Chapter 400 Organ regeneration?
Research Center, in the exclusive laboratory of Wang Jia project team.
Dozens of people sat together, looking at each other speechlessly.
Wang Jia rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache, "Everyone is focusing on ideas and talking about their ideas. Although I am the head of the project team, after all, the project requires everyone to work together to complete it."
"If you have any good ideas, you can come up with them boldly."
The researchers below looked at each other, and one of the more bold male researchers raised their hands and said, "Professor Wang, I think we should give full play to the advantages of our project team in biological science and medical devices."
"The next project can study instruments in the field of organ regeneration. At present, this is a hot topic in the research and development of global medical technology, and we, Ruikang, should not lag behind others."
The researcher's words immediately aroused the approval of many colleagues at the scene.
If the project team under Li Yuntong gathers a group of mechanical technology parties that advocate the ascension of flesh and blood.
Then the researchers under Wang Jia are almost all biotechnology standards bearers who run contrary to Li Yuntong and others. Most of them are master's and doctoral students from biological sciences.
In their eyes, biological science is the direction of future medical development. One day, biotechnology can be used to achieve cell regeneration and organ regeneration, so that all organs in humans will no longer be unique. If damaged, they can be replaced at any time and can always have a healthy body.
But, the thought was a bit too beautiful.
Wang Jia frowned and poured it into cold water directly: "Organ regeneration is still too far away. Although 3D printing technology is gradually mature, research on the field of stem cells that are truly used for organ regeneration is still very superficial."
"How to degenerate somatic cells back into stem cells and then cultivate stem cells in vivo or in vitro to form the desired organs is still a difficult problem."
"Even if it is allogeneic cultivation, the top research institutions have only cultivated pig hearts on pigs, and have not been completely successful."
Another researcher heard Wang Jia say this and immediately raised his hand and said, "Professor Wang, organ regeneration is a bit difficult, but it always takes the first step."
"It is definitely too difficult to directly attempt to regenerate organs such as the heart, stomach, pancreas, etc., but we can start with some simpler and easy to regenerate tissues."
"For example?" Wang Jia raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
The researcher said excitedly: "For example, teeth!"
"The roots, pulp, dentin, and enamel are all possible to regenerate!"
"It has been many years since stem cell technology was used to study teeth regeneration and has achieved fruitful results. Professors from West China Hospital once used stem cell technology to cultivate teeth, but they grew too slowly."
"After 20 years of hard work, the oral research team of the Air Force Military Medical University has successfully achieved pulp regeneration, and has now clinically cured more than 100 children!"
"The feasibility of regeneration of teeth through stem cells, whether in theory or experiments, has been proved, but it is not mature enough to be widely used on a large scale!"
"Tooth regeneration? I have never paid much attention to research breakthroughs in this area, let me talk about it." Wang Jia was very curious. Regarding cell regeneration and organ regeneration, her eyes were always on some major projects, such as heart regeneration, 3D printing of hearts, etc., and she has never paid attention to the area that is easily overlooked by teeth.
But in fact, dental problems are one of the most common areas with the most patients in modern society.
Most ordinary people have more or less some dental problems. Dental implants are like hair transplants, and are gradually becoming more and more popular among young people.
Among the most appearance improvement projects that young people do now, the top two are hair transplants and dental implants.
Dental diseases are being taken more and more seriously. Whether it is tooth decay or periodontal disease, they are becoming more and more common, and bad teeth appear more and more frequently. They are often followed by tooth extraction.
Dental itself has high profits, and dental implants are very expensive. If you can use the power of technology to regenerate teeth, the market will be very large and the profits will be rolling.
But Wang Jia often ignores teeth. Subconsciously, most people actually think that teeth are not very important, and organs such as the heart, brain, etc. are the organs that should be paid attention to.
But in fact, there is nothing that is not important in the human body, and even hair is now being taken more and more seriously?
After staying up late every day, which leads to young and early baldness, more and more cases of needing to spend tens of thousands of yuan to remove hair follicles, young people also attach great importance to baldness and are very afraid that they will follow in the footsteps and become a member of the vast bald youth group, trying their best to take care of their hair.
The teeth cannot be ignored naturally.
If you can research the technology of teeth regeneration, the prospects are indeed very good!
Seeing that Wang Jia was very interested, the researcher quickly explained: "In fact, the specific method is to regenerate teeth through stem cells."
"Whether it is in the baby teeth, adult wisdom teeth, orthodontic teeth, the pulp mesenchymal stem cells can be extracted, and the extraction method is simple and convenient and can be extracted multiple times!"
"Mesenchymal stem cells are indeed magical cells, and they have very good results in disease treatment, beauty and anti-aging, organ reconstruction, and promoting hematopoietic recovery."
"Through the 3D culture system, transplanting stem cell pellets and composite materials into the subcutaneous tissue can efficiently form regenerative dentin, capillary network, peripheral neural network, etc., and the cell arrangement of the regenerated tissue is similar to that of native teeth."
"If it goes well, after a period of regeneration, a new tooth can be regenerated and has a complete dental nervous system, which is very healthy!"
"But the only difficult question is how to standardize and scale it, and how to effectively extract stem cells."
"It's very difficult for adult men who don't have wisdom teeth and have changed their baby teeth to extract tooth mesenchymal stem cells from their own body!"
"The small number of dental stem cells, difficult to expand in vitro, and long culture cycles are all disadvantages that need to be overcome. If a method can be developed, popular teeth regeneration can be achieved!"
The researcher recommended his plan to Wang Jia with joy. If the other colleagues were thinking about it, no one spoke directly against his plan. Even if someone had any doubts, he would prepare to wait for the meeting to check the relevant literature and materials before going against him.
Everyone fell into a strange silence.
After pondering for a while, Wang Jia really had limited understanding of this aspect, but it was not easy to directly extinguish the enthusiasm of the researcher, so he said to him: "Let's do this, first make a detailed report, and excerpt the relevant research literature, and then take it to us all after it is done."
"If the feasibility is indeed very high, I will report it to Mr. Chen."
Chapter completed!
