However, Yang Ping immediately rejected his idea.
He was very interested in this Laneffer case, but as a surgeon, he was unusually sensitive to safety.
Unfamiliar non-public medical organizations, an operation on a medical ship on the high seas, can easily fall into unclear traps.
"I'll think about it again!"
Yang Ping tapped his fingers on the table, he must remain cautious.
The skin in vitro expansion technology is nothing more than that they have mastered a certain mature "inducing formula". The "inducing formula" for stem cells is Yang Ping's main research topic now. Yang Ping has already seen the way, why not use this technology to try
Try your own induction theory.
The theories summarized from experiments are in turn verified by experiments.
The brilliance of Lanofer's new technology is not to cultivate stem cells into bulk skin cells, but to use the entire skin as an organ for overall expansion. This induction technology is one level more advanced than other current stem cell cultivation technologies.<
/p>
Most other stem cell researchers have stopped at cultivating countless individual target cells, and then using these cells as "ink", combined with special scaffolds, to print the three-dimensional shape of the organ. This kind of printed organ is "similar in shape but not similar in spirit".<
/p>
Another way of thinking is that some teams use genetic modification technology to cultivate organs in animals such as pigs. After genetic modification, they will not reject human organs, and then transplant them into humans. For example, a team from the University of Maryland in the United States has successfully transplanted pig hearts into
This idea of transplanting into humans is more practical than 3D printing organs. After all, it is much easier to cultivate organs than to print them.
It is easier to grow apples from seeds than to assemble an apple using artificial technology.
Because of the skin amplification technology, Yang Ping is between the two routes of natural cultivation and 3D printing, and the balance is leaning towards natural cultivation.
This is what scientific experiments are like, constantly correcting one's own route in the process of exploration.
If we can break through the skin amplification technology and unlock its secrets, then can we also use the amplification technology to grow livers, kidneys and hearts in vitro?
Take the liver for example. A small piece of liver tissue can induce the entire liver. This is such an attractive prospect.
It is obvious that neither Maninstein nor other scientists at Lanefei Company have cracked the mystery of this organ-level induction. They have only achieved some kind of breakthrough in experience and can amplify the simplest skin.<
/p>
If they really find the secret, Maninstein will not abandon this topic, but will continue to use this technology to support research on spinal cord injury repair.
Yang Ping decided to go to the System Space Laboratory to use experimental models to study this problem, and then crack the mystery of in vitro skin amplification.
This is much more difficult than cultivating skin cells from stem cells, because it not only involves cultivating cells, but also involves the spatial construction of cells and the real connections between cells.
August and Robert were obviously disappointed when they heard that Yang Ping changed his mind. As far as they knew, the skin in vitro expansion technology can be called a model of clinical application of stem cells, but Professor Yang was actually indifferent to it.
"Professor?"
Robert still refuses to give up, and August also hopes that Yang Ping will change his mind.
They really want Yang Ping to participate in this operation, which will not only allow Yang Ping to gain strong support from Langnerfer, but also allow Yang Ping to expand his connections in the world's top academic circles.
Yang Ping just waved his hand and said nothing.
Robert and August had no choice but to withdraw from Yang Ping's director's office.
In the doctor's office, an intern was answering the phone: "Dr. Wan, the doctor in charge of consultation in our department? Oh, Dr. Montblanc."
The intern put down the phone and said to the young doctors working hard in the office: "I just got a call from the neurology department saying that the patient who was consulted by Dr. Wan in our department has completed X-rays as required. I hope Dr. Wan will take the time to help look at the X-rays."
"Pian, who is Dr. Wan?"
This trainee is not new here. He is already very familiar with general surgery, but he has never heard of Dr. Wan.
Doctor Wan?
Comprehensive
The surgical department includes Dr. Song, Dr. Xu, Dr. Zhang, and Dr. Lu ---
It can even be said that there are five doctors.
There is no Dr. Wan, let alone a doctor named Montblanc.
"Is there a mistake? Is it the doctor from the orthopedics department?"
someone asked suspiciously.
Another graduate student who had just transferred from orthopedics said: "There is no doctor named Montblanc over there."
"That's right! People said it clearly, Dr. Montblanc!"
The person who answered the phone was very sure that there was no way he heard it wrong.
Doctor Montblanc?
At this time, Zhang Lin came in and looked around for his pen: "Have you seen my pen? There is an infusion sticker on it with a brand written on it."
This is the Montblanc that Auguste brought from Germany. It just disappeared.
At this time, the phone rang again. After the intern answered the phone, he looked at Zhang Lin blankly and said, "Teacher Zhang, a female doctor in the Department of Neurology said that Dr. Montblanc's pen was left in their office. Remember to pick it up when you go to the consultation."
."
When did the famous Zhang Lin, Director of the Intelligence Department of Sanbo Hospital, change his name to Montblanc?
The doctors in the office instantly understood what was going on, and some couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Lin usually goes out for consultations. After writing the consultation form, he signed it. It was like dragons and phoenixes. If it wasn’t familiar, he wouldn’t have recognized the name. It is estimated that after the consultation, the Montblanc pen was left there. The smart female neurologist used the name on the pen.
Infusion patch, recognized Dr. Montblanc.

Auckland, New Zealand, inside a villa.
The assistant in a white coat carefully took out a piece of skin from the incubator. It was expanded from 1 square centimeter of skin. This piece of skin was about 200 square centimeters. The assistant placed the skin on a tray and sent it to Ivan.
In front of the professor.
Professor Ivan is in his fifties, with deep and lively eyes. His cheeks, chin and lips are covered with thick beards. He has obviously not shaved for several days. If he continues like this, he will definitely grow a typical Russian look.
Big beard.
Professor Ivan immigrated to New Zealand from Russia many years ago and has been living in this island country since then except for out-of-town surgeries.
With Professor Ivan's financial resources and professional abilities, he could immigrate to almost any country in the world that accepts immigrants. After years of on-the-spot investigation and comparison, he still chose New Zealand.
The United States is too noisy and he likes silence.
Canada is too cold. Even in Vancouver with a mild climate, he can't stand the depressing rainy season.
He is tired of Europe, and all kinds of strife and quarrels make it difficult to feel at ease.
Australia is suffering from drought and water shortage; Singapore is very good, but too small.
Only this isolated island country, New Zealand, deeply attracted Professor Ivan. After many visits, he decided to move to this lonely island country.
On the outskirts of Auckland, he bought a piece of land and built a villa.
In addition to the building where he lives, this villa also has his laboratory and even his doomsday bunker.
This so-called doomsday bunker is purely to satisfy his ultimate pursuit of safety, but it is now used as a wine cellar.
The tray was placed firmly on Professor Ivan's desk. Professor Ivan nodded slightly, gently touched the skin with his gloved fingers, and carefully observed the skin through the natural light outside the window: "It's still a lot worse.
The quality of this kind of skin is completely qualified to replace scars in other parts, but if it is used for facial plastic surgery, it still does not meet the requirements."
"Professor Maninstein made no progress on this topic back then. Later, he focused on the research on spinal cord injury and no longer paid attention to this topic. Loneffer took over this topic, and even though it developed it to the extreme, it hit a ceiling.
A huge breakthrough has been made in expanding the area. The quality can always maintain the complete structure of the dermis and epidermis. However, the texture is always unsatisfactory, especially when it is far different from facial skin. There is no problem at all when transplanting to ordinary parts, but when transplanting to the face
There is still a difference, but it is much better than before. This is already the best choice in the world. As a doctor, you cannot choose the perfect situation
Under certain circumstances, we can only choose the best, because in most cases, there is a lack of perfect options."
"How are you preparing for the surgery?"
Professor Ivan took off his gloves and asked his assistant to put the skin back into the incubator. There are many such incubators on display in the laboratory.
The assistant carefully put the skin back into the incubator and said: "The operation in Singapore is ready, and our equipment has arrived in Singapore. Professor Maninstein will participate in this operation, but he is only the theoretical team chairman.
And you are the real surgeon."
There was a picture of the human body hanging on the wall. Professor Ivan stood up and stood in front of the picture, pointing at the picture with the pencil in his hand: "This surgery is a huge project. The severe burns have caused large scars in many parts of the body.
, these scars proliferate and contract, all scars need to be removed, and then covered with grafts using our cultured skin. You see, the nose and auricles need to be reconstructed, and the 3D printed cartilage from the University of Alberta can barely complete the mission. Orthopedics of the pelvis and joints
, I can only ask that Chinese doctor to help. I have read his papers and cases. He is proficient in orthopedic surgery. If you judge based on the papers, he should be the number one in the world today, and no one can surpass it." p>
"But I've never heard of this Dr. Yang?" the assistant asked curiously.
Professor Ivan shook his head: "That's because---you have never dabbled in fields other than plastic surgery. If you have spare time, I suggest you read widely, from basic medicine to clinical medicine, in various fields and specialties, sometimes they are
We can learn from each other and learn from each other. We must learn every day. Only learning can keep you energetic."
"Yes, Professor Ivan, I will remember."
In the assistant's mind, Professor Ivan is a mentor, a true mentor.
"This Chinese doctor, I have never met him, but I have read all his papers. If it were not for the accumulation of a large number of successful cases, many of the essence of the papers would not be written at all. Chinese people are naturally smart and have a huge amount of knowledge.
It is easy to train doctors with superb medical skills through case studies. It is a pity that Chinese doctors always lack a spark of imagination, but this young doctor is different. He has a precious spark of imagination." Professor Ivan's tone was calm and slow.
.
"Professor Ivan, you can always see things that others cannot see!" The assistant admired him sincerely.
"The spark of imagination is actually a problem between 1% inspiration and 99% sweat. 1% inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99% sweat. If one day, the Chinese get a hundred
One-third of the inspiration, their science and technology will explode. When I was twenty years old, it was still the Soviet era. I studied at Setonov First Medical University. At that time, I met Chinese students. They were very smart and hard-working.
, I have a very deep impression of the Chinese people, they are smart, hard-working, and full of endurance."
Professor Ivan was thoughtful, as if he had returned to his youth. After a moment, he returned to his normal demeanor.
"You see, the pelvic deformity and bilateral hip joint deformity left by the comminuted pelvic fracture caused by the car accident require complex pelvic osteotomy, which is daunting to orthopedic surgeons, but this Chinese
The doctor was able to successfully open the patient who had a folded spine. This requires wisdom, courage and superb surgical skills."
"I have been studying this case for three years. The only thing I am not sure about is the texture of the facial skin and the orthopedics. The texture of the skin grown in our laboratory is still different from the facial skin, and this kind of skin is very resistant to ultraviolet rays.
Poor, according to our experimental data, under ultraviolet irradiation, pigmentation is easy to occur, and the risk of skin cancer is also doubled."
"But for this Italian lady, this is the best choice. From now on, he can walk on the street looking like a normal person."
The assistant looked at his mentor with admiring eyes. This genius plastic surgery master almost wanted to create another beautiful woman, but he was not satisfied yet, and his pursuit of details was almost paranoid.
He has maturely applied stem cell cultivation technology and bio-3D printing technology to plastic surgery, making it very easy to shape some bone and cartilage contours, and the use of in vitro skin expansion technology has made skin plastic surgery light and easy. p>
Easy to do.
"I always ask you to have a broad understanding of medicine. For example, cartilage 3D printing technology has not made progress in joint surgery, but we apply this technology to the shaping of the nose and auricle, and the effect is very good, because we use it,
Function is needed, only form is needed, and joint surgery needs function."
Professor Ivan wrote something on the picture with a pencil, then took a few steps back to observe the picture carefully. He has been continuously improving his surgical plan in the past few years.
He wants to use his medical skills to create an artificial beauty and let her return to the stage.
"I heard that the Chinese doctor declined the invitation for this surgery?"
Professor Ivan always speaks at a constant speed, neither too fast nor too slow, just like a steady preacher.
The assistant replied respectfully: "Yes, Longnerfer sent him an invitation, but he refused."
"Perhaps he doesn't like Longenfer, or he doesn't know Longenfer at all, but he will at least be interested in this case. Such a genius must be a guy who has a strong interest in medicine, and at the same time, he is interested in our case.
You may be somewhat interested in skin augmentation technology. This is the mature organ cloning technology that is actually used clinically in the world. You have to believe that geniuses have one thing in common - an extreme love for a certain field and no care for irrelevant things.
I don’t care."
"It seems that I should go to China myself." Professor Ivan looked out the window.
The blue sky and white clouds outside the window are picturesque.
