Academician Xiang and Professor He waited for more than an hour before Yang Ping arrived belatedly. Traffic jams are sometimes very time-consuming. This is the case in urban areas during rush hours, so cars can only move slowly and patiently.
"Professor Yang is here!"
When he saw Yang Ping walking into the office, Professor He immediately stood up to greet him.
"Professor Yang! Hello!"
The old academician followed up, immediately held Yang Ping's hand, and greeted him warmly.
Yang Ping was stunned, Academician Xiang?
The old academician has never met Yang Ping, but Yang Ping has met the old academician many times. For Yang Ping, the old academician is an acquaintance. The old academician has a very good relationship with the orthopedic community and is often invited to participate in the Orthopedic Year of Nandu Province.
Yang Ping gave a wonderful speech at the annual meeting. He heard it countless times in the audience. He even took a group photo with the old academician before.
Taking photos with famous people at the beginning of a school is similar to taking photos with celebrities on the red carpet. They are just for the camera to brag and boost one's own worth.
So Yang Ping recognized at a glance that this was Academician Xiang. How could he let the old academician call him "Professor Yang"? Yang Ping quickly helped the old academician sit down:
"Mr. Xiang, you should call me Xiao Yang. If you call me Professor Yang, my legs are a little shaky."
Professor He originally wanted to make an introduction, but the instructor was so excited that he shook Yang Ping's hand before he could introduce himself. Since everyone already knew each other, the introduction step was omitted.
"Professor Yang is Professor Yang. Regardless of academic seniority, a hero comes from a young age. Not bad." When Mr. Xiang met Yang Ping for the first time, he found it more in line with the image he had in mind. He was steady, confident and cheerful, and also had a bit of humor.
, I like this young man very much.
Yang Ping stood in front of the old professor and was looked at by the old academician, just like a grandfather looking at his grandson. The more the old academician looked at him, the more satisfied he became.
"Don't stand, sit down. Your legs won't shake when you sit down and talk!"
The old academician heard the name Yang Ping countless times from Professor He, and then heard it countless times from Professor Su.
He took the lead in recommending Yang Ping for an exceptional promotion to associate professor.
Academician Xiang finally met the real person today.
Just like seeing a long-lost relative, you are as happy as you want to be.
If he hadn't been studying Yang Ping's project plan these days, Academician Xiang would not be so anxious to see Yang Ping. After studying the project plan, he could no longer suppress his ecstasy and hoped to see Yang Ping immediately, so the old academician
Professor He was told to inform him immediately if Yang Ping comes to the Digital Medicine Laboratory.
Everyone sat down, and the old academician's mood calmed down a lot.
"I just talked about your project design, stem cell cultured muscle, why is it embedded in the research on nerve damage repair? And there are still a lot of resources allocated to this sub-project? Nerve damage repair and organ cloning seem a bit unrelated, right?"
Academician Xiang made no secret of his concern for Yang Ping and talked about the topic in just three sentences.
"Because if muscle cloning is successful and the muscle is transplanted into the human body, the muscle lacking innervation will be a piece of dead meat with no function and no value. Therefore, the nerve damage research will be packaged together so that the muscle can be truly applied to the human body in the future.
." Yang Ping's idea is also simple. It is a big topic anyway, and it is not lacking in this. It is all packaged into one piece.
Either don’t do this topic, or study the entire link if you want to do it.
"Are you planning to stew in one pot? This project of yours should be pursued in two parallel ways? Is there any research on micro-printing biological connections on the 3D printing side?" Xiang Lao wanted to verify his guess, and the bet with Professor He has not yet been completed.
The outcome?
The Digital Medicine Laboratory is only responsible for the research on muscle microanatomy and does not know much about the research on 3D bioprinting. However, Academician Xiang speculated that there will be research in this area based on the ideas of Yang Ping's project design.
Yang Ping nodded: "This is the key route for nerve damage repair. I believe that only repair at the cellular level can truly repair nerve damage. Other routes are temporary excessive solutions."
It's really a hit and miss. Only academician Xiang Lao, an expert who has been engaged in clinical anatomy all his life, can clearly see this.
Sometimes regarding the development trend of technology, it requires extremely high judgment to determine which path is correct for the future.
The progress of clinical technology depends on the progress of basic theory. A breakthrough in basic theory directly brings about the innovation of multiple treatment concepts and treatment methods.
"Repair at the cellular level is really a bold idea. Have you ever thought about the difficulty? How many cutting-edge technological breakthroughs are involved?" The old academician looked at Yang Ping deeply.
Scientific researchers must have the ambition to conquer the stars and the sea.
"After thinking about it, we have made long-term plans for this project and will overcome the difficulties one by one." Yang Ping has never been afraid of the difficulty of the project. If he only focuses on surgery and does not work hard on scientific research, it will be a waste of resources.
"Young people are scary. Young people are ambitious. When doing scientific research, you need to be calm, patient, and perseverant. Don't be eager for quick success. It's like knocking off brown sugar piece by piece. Nothing is difficult in the world, but only for those who are determined." The old academician said with emotion.
, I admire Yang Ping’s ambition very much.
"Professor Yang is really conducting research on cell repair of nerve damage." Professor He admired the tutor's judgment very much.
"Really, let me just say, there should be repair at the cellular level? This kind of repair at the cellular level is what I call biological connections. To truly achieve a breakthrough in nerve damage, we must start with cell repair. Everything else is a waste of time.
No results can be achieved." Academician Xiang was proud of his victory.
Professor He admired his tutor's unique vision very much, but at the same time he felt that his own vision was still narrow and severely limited by professional knowledge.
Professional suppression is insurmountable. The modern knowledge system is huge and professional division of labor is meticulous. Talents in each major are very familiar with the knowledge within the major, but have very little understanding of knowledge outside the major, leaving them in a state of blindness.
This requires cooperation among various majors, but there are dead ends in cooperation. For example, areas where majors intersect are common dead ends.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Once someone is proficient in multiple majors and is very familiar with interdisciplinary areas, it is easy to achieve some breakthroughs.
Three levels of surgery: resection, repair and reconstruction.
The essence of repair is restoration, restoring the original structure and function.
Because nerves are composed of cells, nerve damage is ultimately caused by the damage or loss of each cell. To repair them exactly the same, it is impossible to rely on the human body's own ability to achieve this kind of repair, and must rely on artificial technology to complete it.
Artificial technology is nothing more than removing the damaged cells one by one, and then replacing the missing cells one by one. The types of cells and the way they are connected to each other are exactly the same as before.
Just like when a wall is damaged, you must find identical bricks to repair it, and the adhesive between the bricks must be the same as before.
If nerve damage can really be repaired at the cellular level, this would be Nobel Prize-level.
Whether young people can do it is one thing. First they dare to think, then they dare to do it, and they can come up with an effective plan. As for whether they can succeed in the future.
Just focus on climbing without caring about the height!
In the history of world science and technology, there are countless examples of failure. After all, only a few succeed. However, failure cases provide lessons for successors. Failure is the mother of success. Without failure, there would be no subsequent success.
However, Academician Xiang feels that Yang Ping's general direction is correct, and even if it cannot achieve complete success, it will achieve some results.
This kind of subject, even a small breakthrough, can definitely affect the world, and the future generations will be formidable!
Academician Xiang sighed again.
"Since 3D bioprinting can print organs, it can naturally repair damaged nerve tissue and restore the damaged parts with 3D printing, thus achieving the purpose of repair." Yang Ping is very confident in his idea.
"Let's go have dinner together. Let's chat while we eat. I'll be the host."
Academician Xiang raised his wrist to look at his watch. He was so absorbed in chatting that he forgot to eat. It was rare to be so happy and it was rare to eat out.
"Mr. Xiang rarely eats out. Today is all about you." Professor He said to Yang Ping with a smile.
Yang Ping felt a little flattered. An old academician in his nineties was waiting for him here and even invited him to dinner. This kind of love and care for young people was so precious.
Academician Xiang wanted to stand up. After sitting for a long time, his knee joints were not very flexible.
Yang Ping hurriedly went to help: "Mr. Xiang, how about letting the students come to treat me? I have wanted to meet Mr. Xiang for a long time, but I was afraid of disturbing your peace, so I never dared to tell Professor He."
With Yang Ping's help, Academician Xiang stood up and moved a few times, and his knee joints became flexible again.
"I've agreed to treat you, young man, don't be nagging, let's go! Professor He, go to the place you ordered. The quality is okay. Don't worry about my money. I have pensions and subsidies." Academician Xiang entrusted Professor He.
I helped book the hotel and just paid for it myself. I brought my briefcase with me, so I definitely had plenty of money with me.
"Why are you also called Professor He? Call me Xiao He?"
Professor He knew that this tutor often had some lighthearted jokes.
"We are all professors, so why is it your turn to be Xiao Yang and Xiao He? Really? Professors, do you want to have some drinks?" The old academician was a little moody today and actually asked for a drink.
"Don't be afraid, we're all on schedule. Professor He will arrange for a driver to take you back then?" The old academician made clear arrangements.
Today, the instructor was really happy. He usually drinks a little wine when there are happy events. For example, when the digital man research was successful, he drank a little wine.
I met Yang Ping today and had such a happy chat that he even asked for a drink.
"Okay! Have a drink." Yang Ping did not dare to dampen the old academician's enthusiasm.
"Did Madam approve it?" Professor He asked.
The old academician was very masculine: "Do you need her approval for a little drink? But I have already reported it, don't worry."
Professor He also called several professors and PhDs from the laboratory together. We usually immerse ourselves in experiments and rarely go out. Today, Mr. Xiang is treating us, so everyone goes to relax.
The dinner was held in a relatively high-end hotel near Nandu Medical University. Academician Xiang said hello in advance, and the hotel should not be of low quality, otherwise the young people would think that the old man was stingy.
Everyone who can drink should have a small drink, but everyone should do what they can. Even if it is a small cup, there is no pressure to drink, and there is no glass to dry. There is no way that not drinking means not giving face. Clinking glasses is also meaningful, and everyone is free to do so.
Academician Xiang was in high spirits and discussed issues related to the project with Yang Ping during the dinner.
Professor He is very happy. Being able to work with such a genius will make his work more enjoyable and more confident.
Several professors in other laboratories, who are PhD students, know very well that they are currently involved in the grand topics, and they have also consulted relevant information.
No one has yet started this kind of research on establishing digital organs based on subtle anatomy. It is a completely new field, which shows that our subject is groundbreaking in the world.
Regardless of whether we can produce results in the future, for scientific researchers, studying the world's leading technologies will definitely give them a great sense of accomplishment and honor.
After a few rounds of drinking, the old academician took Yang Ping's hand and said, "How do you think our digital people should develop in the future?"
Yang Ping calmed down: "Move in the direction of fine anatomy and functional construction. Without fine anatomy, real functional simulation cannot be achieved. It is best to have a supercomputer as the basis to break down the human body into cells, then cells to build tissues, and then tissues to build organs."
, no matter how many organs make up the human body, only digital humans at the cellular level are truly digital humans with subtle anatomy, and massive cell data must be supported by supercomputers.”
Microanatomy of digital humans at the cellular level?
Academician Xiang murmured to himself that this is a huge project and it is no longer possible for him to participate in it, but it is also a meritorious thing to promote it in his lifetime.
"You are absolutely right. Digital humans must develop towards the cellular level. In the process of constructing the fine anatomy of muscles, you must learn how to construct the fine anatomy of the human body. In the future, I hope to start research on digital humans at the cellular level."
Academician Xiang warned Professor He.
Today's meal is really worth it. The professors and doctors here are all very excited when they hear that they will be involved in such a huge project in the future, just like those who are engaged in aerospace majors when they hear that they are going to participate in the moon landing program.
"I went back and suggested to President Rao that we add a supercomputer to the laboratory and use it to conduct research on the fine anatomy of digital humans in the future. If the research yields results, this will be a major event that will benefit the country and the people. Many medical researches in the future can support our digital humans.
Come and study, such as drug development, device design, medical education, automobile safety experiments, and even space exploration, etc." The fuzzy future in the old academician's mind became very clear.
"Come on, young people are terrible, let's have a drink?" the old academician raised his cup.
Yang Ping clinked glasses with the old academician and each took a sip.
"If you need anything in the future, just tell me. We old people, sometimes it's better to talk a little." The old academician said to Yang Ping candidly.
"Thank you. Mr. Xiang cares so much for us young people. The younger generation will definitely work hard." Yang Ping thanked him.
This atmosphere is really good!
Yang Ping feels very comfortable. With so many people supporting him, this project will definitely yield results soon.
"Call a driver to take Professor Yang back later." The old academician did not forget to tell Professor He.
