Science on the Rise: Starting with Cell Editors

　　"The effect of LKB1 gene downregulation on axonal development, synaptic transmission, and neuronal migration in hippocampal neurons... This is just a slight modification of the previous research topic, and there is no bright spot."

　　"Single-base gene editing technology... eh? The contributor is from Long Guo... high school students? What a joke! High school students actually developed a brand new gene editing technology?"

　　Raymond wanted to breathe out the fragrance.

　　He didn't believe that high school students in Longguo could develop a brand-new gene editing technology.

　　So, looking at this paper is a waste of his time.

　　However, according to the rules, as long as it is a submission, he must read it, at least part of it.

　　therefore.

　　Raymond struggled to read with disgust.

　　"Huh? The paper seems to be of good quality."

　　After Raymond watched for a while, the disgust in his heart disappeared, replaced by joy, his expression became more and more excited, and even his body tightened.

　　"This...this is unbelievable!"

　　After reading the paper, Raymond's heart jumped with excitement. He is proficient in biology and can judge that this paper is not a science fantasy, but a biotechnology experiment with rigorous thinking and clear logic.

　　That is to say, the high school student in the Dragon Country really developed a brand-new gene editing technology-single-base gene editing technology.

　　The most terrifying thing is that this technology is at least ten times more advanced than the current mainstream CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology.

　　Thinking of his disdain for this paper at first, Raymond just wants to say one thing now: It's delicious!

　　(The protagonist has not reported yet, so his current identity is still a high school student.)

Chapter 14 Shocking Academia

　　"Cell" magazine publishes a bi-weekly issue. Five days later, as soon as this issue came out, the "single-base gene editing technology" published on it immediately caused a sensation, and scientists from all over the world who studied gene technology were attracted. The number of these scientists is huge, because genetic technology represents the future.

　　Is your face handsome enough, whether your eyes are single or double eyelid, tall or short, how intelligent, whether you have a genetic disease, whether you are prone to infectious diseases, etc.

　　It's all determined by genes.

　　If we can freely edit genes, we can cure various genetic diseases, control cancer at the genetic level, and delay human aging.

　　The emergence of single-base gene editing technology allows researchers to edit genes more easily, which undoubtedly accelerates the development of gene editing technology.

　　So, this technology is of great significance!

　　After reading the paper, everyone screamed with excitement, the era of gene therapy is coming!We must learn this technology as soon as possible!

　　At the same time, they also have a deep admiration for the inventor of this technology!

　　However, when they saw the identity of the author of the paper, they were all stunned!

　　What the hell?

　　The person who developed the single-base gene editing technology was an 18-year-old boy from Longguo, who had just been admitted to the university and had not reported yet?

　　Immediately, doubts arose.

　　"How is it possible that an 18-year-old student develops single-base gene editing technology?"

　　"This technology is real, but the inventor of the technology is definitely not Lu Li."

　　"Longguo has an industry chain for buying and selling papers. This paper should be bought by Lu Li at a huge price."

　　In foreign academic circles, similar doubts spread rapidly, and soon spread to China.

　　When Professor Xu knew about this, he immediately stood up and stated: "I am Xu Zhongchen, and Lu Li is now my student. I guarantee by my reputation that the single-base gene editing technology was invented by Lu Li alone. Also, at the age of 18, you cannot Have you developed single-base gene editing technology? You may not know that in this world, there is a creature called genius!"

　　Professor Xu is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor of Qingda University. He has a lot of peach and plum in the world, and has a lot of influence in the academic world. As he stood up to support Lu Li, many people immediately followed him.

　　"Lu Li is the first student with a perfect score since our country resumed the college entrance examination. In the past few decades, hundreds of millions of people have taken the college entrance examination, and only Lu Li has a perfect score... This kind of evildoer cannot be viewed with ordinary people's eyes."

　　"I am Lu Li's senior brother, and I often do experiments with Lu Li. I can tell you very clearly that Lu Li is a genius among geniuses. He not only has the ability to remember, but also has extraordinary comprehension. Biology", it takes ordinary people months to learn thoroughly, but he only needs a few hours! It is no exaggeration to say that he is not a creature like us ordinary people!"

　　"Lu Li has registered a patent related to single-base gene editing technology. If he is not the inventor, could the patent belong to him?"

　　"..."

　　With more and more similar remarks, the voices questioning Lu Li became less and less.

　　At the same time, many people firmly remembered the name Lu Li.

　　They have a hunch that Lu Li will cause an uproar in the future.

　　……

　　At the same time, Lu Li's name was also widely spread in Qing University.

　　It is extremely rare for an average postgraduate doctoral student to publish a paper in a provincial journal. If he can publish a paper in a national journal, after graduation, domestic universities and companies can choose at will. Cell", "Science", "Nature" published a paper... Well, there has never been such a powerful person before!

　　But now it appears!

　　And it's not a postgraduate doctoral student, just a younger brother who hasn't reported on it yet!

　　however.

　　It was this junior who published a paper in the journal "Cell", and it was a paper with a lot of gold content, which caused a major earthquake in the entire biological world!

　　All those who study gene technology have already begun to learn the single-base gene editing technology developed by this junior!

　　This is too evil!

　　Therefore, when the news spread in Qing University, it immediately caused an uproar.

　　"Are all the juniors so fierce now? We, the senior brothers and seniors who are studying for Ph.D., almost hanged themselves with noodles in shame."

　　"My dream in my life is to publish a paper in the three major journals "Cell", "Science" and "Nature"... And this dream of mine was completed at the age of 18. Now, what kind of monster is this?"

　　"The single-base gene editing technology developed by Lu Xuedi is really good. The instructor told me that this technology will soon replace the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology and become the most mainstream gene editing technology. Let me learn it quickly. I also inquired and found that the younger brother has registered the relevant patents, and the younger brother will soon receive the money and be soft, I am really envious of me."

　　"Can I say...I don't understand Lu Xuedi's paper at all? I'm a research monk anyway, and I've been beaten to the point of autism."

　　"There may be people who don't know Lu Xuedi's identity. Let me introduce to you. He is the top student in the college entrance examination this year in Nanjiang Province. He scored a perfect 750 in the college entrance examination."

　　"I also scored 740 points in the college entrance examination, but the gap with this junior is not that big."

　　"We are all fake geniuses, only Lu Xuedi is the real genius. He scored 750 points in the college entrance examination, probably because the full score is only 750 points."

　　"That's right, I've heard that this junior is a savage, professional book with several hundred pages. He can learn it thoroughly in just three or four hours."

　　"I've decided that from today, Xuedi Lu will be my idol and my male god!"

　　"Damn it! Are you gay? I slept with you on the bunk for two years... I suddenly remembered something, one day I woke up and my butt hurt..."

　　(Big guys, today's flowers and evaluation votes are a bit small, isn't it unpleasant to write?)

Chapter 15 Ideas for Overcoming AIDS

　　This paper by Lu Li has made him stand out in academia and made him a hot star in Qing University. In addition, some companies have contacted him, wanting to take advantage of this technology that has not yet shown its value. Acquisition of patents in his hands at a lower price.

　　However, it can only be popular to this extent. After all, this technology is too far away for ordinary people, and everyone will not pay attention to it, and the media will not be very interested, unless Lu Li uses this technology to conquer AIDS, Cancer and other five major terminal diseases in the world will attract widespread attention.

　　At this time, Lu Li was planning to do this. The single-base gene editing technology was just a small test. He had already targeted terminal diseases such as AIDS and cancer.

　　These terminal illnesses that make people terrified are difficult to cure with traditional medical methods.

　　But it can be completely cured by gene therapy technology.

　　The single-base gene editing technology is the "ideal" tool for gene therapy technology.

　　It can precisely edit the target gene.

　　Qing University, library, study room.

　　After reading "The Pathogenesis of AIDS", Lu Li put it on the thick stack of books on the right hand side, and picked up "The Mystery of the Human Immune System" from the left hand side, and read it attentively.

　　After watching for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

　　"The human body's macrophages are the soldiers of the immune system, patrolling the body 24 hours a day, engulfing bacteria, viruses, cancer cells, and other pathogens."

　　"However, macrophages can't beat HIV, but instead become a dish for HIV."

　　"If I modify the genes of macrophages so that macrophages can kill HIV, they can also recognize those cells that are infected with HIV, and phagocytose and destroy those infected cells, wouldn't I be able to conquer AIDS? ?"

　　"It's a very difficult thing for ordinary scientists to do because they still don't know much about how HIV behaves when it gets into macrophages and why macrophages can't fight HIV."

　　"For me, this is a very feasible solution. I can completely control the macrophages in my body, let it devour HIV, and then figure out why it can't beat HIV, and modify the macrophages in a targeted manner. phage genes."

　　"Next, we modify the genes of macrophages so that they can recognize HIV-infected cells and engulf those cells."

　　"If it works, I just need to replicate the whole process in the lab."

　　"Okay, just do it."

　　Lu Li raised his head excitedly, put away the books on the table, and prepared to return these books before going to look for HIV.

　　Ordinary people can't avoid HIV, but Lu Li is not afraid at all. He can perfectly control every cell in his body and perform atomic-level operations on any substance in the cell.

　　HIV, as awesome as it may be, is made up of molecules, and molecules are made of atoms.

　　Lu Li can directly decompose HIV into atoms, and is he still afraid of HIV?

　　Even if it is a virus that is more powerful than HIV, as long as it enters Lu Li's body, he is a younger brother.

　　Of course, there is nothing he can do about the virus in other people's bodies.

　　However, at this moment, Lu Li found that as he stood up, more than half of the people in the study room were looking at them enthusiastically. Well, these people are all girls.

　　The fiery eyes in their eyes could not wait to melt Lu Li.

　　Lu Li was also a little helpless.

　　Since he became a star of Qingda University, he has gained more titles such as "Qingdao University Grass", "Strongest Academic Master", "Legendary Freshman", etc., and has a large number of female fans who want to attack him.

　　No matter where he goes, he is the focus of everyone, and he is often approached by girls.

　　This made Senior Sister Qin Wei nervous, for fear that he would be fascinated by some fox spirit.

　　Every time he came to the library, Senior Sister Qin Wei was with him.

　　Now, Senior Sister Qin Wei was beside him, and she also stood up, glancing murderously at the girls who wanted to attack Lu Li.

　　The old lady has not tasted the soup, you want to start.

　　Humph, kind of let the horse come over.
