As Xu You was talking, he seemed to suddenly think of something.

"Could it be that a similar situation happened to Lin Shi's family's relatives, and that's why Lin Shi wanted to join this project?"

Lu Zhiyao shook her head when she heard the words.

"The possibility of this is very small. After all, such cases are rare. I think a more likely situation is that Lin Shi also hopes to participate in this research to help Luo Wenkun's father regain his ordinary life."

Listening to Lu Zhiyao's analysis, Xu You also felt that this possibility was indeed very high.

"Yes, we are all good friends, it's normal for Lin Shi to have such thoughts."

Looking back, it has been more than ten years since the few people who participated in the competition first met, and they have always maintained a good relationship.

This kind of friendship is also very rare in the whole life.

"I think maybe their relationship has surpassed ordinary friendship." Lu Zhiyao said with a smile.

"Yaoyao, you mean, Luo Wenkun and Lin Shi..."

"As a woman, my sixth sense should at least be above friendship. The two of them have not been in love for so long. I think there should be a tacit understanding between them."

After being analyzed by Lu Zhiyao, Xu You felt more and more that this was indeed a possibility.

"Hey, Yaoyao, I really can't compare with you in this aspect. The two of them are really suitable. If they both really have this wish, I must match them up."

After Lin Shi returned home, she simply washed up and didn't go to bed right away. Instead, she turned on the computer and checked some information.

This is some information about the severed limb regeneration project, which also includes the chemical molecular combination predicted by Xu You.

In this regard, Lin Shi's foundation is not as good as Xu You's, and it can be said that he is a complete layman.

However, Lin Shi is still very persistent. She believes that she has the ability to learn relevant knowledge well.

Lin Shi has always been relentless in her study and scientific research, and her abundant energy allows her to maintain a good state even though she only sleeps for four hours a day.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that Lin Shi finished the night's cramming of knowledge and went back to bed to sleep.

…………

A few days later, Xu You brought Lin Shi together to the laboratory of Jijing University School of Medicine.

Everyone has made a plan for the experiment before, and starting today, the experiment will be officially carried out.

As the organizer and instructor of the experiment, Xu You will overall coordinate the entire experiment process.

Lin Shi is not in charge of any work in the experiment, but only participates in the experiment from the perspective of learning.

Everyone was a little surprised by Lin Shi's arrival, but since this was an experiment initiated by Xu You, he must have his own reasons for bringing Lin Shi here.

"Teacher, the essence of this experiment is to let some locked genes in the cells be turned on after being induced to realize the function of pluripotent or totipotent stem cells, right?"

Lin Shi immediately got to the crux of the problem, which made Xu You also nod his head.

"Yes, this is the principle in essence. We can understand that totipotent stem cells have the most comprehensive genes that allow cells to differentiate in various directions. As differentiation continues, many genes will gradually fall into silence state, losing the function of totipotent stem cells. What we have done is to reverse these processes."

In essence, these processes are all kinds of chemical reactions, so by adding some chemical molecular combinations, it is possible to achieve the reversal of cells.

Once the cells can differentiate into more fully functional pluripotent stem cells, or totipotent stem cells, the experiment is successful.

In the process of observing the progress of the experiment, Xu You also constantly compared the experimental phenomenon with the previous simulation process to see if there is a high degree of similarity.

After a period of experiments, several groups of experiments have achieved good experimental results.

"Academician Xu, the third group of experiments successfully reversed from somatic cells to unifunctional stem cells, and the eighth group of experiments successfully reversed from unipotent stem cells to pluripotent stem cells. In the reversal experiment group of totipotent stem cells, the recent situation is also in our prediction Among them, it is expected that the desired experimental results will be obtained in the near future."

Gao Mi reported the progress of these experiments to Xu You, with irrepressible joy on his expression.

To be honest, Gao Mi did not expect that Xu You could be so miraculous that he could successfully predict the combination of chemical molecules that cause the cells to have a magical reversal effect just by relying on the calculation of the simulation model of the quantum computer.

It was only after he really cooperated closely with Xu You that he realized the magic of Xu You.

"Well, very good. Professor Gao, we can arrange the next task first."

Although experiments on the reversal of totipotent stem cells have not yet been completed, this will not affect the research on the project of regeneration of severed limbs.

"Academician Xu, please tell me."

"If it is confirmed by experiments that it is indeed possible to start from somatic cells or other stem cells and revert to pluripotent stem cells, theoretically, a life can be created from an incubator. However, this is not the purpose of our research this time. Among them There are also many other difficulties to be solved. For this project, as long as we can reverse the pluripotent stem cells responsible for the development of the legs, it will be fine.”

Compared with totipotent stem cells, pluripotent stem cells do not have such comprehensive functions and cannot differentiate into any cell in the human body.

But as long as pluripotent stem cells with specific functions are obtained, the regeneration of severed limbs becomes possible.

"Academician Xu, I understand that as long as the eighteenth group of experiments can be successful, then we can start the next experiment. The current progress of this group of experiments is also very good, much faster than the progress of several groups of experiments on totipotent stem cells. , maybe it will be successful in a few days."

"Okay, Professor Lao Gao will take care of it. Once this group of experiments is successful, we will carry out animal experiments later."

Like the previous medical experiments, animal experiments must be carried out before human experiments.

This time, cute creatures like white mice will still be chosen as the species to be tested to determine the feasibility of regeneration of severed limbs.

This is a cruel thing for the little white mouse.

But for humans, such an experiment is of great significance.

These guinea pigs who sacrifice their lives for mankind deserve to be respected by mankind.

"Academician Xu, the eighteenth group of cell reversal experiments has been successful! After a stage of cultivation, the somatic and monomeric stem cells in the legs have successfully reversed into more comprehensive pluripotent stem cells. We can prepare for the next stage of experiments .”
