethics and morality is killing lives!

Stem cells can proliferate and differentiate to form other cells. Therefore, scientists can differentiate into various possible cells and repair broken organs through targeted induction to solve many medical problems. However, in the view of Gene Umbrella, this technology is an entry level, and most countries in the world already have this ability, and even many animals have been cloned.

And what does the Gene Umbrella company want to study?

Cell reversal technology! ! !

Although Gene Umbrella does not know how the lighthouse jellyfish transforms all ordinary cells into stem cells, it undoubtedly points out the direction of research for Gene Umbrella, that is, ordinary cells can be reversed into stem cells! ! !

The root of human senescence is essentially the senescence and reduction of cells, and the senescence and reduction of cells are caused by the aging of stem cells. Stem cells cannot proliferate and differentiate after aging, so ordinary cells cannot be renewed normally, just like the extinction of rare animals, which ultimately leads to human senescence. Through this technology, Gene Umbrella can make ordinary cells in the human body "transform" into new stem cells, and then through proliferation and differentiation, let the tissues and organs of the body remain youthful forever!

As far as Henry knew, the Japanese "almost" touched the tip of the iceberg of this technology in 2006. They used retroviral vectors to transfer four genes into adult cells and recompiled mouse adult fibroblasts. As a result, these ordinary adult fibroblasts showed characteristics similar to embryonic stem cells and could achieve the function of proliferation and differentiation. As soon as the results of this research were released, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the scientific and technological circles, and was subsequently selected as one of the "Top Ten Scientific Breakthroughs of the Year" by the American "Science" magazine! At first, some people doubted this research and found it unbelievable. However, when researchers from other countries adopted the same method and obtained the same results, the controversy immediately subsided.

Under Henry's guidance, this research was completed before 2000, but it was not announced to the public. At that time, the researchers of Gene Umbrella saw that ordinary cells could really become stem cells~lightnovelpub.net~ It was like a chicken blood, and they were extremely excited. For a while, morale boosted, which accelerated the "cell reversal Technology" research!

Just this evening, when the sun was setting, Gene Umbrella suddenly called Henry.

"Mr. Williams, we have successfully used the'cell reversal technology' to synthesize human skin into skin stem cells!!!"

The voice on the other side of the phone was very excited. This is the first time that Gene Umbrella has transformed ordinary human cells into stem cells in more than two years!

Henry was still very calm, and said without hurriedness: "Very good, keep up the work! However, you must also know that we have only reversed a type of human stem cells, and there is still a long way to go in the future!" Although human stem cells Very few, but there is no clear number of their numbers and types so far. There is a long way to go!

"Yes! We understand!"

"Yep……"

Henry nodded, and suddenly thought that stem cells became popular in the beauty industry, becoming an anti-aging artifact and a favorite of the rich!

A professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong gave an interesting data about stem cells: a skin stem cell can differentiate into 100 generations and produce a total of 15 billion skin cells, which is enough to cover the skin of 10 adults. This is enough to prove how important stem cells are for skin regeneration and repair.

Henry couldn't help but a flash of inspiration. He opened a beauty salon and treated with stem cells, and he was sure to make a lot of money!
