v15 Chapter 52: academic seminar

Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo Prince Hotel.

When Lin Xiuyi walked into the lobby of the hotel with a pair of glasses uncharacteristically, he looked up and saw the sign standing at the door.

sTaR cell regeneration retinal technology seminar!

Just as Lin Xiu nodded to check the specific location of the venue, other guests walked in in the hall. At this time, most of the people seemed to be talking about topics related to retina regeneration.

"It seems to be here. I didn't expect the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Imperial College to announce this technology so soon."

"Yeah, it's really an exciting technology! When I think that human organs can be mass-produced from the laboratory in the future, I think that maybe one day human lifespan can become immortal."

"However, isn't the breakthrough now only in the treatment of eye diseases?"

"Well, having said that, but the truth is the same, since sTaR cells can differentiate into retinal tissue, then... they can also differentiate into cells such as cardiac muscle tissue, pancreatic tissue, and even the cultivation of complete organs. It's not impossible! The future of this technology is really exciting!"

...

Lin Xiuyi followed the crowd silently and walked towards the location of the venue. Along the way, most of the participants had such an optimistic attitude, but Lin Xiuyi could only do what they were talking about. To a half-knowing.

"Lin Xiuyi has a deep understanding of what it means to be interlaced like a mountain!"

Lin Xiuyi's investigation had to be suspended since his colleagues from the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Office took away all the relevant information about the Asari Yangnan case last time. However, if there are only obstacles of this level, it seems that it cannot stop Lin Xiuyi's investigation. Just a few days ago, the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Tedo University, together with Sumitomo Pharmaceutical and Seongnam General Hospital, announced the news of an upcoming global retinal transplant operation. As soon as the news came out, sTaR cells once again became the focus of media and public debate.

In order to ensure the success of this operation, Teito University and Sumitomo Pharmaceutical specially hired Eisaku Saito, one of Japan's leading ophthalmic surgeons, as the main surgeon for this operation, and the retina used for transplantation was completely made of saTR cells in the laboratory. Artificial organs grown in the environment. The significance of this operation is that humans can finally use the technology of regenerative medicine to apply artificially cultivated tissue in the field of clinical medicine. If this operation is successful, it will open a whole new door for modern medicine.

"I'm sorry, please show the invitation cards in your hands before entering the venue. Friends from the media, please wait for a while at the next venue. After the seminar here, Professor Jialai will personally explain sTaR to everyone. related to cell research.”

Just as Lin Xiuyi followed the crowd to the door of the venue, several staff members in uniform were guiding the guests to the corresponding seats while checking the invitation cards of the guests. This made Lin Xiuyi a little worried. You know, he came uninvited!

Seeing that several reporters who were trying to get in were politely blocked from the outside, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but slow down his pace a bit, then started to turn his head, thinking about how to get in for a while.

"Please let it go, I'm sorry, please let it go!"

Lin Xiu, who was waiting quietly to enter the arena, had an idea, took out a few pieces of paper from his briefcase and folded them in half, and then suddenly dodged in the crowd and walked forward.

"Excuse me, this guest, may I ask your invitation card..."

When Lin Xiuyi came to the door, he was blocked by the staff at the scene.

"Ah, I'm so sorry! I'm a subordinate of Ms. Tokunaga of Sumitomo Pharmaceutical. Just now Ms. Tokunaga forgot some important documents in the car. I have to send them to her quickly."

"Eh? Are you a staff member of Sumitomo Pharmaceutical?"

"Hi!"

"But why didn't I see your badge?"

"Ah... I'm so sorry, I must have fallen in the car. It's really unfortunate, if I go to get it again, I will definitely be scolded..."

Lin Xiuyi pretended to be annoyed, and then his eyes drifted into the venue. At this moment, he happened to see Qiaozuo Xinyi passing by the door, so he anxiously explained to the staff:

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the gentleman over there. He is Hashizu Shinichi from the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Imperial University! Hashizu-kun!"

"Ah, you know that gentleman! Then please come in!"

Perhaps it was Lin Xiuyi's anxious look that really convinced the other party to believe his words, and the staff at the door still let him in. So, after Lin Xiuyi refused to lead the way, he finally walked into the venue smoothly. As soon as he entered the door, he first looked around at the venue, and then sat down in a seat without a name tag, quietly waiting for the meeting to start.

20 minutes passed, and seeing that the guests in the venue had almost arrived, an elegant lady in business attire suddenly stood up, walked to the stage step by step, and then gave a deep message to everyone present. bowed.

"Thank you to all scholars and experts for attending our seminar today. Next is Shiori Tokunaga of Sumitomo Pharma. I am very pleased to be able to host today's meeting on behalf of Sumitomo Pharma and the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Teito University..."

"Perhaps many of you here have heard that as early as ten years ago, when Professor Hideki Kalai was still studying for his doctorate at Harvard University, he accidentally discovered that the combination of transcription factors using viruses as vectors would produce A cell with strong differentiation ability, this is the sTaR cell known to all of us here. Since then, the research team led by Professor Hideki Kalai has been working on the research of sTaR cells..."

"From the first ten years ago to use sTaR cells to create mouse retinal tissue in the laboratory, to today's application of retinal regeneration technology to the clinical field. The academic community's exploration of sTaR cells has never stopped..."

...

Hearing Shiori Tokunaga mention the experiment ten years ago, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but whispered in surprise:

"Could it be that the success was achieved ten years ago, but it was actually only tested on mice?"

...

"Well~lightnovelpub.net~ is indeed the case, but...this is already a great achievement!"

Just when Lin Xiuyi finished his words, an unknown gentleman beside him enthusiastically took his words and explained in a low voice.

"Ah... I'm so sorry, did I disturb you just now?"

As soon as Lin Xiu saw the other party looking at him, he nodded to the other party with embarrassment and said.

"It's okay, I've heard this experience at least a hundred times. Let me know. Next is Nakakuma-tsu from Kagoshima University's Faculty of Medicine. May I ask where you studied in high school?"
