MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 1111 rejuvenation
Everyone put on white coats, entered the disinfection room, and then entered the most important experimental area in the laboratory.
Natalie was very pretty in her lab coat, and Dunn felt that she was also very personable in her white lab coat.
But Murdoch and Lei Shidong are also dressed like this, why do they always find it so funny?
I'm getting old, and it's not good to wait outside for the results, so I have to come over to join in the fun.
It may also be this stubborn character that led them to be reluctant to delegate power in the company.
Here, two young graduate students have already prepared the experimental equipment.
It's a guinea pig in a glass box.
"Look here first, here are two guinea pigs. One is 6 months old and the other is 22 months old. Can you see which guinea pig is younger?" Professor Sinclair led everyone to a place with an "i" on it. in front of the experimental box.
The question is simple.
The two white mice in the glass box, one is alive and kicking, a pair of front paws are constantly grinding their teeth, their eyes are rolling around, and their hair is shiny, as if they are always ready to escape from the cage.
The other mouse was much older, in poor spirits, and lacked vitality. His eyes were half-closed, and he was lying quietly in a corner, not moving at all. The hair is sparse and black in color.
Murdoch and Redstone were like spectators, they didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and they really gave Dunn the dominance.
As Tang En, he was naturally too lazy to answer such an idiot's question and laughed without saying a word.
Natalie smiled and said, "Professor, I'm afraid everyone can see that the mouse in the corner is older."
Professor Sinclair nodded and said, "Yes, generally speaking, a mouse has a lifespan of only 30 months. That mouse has already survived for 22 months, which is equivalent to 60 years of human beings...or 70 years old, it has already arrived. old age."
This professor may be doing too much scientific research and is really not good at wording.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Murdoch and Redstone turned ugly.
Is 70 years old?
So what are they?
They are still young!
Dunn held back his laugh and made a gesture of please, signaling him to continue.
Next, Professor Sinclair came to the "ii" experimental box, where there were still two mice.
In terms of condition and appearance, they are similar.
The eyeballs move around and the small paws scratch around, similar to the 6-month-old white mouse in the "i" experimental box.
Unexpectedly, the following words of Professor Sinclair surprised everyone who came to visit. "There are also two mice here, one is 6 months old and the other is 22 months old. Mr. Walker, you Can you tell it apart?"
The crowd stood still.
Including Dunn.
incredible!
The two mice in the front of the "ii" experimental box, it is difficult to observe with the naked eye which one is younger!
Doesn't this mean that the 22-month-old guinea pig used special means to rejuvenate itself?
Dunn opened his eyes wide and looked back at Murdoch and Redstone.
I found that these two old guys also looked shocked.
is this real?
A total of 7 people came to visit this time, including Murdoch's assistant, Redstone's secretary, Dunn's girlfriend, and a school manager.
The most important of these are naturally Dunn, Murdoch and Redstone.
Seeing all three of them looking surprised, Sinclair was in a turbulent mood and became more confident. Through our experimental method, Sinclair successfully restored a 22-month-old mouse to the physical state of 6 months. "
Natalie exclaimed, "A 6-month-old guinea pig...is equivalent to a 20-year-old human being. Professor, you mean that your experimental research has the ability to restore a 70-year-old man to his 20-year-old physical state. ? God, is this true?"
Murdoch and Redstone's breathing almost stopped.
Amazing!
Incredible.
Associate researcher Lindsay Wu next to him explained with a smile, "This is just an experiment on mice, and our research has only just begun. As for how much it will affect the human body, further research is needed. However, past medical studies have shown that, The cases that can be successful in animals are also applicable to humans, but the effects and side effects are different."
Professor Sinclair sternly said, "It is true. The success of the mouse experiment is also a source of confidence for our future exploration of the human body."
Tang En couldn't keep silent any longer, and couldn't help but ask, "How was this experiment done? I mean... how long have you been doing it?"
Professor Sinclair said, "We have been studying this topic since the laboratory was established last year, mainly because of technical difficulties. As for this experiment, it is actually very simple, and the experimental results can be obtained within a week."
"A week?"
"That's right. We extracted endogenous coenzymes from young mice in advance and made them into reagents. Then, we injected them into old mice twice a day. It only took 1 week to have such an effect."
Tang En narrowed his eyes, "You mean, this 22-month-old guinea pig who has returned to youth has only been injected for a week?"
Professor Sinclair solemnly nodded, "Indeed."
Dunn, Murdoch, and Redstone looked at each other and stopped talking.
Everything in front of them was so shocking, so shocking that they couldn't believe it was true.
A week in a mouse is equivalent to about 10 months in a human.
Wouldn't that say... the same experiment on people can rejuvenate in less than a year?
After a long silence, the eldest Lei Shidong couldn't help but say, "If you extract... that kind of active enzyme from the human body and inject it in a similar way, does that mean... that the elderly can be rejuvenated?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the laboratory changed slightly.
Although everyone's purpose is to prolong their lives, these words are too sensible.
Professor Sinclair hurriedly said, "No, Mr. Redstone, I think you may have misunderstood. This is not about rejuvenation, but the delay of aging of cells and the repair of cell damage from the inside. The signs of mice are sensitive, so they show The effect will be more obvious, as for what happens to the human body, further research is needed."
Lindsay Wu added, "The endogenous coenzyme we extracted can delay cell senescence, reduce carcinogenesis, and resist oxidation. This 22-month-old mouse's cell senescence rate has been reduced by 60."
Professor Sinclair added, "Our research is just the beginning, and there is still a lot of scientific evidence to be solved. Our research object is even limited to mice. It will take a long time to finally rise to the height of human beings. There is still a long way to go. Moreover, we currently lack the qualifications and capabilities for human experiments.”
More importantly, there are ethical issues involved.
Extracting endogenous coenzymes from mice is fine, but not for humans. Isn't it hurtful to take out the endogenous coenzymes of young people to the rich and powerful old people? This is different from organ donation, which is for the deceased. However, the extraction of internal coenzymes must be, and the volume is huge.
To be used on the human body, it must be a synthetic drug. Artificial endogenous coenzymes cannot be made, and even if there is theoretical basis and experimental basis for delaying aging in theory, it is difficult to apply them in practice.
Unless it is a black market and black-hearted scientists, they really start with living people.
To synthesize from mice to humans, from life physiques to humans, it really takes too long for scientific research.
Moreover, even if all this goes well, synthetic drugs will really appear in the future, and it will be another **** of a road to pass the FDA's review.
The fda has the strictest review mechanism in the world. What if it fails to pass? Do the super-rich like Murdoch and Redstone still eat?
Dunn did not understand the medical industry, and his foresight did not cover this field.
He really didn't know the future prospects of the project.
Just know that the risk is very high!
Super super big!
But, it's really exciting!
Continuing life, what an exciting proposition!
At this time, Professor Sinclair went on to say, "Do you know Professor Ray Kurzweil? He is the president of Singularity University. I particularly like his book "The Singularity is Near", but compared to his research in the field of artificial intelligence, I believe more in his judgment in the field of medical science. He said that within the next 20 years, human beings may be able to reprogram our bodies to stop the operation of the Stone Age genetic 'program' in the body, or even reverse the operation. This sentence sums up our work."
Ray Kurzweil?
Dunn's eyes lit up.
He really knew this man.
Currently employed by Google, mainly leading projects in the field of artificial intelligence.
At this time, Natalie said, "Professor, can I look at your experimental report?"
Professor Sinclair said with a smile, "Of course you can~www.novelbuddy.com~ Assistant Lindsay Wu brought a stack of thick documents and said with a smile, "Our experiment is the first time in human history that only simple external intervention has made it possible. Two mammals with identical genetic backgrounds acquire completely different rates of aging. We are writing a paper in this regard, which will be published in the journal Science, in the hope that more scientists and colleagues will work with us to obtain more R&D funding. "
"R&D funding?" Natalie gave her a half-smiley look, "I don't think you'll have to worry about funding again for this project."
"what?"
Lindsay Wu was slightly startled, then overjoyed.
Did the three big men agree to invest?
Tang En ignored the idea of the Chinese female scientist, but leaned over to Natalie, looked down at the experiment report, and then the whole person felt bad. All kinds of strange chemical formulas made people dizzy.
"Nate, can you understand?" Dunn smiled bitterly.
Natalie glared at him angrily, "You look down on people?"
"what?"
Tang En was stunned for a moment, can he really understand?
Lindsay Wu said with a smile, "Mr. Walker, don't you know? Miss Portman almost made it to the finals of the Intel Science Award! Did you know that the Intel Science Award? It is the second largest award in the American medical community after the Nobel Prize. "Professor Sinclair was hired at Harvard when he was only 30 years old because of this award."
"Ah, is that so?" Dunn was a little confused.
Natalie hummed, "My Erdush factor is 7!"
Dunn asked, "What is the Erdush coefficient?"
Natalie rolled her eyes, "No scientific knowledge at all! Don't bother me reading the report!"
