"Is it really useful?" In the past, Zhou Litao had only heard all kinds of rumors about an old man in a certain place doing experiments to earn money and regularly changing blood. Later, he found out that he rarely fell sick and looked younger than his peers.
Rumor had it that after the experiment, the old man still wanted to regularly change the blood of young people to maintain this state.
At that time, after hearing it, Zhou Litao laughed it off, thinking that it was basically folklore or historical romance.
However, Boss Zheng said that the relevant experimental results were published in a top journal like Nature. That was interesting.
“Tony
Wyss-Coray collected blood from young mice and transfused it into old mice. Five weeks later, the brains of these old mice that had received blood transfusions showed obvious changes. Their learning ability, adaptability to the environment, and memory improved. Even their physical strength increased.
"Later, he did a human experiment and caused a lot of controversy. I don't know if he gave up or did it secretly," Zheng Ren said.
"However, Tony Wyss-Coray finally concluded that there is a certain component in the blood that is linked to the body's aging. In the future, we may be able to extract these substances from the blood and develop anti-aging drugs to extend human life. "
"Boss Zheng, this matter … can be done!" Zhou Litao's gaze changed.
Zheng Ren shook his head slightly. "I can only say that it is not recommended for the time being without complete verification. At present, other than blood transfusion, there is also the so-called blood cleansing, which is not recommended because the project is not mature and the risk is higher."
"Ah?"
"Limited type? Every period, dynasty, and person will have certain limitations," Zheng Ren said with a smile.
Zheng Ren said with a smile. "Just tell him that many emperors have died in the past because of alchemy. Why do you have to make it so troublesome?" Su Yun said.
"That's about it," Zheng Ren said. "Without a large number of experimental samples over a long period of time, we can't be sure if there is an effect. Moreover, whether there are any side effects of blood transfusion or whether the personality will change is uncertain. "
"Personality change?" Zhou Litao was shocked.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. There are similar cases of bone marrow transplants that prove that DNA changes. I've never heard of blood transfusion that causes personality change, "Su Yun said.
"That's because there is not enough research, or rather, it is kept secret. Just like Berta Laboratory, not all results have to be published in top journals first, "Zheng Ren said.
"It has nothing to do with what you said. Director Zhou, don't listen to the boss's nonsense. At least there are no side effects from the limited samples," Su Yun argued.
Zhou Litao swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If this was feasible, wouldn't the lifespan of humans be greatly extended in the future?
"As for the theoretical basis, it will involve a very old, almost 200-year-old experiment," Zheng Ren said. "Have you heard of mutant symbiosis?"
Zhou Litao shook his head.
Su Yun said, "I wanted to give it a try when I was performing a heart transplant on a mouse, but before I could do it, I returned to Sea City."
"Xenogeneic? Symbiosis? "Zhou Litao was a little confused. Was there no rejection?
"Mutant symbiosis is to connect two animals with different characteristics and in different states so that they can share the same blood flow. This is to study what kind of substance in the blood affects health."
"This has been going on for almost 200 years, and there's still no conclusion. It was first developed in 1864 by the French zoologist Paul Bert.
A model to study the shared circulatory system was developed by cutting the sides of two mice and then suturing the skin and muscle walls together to study the interaction between different animals through blood circulation. "
Cutting open different mice to share blood … Zhou Litao suddenly felt that this was the work of those Frankenstein monsters.
Black technology, world domination — these clichéd movies and TV dramas filled Zhou Litao's mind.
"Mutant symbiosis provided the theoretical basis for the discovery of leptin," Zheng Ren said. "When two mice are connected together, the fat one will quickly become thin. That's how the chemical leptin was discovered. "
"Boss Zheng, didn't the mouse starve to thin?" Zhou Litao asked.
"Hahaha, Director Zhou, your question is really sharp." Su Yun laughed.
Zhou Litao immediately reacted. Boss Zheng had said that this experiment provided the theoretical basis for the discovery of leptin, so it was definitely not starvation.
"The discovery of leptin won Coleman and Friedman the 2010 Lasker Prize," Zheng Ren said, "but it can't be used in humans. Nowadays, many people say that leptin can help people lose weight, but there is no theoretical basis. "
Su Yun raised his eyebrows slightly. His boss had gone in circles and finally returned to the main point — the results of animal research could not be applied to humans at all, and leptin was a classic example of this theory.
'This man is so narrow-minded,' Su Yun thought to himself as he looked at his boss with disdain.
"Using the resolution method of basic experiments, scientists mainly identified four protein molecules with different functions: CCL11, GDF11, TIMP2, and VCAM1. However, there is still a lot of debate about their effects. "
"Some substances not only do not bring benefits to people, but will also bring greater harm."
"Boss, if I were as conservative as you, there would be no more penicillin. Hurry back to the cave and go hunting every day, "Su Yun said disdainfully.
"I'm just saying that the blood exchange has not been confirmed, so it has nothing to do with what you said," Zheng Ren said. "Speaking of which, glutathione is a more interesting drug. There are many drug trials that have proven that it can indeed slow down aging. "
"Really!" Zhou Litao's eyes lit up.
"Who knows?" Zheng Ren began to be irresponsible and said casually, "No matter what, it's just a guess. The relevant pharmacological experiments are still continuing to be in-depth. Teacher Tu studied for many years before he extracted artemisinin from artemisia. "
"I think the effect of glutathione is limited. If you really want to maintain eternal youth, you still have to start studying the blood of young people," Su Yun said with a clear stance. Su Yun took a clear stand and said, "The experiment on the mice has achieved some results. Next, we will do the human experiment."
"Stop talking nonsense." Zheng Ren put out the cigarette and said with a smile, "Let's go see Cui Lao and go home for dinner."
Su Yun seemed to have a lot to say, but no matter how much he said, it was just speculation. The ancient emperors controlled the highest-end resources at that time, but they did not expect that the elixir would become a fatal poison.
Heavy metal poisoning seemed to be something that could not be avoided now, but the emperors and generals rushed to take it. Thinking about it, it was a little suicidal.
