Chapter 90 Induced hematopoietic stem cells,
Chen Changan studied biomedical engineering for so many years, and then studied at Bai Bingchun's research institute for a year. If it is really important, his biology knowledge is the most comprehensive.
On the one hand, he is very interested in biology. If someone is stuck in his mind with a bunch of black technological drawings and materials, he will also become very curious about biology and want to figure out why this kind of thing happened.
On the other hand, because he is indeed talented in biology and is not very talented in mechanical manufacturing, he prefers to do some biomedical things.
For example, Ruikang’s next project to be established!
At this time, he was standing at the door of a conference room of Bai Bingchun Research Institute, observing the newly recruited biology researchers sitting in groups of three or three from the company through the window.
"Guan Kou, you have checked the background relationships of these people. There is nothing suspicious about it, right?"
Chen Changan cannot be blamed for being suspicious. After Medtronic's suppression, he is now cautious in everything he does and does not want backstabs to happen.
If there are Medtronic people among the newly recruited researchers in the company, that wouldn’t it be a big deal!
Guan Kou said confidently: "Mr. Chen, I have checked it. These researchers are very innocent from their backgrounds. Most of them are key researchers in other research institutes and are poached by us at high salaries."
"Some of them came to apply for the job on their own initiative, but after the inspection, they did not find any involvement with other medical companies."
"Okay, just check it."
Chen Changan nodded, then pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.
As soon as he walked in, the researchers who were still whispering and chatting just now became quiet, and more than twenty pairs of eyes were staring at him.
Who is Chen Changan? He has been used to being watched since he was a child and has no pressure at all. He walked to the main seat of the conference table and sat down steadily.
Guan Kou, who had been following Chen Changan's footsteps, also stood behind him, and a momentum of a capitalist boss immediately came to his face.
Chen Changan smiled and looked around all the researchers present, and briefly introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am the boss of Ruikang Medical, Chen Changan."
"It is also the first person in charge of Ruikang Medical's newly established research center."
Although the researchers present were all engaged in scientific research, it did not mean that they had no emotional intelligence at all. Everyone cooperated to applaud and welcomed Chen Changan.
The three professors and researchers also stood up and shook hands with Chen Changan.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Ren Xingyi, and my main research direction is cell biology."
"Wang Jia, histological embryology."
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Fu Tian, and I am currently mainly studying genetic engineering topics."
There are three professors and researchers, two men and one woman. The only girl named Wang Jia is not only much younger than the other two men, but also has a bit cold personality and is not easy to get along with.
Chen Changan has read their information. Ren Xingyi is 36 years old this year. He used to work in the Department of Biology at Southeast University for a period of time and was promoted to the title of associate professor. However, he later quit his job at the school and chose to work in the institute.
The situation of Wang Jia and Fu Tian is similar to that of Ren Xingyi. They were born in Sun Yat-sen University and Ludao University respectively, and both worked as associate professors at prestigious universities.
In particular, Wang Jia, who was only 26 years old, became the youngest associate professor at Sun Yat-sen University. However, for some reason, he chose to resign from the school and not continue working in the education system, but chose to work in the scientific research institute.
Although Chen Changan called them professors and researchers, this is actually a respectful title. After they left the school, they had already lost their professor's title, but everyone is still used to continuing to respectful titles.
Chen Changan exchanged a few greetings with the three scientific research masters, and after asking whether he was satisfied with the treatment, he began to get to the point.
"Ahem...I'll gather you all today to hold this discussion meeting to determine the next research and development direction of our Ruikang Medical."
"Of course, it is also the research and development topic you will do next."
"The 16 biological researchers here will set up an independent project team under the leadership of three professors!"
"What you are going to be responsible for is conquering a vital biotechnology!"
Speaking of this, Chen Changan deliberately paused and looked around all the researchers present. Then he slowly said in everyone's curious eyes: "Inducing hematopoietic stem cell technology!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused an uproar, and everyone whispered in groups of three or three.
Ren Xingyi, who was sitting on Chen Changan's left hand, frowned and reached out to ask: "Mr. Chen, do you want to use hematopoietic stem cells to achieve artificial blood products?"
"I am bluntly speaking, there are still many problems that need to be overcome to achieve artificial blood production, and I'm afraid it will not be possible in a short time."
Wang Jia also frowned, thinking that Chen Changan was a bit unrealistic.
"Mr. Chen, the most in-depth research on the direction of artificial blood production worldwide should be the research team of the Japanese Defense Medical University."
"But even though they have developed artificial blood composed of artificial platelets and artificial red blood cells, and have successfully achieved the functions of stopping hemostatic and transporting oxygen, they can theoretically replace plasma use, and have now entered the animal testing stage."
"But this artificial blood technology is not perfect, and only six of them can succeed in every ten trials."
"And the cost of artificially cultivating red blood cells is too high. Using hematopoietic stem cells to cultivate 10 billion artificial red blood cells is only equivalent to 2 milliliters of human blood, but the cost is extremely high."
"The hematopoietic stem cells used to cultivate must also be isolated from the bone marrow donated by pregnant women or normal people. The acquisition is very difficult, and the source is unstable and not universal. Even if it is made, it can only be used on a small scale and cannot solve the existing ischemia problem."
Fu Tian also suggested weakly: "Mr. Chen, compared to the artificial blood that cannot be commercialized at present, and even clinical trials have not been successfully used to cultivate blood cells by using hematopoietic stem cells, it is better to continue research on fluorocarbon artificial hematopoiesis."
"Since the successful clinical trial of fluorocarbon artificial hematopoiesis in the 1980s, fluorocarbon artificial hematopoiesis, as the mainstream artificial blood, cannot completely replace the role of blood, but fluorocarbon liquid has an important function of human blood. It can transport oxygen inhaled from the lungs to various parts of the human body, and can also transport carbon dioxide excreted from various organs to the lungs and excrete it out of the body."
"In clinical practice, fluorocarbon artificial hematopoiesis has more development prospects and is an ideal blood substitute."
"It's just a little expensive...it's a little bit cheaper than human blood...but if the manufacturing cost can be reduced, there's still a possibility of popularization!"
But Chen Changan shook his head and firmly denied: "Fluorocarbon artificial hematopoiesis is obviously not the optimal solution. After the development of fluorocarbon artificial in the 1970s and 1980s, most scientific researchers stopped following research in this regard."
"Fluorocarbon artificial hematopoiesis only has the function of transmitting oxygen, and does not have biological substances such as white blood cells, platelets, antibodies, enzymes, etc., so there is no function of antibacterial, coagulation, immunity, etc., and the most important ability to transport nutrients is not available."
"This milky white fluorocarbon liquid has no development prospects at all."
"If the human body is a car and the blood is a tire, when a traffic accident occurs and the tire explodes and needs to be replaced, the blood donated by volunteers can only be replaced as a spare tire. The technology we need to induce hematopoietic stem cell induction is to create a second spare tire for humans."
"As for fluorocarbon artificial hematopoiesis, it can only be used as a jack at most. Just push one for a temporary push. If you want to use it as a tire, don't think about it."
