Chapter 602 I am willing to take risks
A good white mouse suddenly loses a hind leg, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to their lives.
Of course, during the amputation process, we used anesthesia throughout the entire process to make them feel as little pain as possible.
Mice do not have such rich emotions like humans. They do not know what happened during this period, and the only thing they can do is to adapt to the current life as much as possible.
The experimental box provided sufficient food and water for the mice, so that they would not lose their energy supply due to the loss of one hind leg.
Shortly after specific pluripotent stem cells appeared in the mice, a new phenomenon emerged.
Some tiny periosteum and blood vessels have begun to grow on the severed limbs of some mice. This phenomenon did not appear at all in the control group that was not injected with the relevant chemical molecule combination.
And as time goes by, the phenomenon of regeneration of these severed limbs becomes more and more obvious, and can already be seen with the naked eye.
After four weeks, some of the mice had regrown their complete hind legs and resumed their lives as healthy mice.
These newly grown hind legs are no different from those of normal mice.
Of course, as the hind legs grow, the mice's physical indicators will still experience some changes.
"According to our testing of the body indicators of the mice, these mice will experience itchiness in the growing part and high body temperature during the process of re-growth of the hind legs. These symptoms are not serious overall and are part of the process of regeneration of the amputated limbs.
Normal reaction. As the severed limb grows back completely, these symptoms gradually disappear."
"Well, that's great."
With such experimental results, it is enough to prove that Xu You's plan is feasible.
Gao Mi and others also completely expressed their admiration for Xu You's talent. Xu You, a physicist, has a medical ability that far exceeds everyone's previous impression of Xu You.
Next is the experiment, where everyone continues to increase the dimensions and requirements of the experiment to make the experiment as refined as possible.
After the experiments on mice were almost perfect, everyone continued to focus on primates.
This time, we did not choose to amputate healthy primates, but selected some primates that had lost their lower limbs for experiments.
After all, primates are already very smart. If they were to be the same as mice, it would inevitably have a great impact on their psychological conditions.
What makes everyone excited is that these primates who underwent the experiment almost without exception grew new lower limbs, and there were no serious complications. At most, they only felt some itching.
, and the rise in body temperature.
This is a normal reaction during the regeneration of a severed limb. As long as you strengthen nutrition and pay attention to physical testing, there will be no other problems.
After several phases of animal experiments, it is finally about to enter the stage of human experiments.
Although previous experiments have achieved complete success, there are still differences between humans and other animals after all. The success of experiments on other animals does not 100% mean that humans can also achieve the same results.
The first batch of people to receive this treatment plan will definitely take certain risks.
Xu You informed Luo Wenkun of this result, and Luo Wenkun was very excited when he heard the good news.
"Great! This time there is really hope that my father will recover."
"Yes, Wen Kun, there is great hope. We will soon enter the human body stage of experiments. I believe it won't be long before uncle can walk normally like ordinary people."
In previous animal experiments, those animals that regrown their lower limbs could walk like other normal animals after adapting to the new lower limbs, without much difference.
Xu You believes that the same situation can also happen to humans.
The day after Xu You told Luo Wenkun the news, Luo Wenkun brought his father Luo Yong to Xu You's office to learn about the relevant situation.
"Let me introduce, this is my father Luo Yong. Dad, this is Xu You."
"Hello, Academician Xu! I have known you from Wen Kun more than ten years ago, and I am finally lucky enough to meet you today!"
"Uncle, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Xu You. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Luo Yong just walked in by himself, without even Luo Wenkun's support, which made Xu You feel a little surprised.
However, judging from the way Luo Yong walks, we can still see that he is a little different from ordinary people.
Xu You thinks that Luo Yong should use a prosthetic leg to help him walk.
"Wen Kun should have mentioned to you before that I work in an automation company and have long wanted to cooperate with Academician Xu. But considering that Academician Xu you are doing very important scientific research work, I have never dared to disturb you. Speaking of which,
, Wenkun’s ability to do Fulong Technology so well is largely due to you!”
"Uncle, you are so polite. Wen Kun has very comprehensive abilities and is born to be an entrepreneur. I am just trying my best to help Wen Kun. I am very happy to be able to help Wen Kun build such a big enterprise."
, This is something that our entire nation is proud of."
To be fair, without Luo Wenkun, it would be difficult for Xu You himself to build a company like Fulong Technology. In contrast, Xu You is still better at scientific research-related matters than at various business methods.
And Luo Wenkun has 100% trust in Xu You in the company's decision-making, making the cooperation between the two of them a strong alliance.
After a heated chat, everyone talked about the topic of today's meeting.
"Academician Xu, I heard from Wen Kun that the amputated limb regeneration project is about to enter the stage of human experimentation?"
"Yes, the experimental phase on primates has just ended, and the overall effect is very good. Once it is clinically tested on humans, my uncle can receive relevant treatments."
"Academician Xu, can you let me be the first batch of volunteers to undergo human experiments?"
When Luo Yong said this, Xu You, Luo Wenkun, Lin Shi and others were all a little unexpected.
Subconsciously, Xu You always believed that Luo Yong would wait until the relevant treatment plan was mature before he would personally carry out treatment.
"Dad, we don't need to be in a hurry to receive treatment. You are only in your fifties, so it doesn't matter if you receive treatment two years later."
"Yes, uncle, we are all very confident in the teacher's treatment plan, but after all, the first batch of volunteers who undergo human experiments may encounter some unexpected situations, so we don't need to be too anxious."
