"Hahaha... I didn't expect you to disguise yourself as a researcher and sneak into the research meeting of the Institute of Physics and Chemistry at Imperial University!"

In the evening, Lin Xiuyi and Zhong Xiongtong were sitting in a small izakaya, drinking beer and talking about interesting things that happened during the day.

"Sigh...this matter...it's really hard to say! If I said it, I just ran away because I had doubts about the death of Professor Kalai Hideki's student and assistant, Yoshio Asari. I went to the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Imperial College to investigate. But... Since Asari Yangan's suicide note only explained things related to work, I suspect that nine out of ten this suicide note is actually a forgery. The person who sealed the suicide note is probably because he doesn't know much about Qianli Yangnan's family situation, so he deliberately avoided this content..."

"So... do you think that someone inside the institute killed Mr. Asari?"

"Yes, but... I think Ms. Shiori Tokunaga of Sumitomo Pharmaceutical is also very likely involved."

"Tru... Miss Tokunaga? She's so cute, how could she do such a thing, absolutely not! Ah... She's just as cute as Miss Ennoji Akemi!"

Hearing that Lin Xiu was even suspicious of Tokunaga Shiori, Zhongxiong couldn't help but think of the beautiful lady who spoke at the conference just now, and his eyes could not help showing love and pity.

"Cough...cough...! Uh...let's not talk about this, Uk... Zhongxiong-kun, you should know more about STAR cells, right?"

"Uh... Hey, senior! Although my research direction is in the field of gene editing, but... STAR cells or something, I think I can explain a thing or two to you!"

"That... Actually, you don't need to use honorifics to me. In terms of age, you are older, and you were admitted to Kagoshima University two years earlier than me, so... you can just call me Xiuichi-kun!"

"Eh... Wouldn't it be too rude to do this? After all, you defeated a number of Todai and Keio's opponents in the civil service exam, and became a national civil servant that everyone envied! Your deeds, even after so many years. , is still circulating on the campus of Kagoshima University, and now he has completely become a legendary figure who inspires the younger generation..."

"Ah... Okay, alright! Not to mention the braveness of those years, the civil service exam actually has a lot of luck in it, so... you better let me go!"

When he heard Zhong Xiongtong talk about his deeds back then, he looked like he was admiring, but Lin Xiuyi's face couldn't help but feel hot. So he picked up the beer bottle to fill the other party's beer, and then changed the subject and asked:

"I also ask Senior Zhongxiong to explain the specific situation of STAR cells in detail for me, please!"

"Uh... Since you are interested, senior, please forgive me for being rude! Speaking of STAR cells, it is necessary to mention that ten years ago, Professor Calais, a doctoral student at Harvard University, once published the A groundbreaking paper!"

"Eh...is that...the paper on the mouse retina?"

"Alas...how can you call that paper that, it's a real work of genius!"

"Uh... I'm sorry, but please continue to introduce!"

"Okay! Oh, by the way, if I say that, maybe you can't feel how outstanding Professor Calais was back then. Uh... do you know what stem cells are?"

"Reluctantly...I know a little bit. Forget it, you'd better explain it to me patiently!"

"Well, okay! The so-called stem cells refer to those pluripotent cells that have the ability to replicate themselves. Under certain conditions, they can differentiate into a variety of functional cells. You know the fact that the umbilical cord blood is preserved when the newborn is born! "

"This...I'm not married yet, so...this is the first time I've heard of it!"

"Eh...Didn't you say that civil servants are very popular when they go on a blind date?"

"Well... let's get down to business!"

"Hey, I'm really sorry, I digressed just now!"

Zhong Xiongtong heard Lin Xiuyi's reminder and raised his glass a little embarrassed to take a sip, and then continued to explain to the other party.

"The reason why umbilical cord blood is preserved is because it contains many hematopoietic stem cells that can be transformed into mature blood cells. These hematopoietic stem cells can be used to treat certain diseases, and we cannot extract the hematopoietic stem cells without umbilical cord blood. But STAR cells are completely different..."

"different?"

"Hi... STAR cells are actually super-artificial stem cells made from differentiated ordinary somatic cells through special technology. Its differentiation ability can theoretically be transformed into all human organs and tissues, even comparable to that of human beings. What about embryonic stem cells! More importantly, because STAR cells themselves are made from ordinary somatic cells, researching it does not have to face the social, ethical and moral pressures that must be undertaken when studying embryonic stem cells..."

"That's...a human clone or something!"

"Hey, senior, you are really smart, you really understand it as soon as you say it!"

"And then? Was it because of the creation of such a special super cell that Hideki Calais became famous?"

"Hey! But because the research work has just begun~lightnovelpub.net~, the STAR cell retinal transplant operation cultivated by Professor Calais was actually carried out on mice, so... Over the years, the Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Imperial College All I've been doing is researching how to apply this technology to humans."

"So... today's seminar is actually just a promotion activity by Sumitomo Pharmaceutical and the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Teito University to use STAR cells in clinical medicine, isn't it?"

"Hey, actually... Many colleagues in the medical field are paying attention to today's meeting, and I am one of the people who have the honor to witness this historical moment. If this operation is successful, many medical technologies will not be able to do so in the future. All diseases treated will find new solutions due to the technology of STAR cells. For example, diabetes, and diseases such as myocardial damage, all these are not problems in the face of STAR cells..."

"Um... is Professor Calais also studying the technology of STAR cells used in the treatment of heart disease?"

"Hey, I heard that it will soon be used in the clinic. It is said that...you only need to cover the damaged part with a piece of myocardial tissue of this size, and the wound on the heart can be repaired!"

Zhong Xiongtong said, he picked up a thin slice of radish with chopsticks and bit off a large piece, and then held it in front of Lin Xiuyi and explained it to him.
