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 quickly exited the quantum simulation state and turned on the brain simulation state.
After switching to a skill that consumes less vitality points, Xu You finally does not have such a big psychological burden and can enjoy the time of using vitality points.
Many times, the most expensive thing is not the most suitable. The key lies in the match between the two.
Sure enough, when Xu You used this lower-precision simulation state, it became easier to simulate various cellular-level activities.
Relying on the knowledge he had just mastered about various stem cells, Xu You simulated the generation process of bone structure and continued to complete various deductions.
From the beginning, the osteoblasts at the fracture site, hopefully, disappear.
Hematopoietic marrow begins to appear in the bone cavity.
The periosteum begins to form and continues to thicken.
Then blood vessels begin to form, and the broken bone begins to heal and grow.
Throughout the entire series of processes, each bone repair process was clearly presented in Xu You's mind.
After some highly reductive simulations, Xu You has basically determined that there is a possibility to solve the problem in this direction.
"The question that needs to be thought about now is how to achieve the return of omnipotent stem cells." Xu You thought in his heart.
Not all stem cells have omnipotent differentiation functions. For example, pluripotent stem cells such as embryonic stem cells can have unlimited proliferation and differentiation. Unipotent stem cells such as hematopoietic stem cells only have a few related functions such as hematopoiesis.
To achieve a more powerful and comprehensive effect, 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 available.
How to make cells "reverse" and return to the stage of 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 issue.
"According to what has been explained in some papers, some chemical molecules can achieve 'reversal' of cells to a certain extent. As long as we simulate and calculate the effects of a large number of chemical molecules on cells as before, it is possible to produce
The combination of chemical molecules we need."
Thinking of this, Xu You knew that this time's topic was inseparable from quantum computers.
Quantum computers have extremely strong computing power, which can not only complete the calculation of various complex mathematics and physics equations, but also have very important applications in biology, medicine and other fields.
A recent research result of computational quantum computers is that it 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 library and is of great help to many fields of biology and medicine.
Xu You couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he had participated in the research of the quantum computer project early, and now he had such powerful technology to help him in his research work.
If it were a supercomputer or another more ordinary computer, it might not be able to complete the same calculation for tens of thousands of years.
In order to complete the relevant calculations faster, Xu You did not use the Fulong mini quantum machine this time. Instead, he went directly to the computational quantum laboratory and used the most powerful computational quantum computer to complete the stem cell reversal.
calculate.
The calculation speed of a warp quantum computer with more qubits is several times that of the Fulon mini quantum machine, making it more suitable for such huge calculation problems.
"The amount of calculations required for this problem far exceeds the amount of calculations for previous superconducting problems. Even with a quantum computer, it is difficult to complete the calculations in a short time."
After arranging the relevant calculation procedures, Xu You put the matter aside and just waited for the final calculation results to be released.
A few days later.
Xu You came to the Sutra Calculation Quantum Laboratory again and checked the calculation results of these days.
Calculations on the effects of various combinations of chemical molecules on somatic cells and stem cells are far from over.
After all, there are infinite types of chemical molecule combinations, and the impact of each molecular combination on cells requires very complex calculations, so the overall calculation amount is very large.
However, through these days of calculations, some exciting calculation results have been obtained.
As before, because this is just a predictive calculation, the impact of each combination of chemical molecules on somatic cells and stem cells will ultimately be displayed with a percentage probability value.
The higher the probability value, the easier it is for somatic cells and stem cells to be "reversed" and restored to pluripotent stem cells with more functions, or even totipotent stem cells.
Through reviewing the data, Xu You found several sets of data with very good calculation results, which have a high probability of converting somatic cells into stem cells, and converting unipotent and pluripotent stem cells into totipotent stem cells.
"The probability value of more than 95% is already very high. Even if the calculation formula of the simulation model may have some errors, 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 wonder if it would be convenient for these experts to come over."
After hearing Xu You's thoughts, Luo Wenkun replied readily:
"Of course, Fulong Medical has its own laboratory at Jijing University, which was very convenient in the past. In this way, I will say hello to the experts first and ask them to come and 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 support it unconditionally.
Soon, Luo Wenkun called Xu You back.
"Xu You, if you have time tonight, I will ask the experts to come find you."
"No problem, that's settled." Xu You replied.
When not traveling on business, Xu You has always been very free with his time and can arrange his time according to his own work.
Xu You would naturally give priority to such an important matter.
In the evening, several experts from Fulong Medical came to Xu You's office. Xu You warmly received them and asked Cui Ying to help make a pot of good tea.
"Academician Xu, I heard from Mr. Luo that you have something you want to discuss with us. I don't know what it is specifically?"
