Chapter 598 Stem Cell Reversal

This feeling is like using a high-precision scale to weigh the mass of an elephant.

Not only is it unnecessary in terms of accuracy, but it is also unsatisfactory in terms of range.

Thinking of this, Xu You hurriedly withdrew from the quantum simulation state, and turned on the brain simulation state.

After switching to a skill that consumes less vitality, Xu You finally doesn't have such a big psychological burden, and can enjoy the time of using vitality to the fullest.

In many cases, the most expensive thing is not the most suitable, the key is to look at the matching degree between the two.

Sure enough, when Xu You used this kind of simulation state with lower precision, it was easier to simulate activities at various cellular levels.

Relying on the relevant knowledge of various stem cells that he had just mastered, Xu You simulated the process of bone structure generation and continuously completed various deduction.

From the very beginning, the osteoblasts at the break want, disappear.

Hematopoietic bone marrow begins to appear in the bone cavity.

Until the periosteum begins to form and continues to thicken.

Then blood vessels begin to form, and the broken bone begins to heal and grow.

In the whole series of processes, each bone repair process was clearly presented in Xu You's mind.

After some simulations with a high degree of restoration, Xu You has basically determined that there is a possibility to solve the problem in this direction.

"The question that needs to be considered now is how to realize the return of the totipotent stem cells." Xu You thought in his heart.

Stem cells do not all have universal differentiation. For example, pluripotent stem cells such as embryonic stem cells can have unlimited proliferation and unlimited differentiation. However, unipotent stem cells such as hematopoietic stem cells have only a few related functions such as hematopoiesis.

To achieve stronger and more comprehensive effects, stem cells need to be more versatile.

And the totipotent stem cells we need are only available during embryonic development. After embryonic development, these totipotent stem cells are no longer present.

How to make cells "reverse" and return to the stage of becoming totipotent stem cells is one of the biggest difficulties in solving this problem.

After coming out of the brain simulation state, Xu You continued to think about this problem.

"According to some papers, some chemical molecules can achieve the 'reversal' of cells to a certain extent. As long as we simulate and calculate the effects of a large number of various chemical molecules on cells, it is possible to produce The combination of chemical molecules we need."

Thinking of this, Xu You knew that the subject this time was inseparable from quantum computers.

The extremely strong computing power possessed by quantum computers can not only complete various complex mathematical and physical calculations, but also have very important applications in the fields of biology and medicine.

A recent research result of quantum computers has successfully predicted hundreds of millions of protein structures, and maintained a very high prediction success rate.

This achievement has greatly enriched the human protein information base and is of great help to many fields of biology and medicine.

Xu You couldn't help feeling a little thankful. Fortunately, he had participated in the research of the quantum computer project early on, and now he has such a powerful technology to help him in his research work.

If it is replaced by a supercomputer, or other more ordinary computers, it may not be able to complete the same calculation for tens of thousands of years.

In order to complete related calculations faster, this time Xu You did not use the Fulong mini quantum machine, but directly came to the Quanjing Quantum Laboratory, and used the most powerful Quanjing Quantum Computer to complete the stem cell reversal. calculate.

The computational quantum computer with more qubits has a calculation speed several times that of the Fulong mini quantum machine, and is more suitable for such huge calculation problems.

"The amount of calculation for this problem far exceeds that of the previous superconducting problem. Even with a quantum computer, it is difficult to complete the calculation in a short time."

After arranging the relevant calculation procedures, Xu You put the matter aside and only waited for the final calculation results to be released.

in a few days.

Xu You came to the Mathematical Quantum Laboratory again to check the calculation results of these days.

Calculations about the effects of various combinations of chemical molecules on somatic and stem cells are far from over.

After all, the types of chemical molecular combinations are infinite, and the influence of each molecular combination on cells requires very complicated calculations, so the overall calculation amount is very large.

However, through calculations these days, some expected calculation results have been obtained.

As before, because this is only a predictive calculation, the impact of each group of chemical molecule combinations on somatic cells and stem cells will eventually be displayed with a percentage probability value.

The higher the probability value, the easier it is for somatic cells and stem cells to achieve "reversal" and restore them to more functional pluripotent stem cells, or even totipotent stem cells.

Through the review of the data, Xu You found several sets of data with very good calculation results, which have a high probability of reversing somatic cells into stem cells, and reversing unipotent and pluripotent stem cells into totipotent stem cells.

"The probability value of more than 95% is already very high. Even if there may be some errors in the calculation formula of the simulation model, these combinations are still worth experimenting."

Thinking of this, Xu You got in touch with Luo Wenkun.

"Xu You, what's wrong?"

"Wen Kun, I want to discuss some issues with the experts from Fulong Medical. I don't know if it is convenient for these experts to come over."

Hearing Xu You's thoughts, Luo Wenkun replied straightforwardly:

"Of course, Fulong Medical has our own laboratory in Jijing University, which was very convenient in the past. In this way, I will say hello to the experts first, and let them go to see you when they have time."

Luo Wenkun didn't know what Xu You wanted to do with these experts, but since it was Xu You's idea, Luo Wenkun would unconditionally support it.

Soon, Luo Wenkun called Xu You back.

"Xu You, if you have time tonight, I'll let the experts go find you."

"No problem, then it's settled." Xu You replied.

When not on business, Xu You has always been very free in his time, and can arrange his time according to his work.

For such an important matter, Xu You naturally had to give priority to it.

In the evening, several experts from Fulong Medical came to Xu You's office. Xu You warmly received them and asked Cui Ying to make a pot of good tea for him.

"Academician Xu, Mr. Luo said that you have something to discuss with us. I don't know what it is?"
