Chapter 597 Not without counterexamples

When talking about cloning technology, Xu You couldn't help but frown.

This direction can indeed solve related problems, and even organ transplantation can also solve them.

However, cloning technology has a very big disadvantage.

"Wen Kun, if you want to use human cloning to help treat these diseases, isn't the biggest problem?"

With the current human technology, it can actually realize cloning of the human body.

There may even be some laboratories in the world who have secretly completed human cloning experiments, but they have not been announced to the public.

After all, humans are different from other creatures. If cloning people really appear, they will indeed face various problems.

Should clones have the same status as humans? Can they clone themselves and use clones to help them treat diseases?

These various problems obviously require a detailed set of standards.

"Of course, ethics is indeed a very important issue. We must not use cloning people to transplant them directly, but only cloning certain organ parts and then transplanting them to the original owner. The cloning of this organ is still

It can be accepted by the public."

Xu You nodded when he heard this. Just cloning an organ is not a complete life.

Therapeutic cloning is generally allowed in countries around the world, because as long as the purpose of cloning is not to cultivate the embryo into a complete person, but to cultivate some organs, there will be no ethical issues involved.

At this time, Xu You was still a little curious about Luo Wenkun's original intention, so he tried to ask:

"Wen Kun, why did you first think of this direction of bone regeneration?"

According to the general idea, perhaps the direction of conquering cancer and AIDS is the more popular.

Luo Wenkun paused a little when he heard this, and replied with a heavy expression:

"Actually, my father broke one leg in a car accident in his early years. Although he installed the best prosthetic limbs, he still couldn't walk as flexibly as ordinary people. So my father was able to recover his health and have complete limbs like ordinary people.

It has always been my long-cherished wish."

After listening to Luo Wenkun’s story, Xu You could also feel empathy.

If he had encountered the same thing, Xu You would definitely be more persistent than Luo Wenkun and would be determined to solve the problem of rebirth of broken limbs.

After seeing Luo Wenkun away, Xu You found Cui Ying over.

"Teacher Cui, please help me find some information related to stem cell and cloning technology. Just like before, the more quantity, the more detailed the better."

"Okay, Teacher Xu."

Although Cui Ying was a little surprised by Xu You's sudden action, she still did not ask for any reason and obediently did it.

In front of Luo Wenkun, Xu You did not tell Luo Wenkun that he wanted to help Luo Wenkun conduct related research.

After all, the fields related to biology and medicine are not Xu You's research direction, and it is not easy to conduct research from scratch.

However, Xu You is still full of confidence in this, because in many areas, Xu You has made major achievements from scratch.

Including Wang Xiangwu's artificial heart, Xu You is an achievement achieved by relying on his strong learning ability and creativity.

Xu You believed that he had this ability.

Cui Ying was very efficient and quickly found a large number of relevant information for Xu You and sent it to Xu You's office.

"Teacher Xu, the first batch of relevant information will be sent here soon. You can first look at the electronic version. The paper version has too many information. I have arranged someone to help me give it to you. I shouldn't wait too long.

"

"Okay, Teacher Cui, please trouble you, you can go and do it first."

Soon, the person Cui Ying found sent batches of information to Xu You's office.

The amount of these materials is really huge, almost all of them are filled with Xu You's desk.

Seeing the mountain of information in the office, Xu You felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

This feeling makes me feel very much like Xu You's crazily eating various learning materials when he was in school.

Although Xu You is now a top scientist in the world, it seems that outsiders don’t need to learn at all.

However, Xu You himself knew that in the face of truth, Xu You only learned a little bit of the bottom line, and the road to learning is still very long.

After turning on the deep learning state, Xu You once again felt the joy of swimming in the ocean of knowledge.

In fact, Xu You’s foundation in the field of biology is not bad. During his undergraduate studies, Xu You also studied several biology-related knowledge, and he mastered a lot of the foundation very solidly.

In the deep learning state, in just a few hours, Xu You read all the information at hand.

Xu You has also had some insights into solving the problem of broken limb regeneration.

"In nature, it is shown overall that as the biological level increases, the ability to regenerate becomes weaker and weaker. Salamander creatures can achieve complete regeneration after the limbs are missing. The same phenomenon is,

Among mammals, they are almost impossible to see." Xu You thought.

In mammals, only partial bone regeneration at some fingertips is achieved.

However, this is not completely without counterexamples.

Like a deer antler, it is a special example.

Even if an adult deer falls off, the re-growth of the antler can still be achieved.

The reason is that there is a special stem cell in the periosteum of the horn stem at the base of the antler, which can completely regenerate the antler.

According to the same idea, people can produce similar stem cells in the body, and in theory there is hope for the regeneration of broken limbs.

Next, Xu You tried to use the recently acquired quantum simulation skills to simulate various activities of human stem cells.

However, soon, Xu You discovered that the technology of quantum simulation is not suitable for cellular simulation.

"To go from the most basic quantum to forming a complete cell is a huge project in itself," Xu You sighed.

Although the cells sound very small, they can be called a behemoth compared to the various elementary particles in the microscopic world.

With current human technology, it is impossible to create a complete cell from the most basic particles.

Even Xu You did not master similar abilities.

"It seems that quantum simulation skills are not a good choice to simulate at the cellular level."

Although quantum simulation skills are an enhanced version of brain simulation skills, they are not suitable for all situations.
