The muscles cultured in the incubator have slowly changed from the size of peas to the size of potatoes.
Tang Shun and all the researchers live in the laboratory almost 24 hours a day, and they want to witness an exciting moment in the history of medicine.
When the laboratory was originally renovated, a relatively spacious lounge had been reserved and a floor was laid in the lounge, enough for Tang Shun and the researcher to spend the night together.
Even in the middle of the night, Tang Shun would sometimes wake up to see if there had been any changes in the "muscles" in the incubator. This kind of dedication to work made Tang Shun alienate his dozen Japanese girlfriends.
, Teacher Tang has not opened WeChat to chat with his girlfriends for many days.
This was just Tang Shun's unintentional work, but it was a heavy blow to those girlfriends. The sensitive and suspicious Japanese girlfriends began to wonder if Tang Shun was going to abandon them, so everyone was in danger.
If Tang Shun does not reply to WeChat, his girlfriends are likely to form a group and come to China to look for their husbands.
But at this time, Tang Shun had forgotten everything. He devoted all his energy to the experiment, thinking about the experiment all the time.
The laboratory plan given to him by Yang Ping was completely completed using existing equipment. This was the first experiment and only existing or commercially available instruments and equipment could be used. When repeating the experiment in the future, it must be
There are specific equipment and instruments suitable for this kind of experiment.
Moreover, the first experiment only considered how to achieve the goal, and did not think much about other issues for the time being. These tasks naturally fell on Tang Shun's shoulders.
Tang Shun actually has a lot to think about, such as how to improve the incubator, what kind of intervention is used in the artificial heart-lung machine for experiments, how to connect the blood vessels of the muscles, and even how to design the artificial heart-lung machine, precise control of the muscle culture volume, and muscle strength after the muscles are cultivated.
How to use artificial methods to stimulate training, how to stimulate neural maturation, etc.
From the structural analysis of dozens of specimens, it was determined that the cultured muscle not only has the same combination of muscle fibers as normal human muscles, but also can cultivate blood vessels and nerves inside.
This shows that even if they leave the human body and the embryonic system, stem cells can still develop into a local organ independently, and the gene fragments that control cells to build organs have their own precise missions. For example, the fragment discovered by Yang Ping only controls cells to build organs.
A single simple muscle, with a muscle belly in the middle and tendons at both ends, with blood vessels and nerves distributed inside.
Dozens of successful specimens are of this simple muscle type. If multiple muscle bellies or polyceps are to be cultivated, further research will naturally be required.
After testing, the muscle strength currently cultivated is weak, but if muscle strength training can be carried out in a targeted manner, it can fully meet the needs of the transplant site.
Designing equipment and instruments is a weakness for Yang Ping, because all his knowledge reserves are mainly based on medicine.
Therefore, the drawings of equipment and instruments drawn by Yang Ping are only a rough outline, and the details cannot be designed. Therefore, the role of the drawings is only to tell Ruixing's engineers what kind of equipment they want, and the rest of the work is left to Ruixing's engineers.
Engineers do it.
Yang Ping doesn't come to Ruixing Company very often, but this time he came to Ruixing Company specifically for the experimental equipment.
Mr. Huang is no longer the small manager who sold medical devices before, but is the CEO of Ruixing Group, the largest domestic medical device R&D and manufacturing manufacturer.
Nowadays, Ruixing is developing very fast. The company's orthopedic consumables brand has occupied a large market with the support of domestic peers. In the north, there is the support of Professor Liang, in the south, there is Professor Su, in the west, there is Professor Fu Shancheng from West China, and in the Magic City, there is Professor Hong Zhigang.
With the support of these professors, Ruixing's products are on par with those of the giants, and have even begun to catch up.
Ruixing did not disappoint everyone. After increasing its market share, it obtained a large amount of funds, and then iterated its products very quickly. Each generation is easier to use than the other. It is not inferior to imported consumables at all, and some products have surpassed imported products.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Jiacai also made a decisive move to acquire several relatively good domestic manufacturers to complete the entire product line of wooden barrels.
After replenishing various medical consumables, Huang Jiacai began to advance into high-tech technologies, such as medical materials, biological 3D printers, artificial hearts, etc.
Ruixing has been able to develop so fast not only because of the collective support of the big guys in the domestic medical field, but also because there are several financial backers behind it.
In other words, there is no shortage of markets and funds.
The financial backers include the giant Anning Group, the Southeast Asian consortium Guo Group, and the local tycoon Xinchang Mining. This Xinchang Mining is developing rapidly. It is said that according to the mining speed of this gold mine, it can earn tens of billions a year.
And there is no problem in mining for more than ten years.
In order to help Changxin Mining develop this large-scale mine, it is said that Anning Group and Guo Group have also invested in support. It can be said that these companies help each other and join forces.
Lao Wang has also changed from a coal boss to a gold boss, and his status as a rich man has reached a higher level.
"professor!"
Huang Jiacai stood respectfully at the gate and waited. As soon as Yang Ping's car parked, Huang Jiacai immediately ran to open the door.
"Don't be so polite, just show me around."
Yang Ping was a little uncomfortable with this scene.
In fact, Huang Jiacai has been very low-key. If it were according to the pomp of other companies, how could Huang Jiacai stand here alone to greet him? Instead, he should lead the entire company's senior management to stand at the gate to warmly welcome him. The red carpet was laid out from the parking area at the gate.
Go to the company lobby.
"please!"
Under the leadership of Huang Jiacai, Yang Ping visited Ruixing's research institute and laboratory. The first-generation prototype of the bio-3D printer has been produced. Because it is the result of reverse engineering technology, it is not very outstanding.
However, the research on the second-generation product has almost been completed. It has many improvements on the original product and even uses some innovative technologies.
The planned third-generation product is expected to be able to achieve scaffold-free printing. In the past, all bio-3D printing had to rely on scaffolds to maintain the shape of the organ. The only difference was that the materials of the scaffolds were different.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Scaffold-free printing technology is the real bioprinting. It can not only use cells as materials to print out the shape of target organs, but also print out the relationship between cells.
The connections between the organs can truly simulate real organs from the microstructure, and it is no longer the level of imitation.
If the third-generation products are fully functional, organs with simple structures such as skin, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments can be printed.
After visiting the research institute and laboratory, Huang Jiacai took Yang Ping to visit the company canteen, dormitory, entertainment center, etc., and finally returned to his office.
Of course, the employees of Ruixing had no idea that Yang Ping was the real boss. They always thought that Huang Jia was the boss, so everyone was very curious about where this young man came from and how he got the boss to accompany him respectfully.
"Professor, you see, we have established three major R&D centers across the country. The next step is to establish R&D centers in Europe and North America and utilize local talents to serve us. We have firmly established our market share in the field of orthopedic consumables and other specialties.
We have successively entered the market of consumables, and we have fully rolled out the entire consumable products, including surgical sutures. At present, we have three key laboratories---biological 3D printing technology, medical materials, artificial organs, and a fourth laboratory.
The biochip laboratory is under preparation. Currently, many investment companies are looking for me, hoping to invest and promote us to go public. I have refused. Not only now, but also in the future, I have no plans to go public. Only in this way can we firmly
Take the company into your own hands."
Huang Jiacai was very ambitious and pointed at a map in the office to introduce it to Yang Ping.
"very good!"
At this time, Yang Ping couldn't seem to find any good words except "very good". He was almost blank and had no interest in business matters.
"Dr. Tang has already sent the information on the special equipment needed for the stem cell laboratory, and we will seize the time to develop it."
Huang Jiahui, who was accompanying me, said.
"Just keep communicating with Dr. Tang about this. Biological 3D printer technology must be a key research and development point. In the biological field, it will be as important as photolithography machines in the future. We must be at the forefront." Yang Ping ordered.
"Professor, our bio-3D printing laboratory and R&D team have expanded to more than 2,000 people. We are establishing branch R&D institutions in Europe and North America."
Huang Jiacai knew that this was the company's strategic focus. As for consumables, they were just cash cows. The real competition with international giants was with these future technologies. Once these technologies fell behind others, it would be almost impossible to rely on make-up lessons in the future.
"Should you call Chen Zhi over?" Huang Jiahui suggested. Chen Zhi is Ruixing's chief engineer.
Yang Ping shook his head: "Let's just sit down and have a cup of tea. He's so busy. Why did you ask him to come over?"
Yang Ping knew that a technology geek like Chen Zhi hated all kinds of entertainment, so it was most important to let him be free.

Political Commissar Qiao from 301 came to the door alone this time. There was only one person accompanying him, a deputy director of the provincial department and an acquaintance of Dean Xia.
The person who came here is not good, and this is another way to poach people.
Dean Xia's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to deal with Political Commissar Qiao. He heard that Political Commissar Qiao was a master of political work, and this kind of person was the most difficult to deal with.
"Dean Xia, hello, hello, I finally see you today."
"Political Commissar Qiao, welcome."
Under the recommendation of Director Ming of the Provincial Department, everyone sat down and chatted slowly. Although there were only two visitors, Dean Xia had to take time to deal with such a large number of visitors.
"Sanbo Hospital is really full of talents. When I just passed by, I noticed that there are several research institutes in one building, including cardiovascular surgery, brain surgery, and spine surgery. It is rare in the country for one hospital to have several research institutes. Sanbo Hospital
The hospital is really improving rapidly." Political Commissar Qiao said with a smile.
Dean Xia said modestly: "Compared to your hospital, we are just a small hospital, just trying to spread our momentum. Hospitals like ours are not big or small now, and they are very uncomfortable. We can say that they are provincial hospitals, and they don't have many resources. We can't keep them."
The hospital is not like your big hospitals, which are full of talents. We can retain the existing talents and feed thousands of employees, which is good, and we don’t expect to make rapid progress."
Those who want to poach me, aren't they bullying the small ones? Are they going to let us live our lives?
"Dean Xia, you are too modest. In fact, our life is not easy. The tasks imposed by our superiors are heavy, and many tasks must be completed." Political Commissar Qiao said in a homely tone.
"Dean Xia, this time Political Commissar Qiao came here with a special mission ---"
After exchanging a few words, Director Ming of the Health Department began to speak and introduced the topic.
Dean Xia has been mentally prepared. This is the first time they have come. Dean Xia can't remember clearly. Anyway, they have come one after another several times, with different tricks every time, but they have only one purpose--
-Poach people!
Yang Ping himself doesn’t want to leave, and none of you can do anything about it. You can’t kidnap someone, right?
Dean Xia had confidence in his heart, so he did not panic and remained unchanged in the face of all changes.
"I'm here this time---"
Political Commissar Qiao said.
"I came here this time to present Professor Yang with certificates and prizes. Professor Yang's operation on the old academician was very successful. The superior leaders were very satisfied and proposed that they must be rewarded. How to reward them? In addition to issuing certificates and certificates, they also specially awarded a car.
Hongqi Car, congratulations!"
Political Commissar Qiao said happily, and then took out a briefcase with both hands, which probably contained certificates of awards or the like.
We're not here to poach people this time? We're just giving away certificates and prizes? Why do we also reward you with a car?
Dean Xia concealed his suspicion and pretended to be very happy: "We are all happy, and there is also a Hongqi car?"
Political Commissar Qiao said: "Yes, transportation is definitely needed, especially Professor Yang, who needs a good transportation."
Dean Xia didn't understand why he was awarded a car. To be honest, he had never encountered such a precedent.
Political Commissar Qiao lowered his voice and said: "Dean Xia, this car is not an ordinary car. The license plate will be registered in the public security system, and there is an alarm system on the car. The alarm is directly connected to the public security system. Talents like Professor Yang are valued very much by superiors.
---"
Dean Xia breathed a sigh of relief and understood what was going on. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case. For a genius like Professor Yang, safety issues were a top priority. Why didn't he think of this?
"I'll call Yang Ping over." Dean Xia originally thought they were here to recruit people, so he didn't want to disturb Yang Ping.
Political Commissar Qiao waved his hand: "No, young people are used to being free. If you call him to accept the award, he will feel uncomfortable. As the dean, you can accept it on your behalf. I don't want to disturb Professor Yang. I heard that he is now
I'm very busy and I don't want to annoy him."
"You don't need to see him in person?" Dean Xia was surprised. How could he be so simple this time and even give away the prize secretly?
Political Commissar Qiao smiled and said: "We are learning from you, young man, this little thing cannot make him feel red tape."
This was also the opinion of the superior leaders. Certificates and prizes should be delivered, but in a low-key manner, and he must not feel the red tape. Therefore, Political Commissar Qiao did not make a big fanfare, and just asked a local staff member to accompany him and simply get the matter done.
"Here are the certificates and information about the car. I have sent them to you! Someone will follow up later!"
Political Commissar Qiao handed the exquisite briefcase to Dean Xia with both hands.
