Chapter 26 Ivolu Cells

This happened in a very short period of time. Even the knight's dynamic vision could not fully capture it all.

Among the eight or nine knights present, only Xiang Shan, Tao Enhai himself and the knight named Bai Man reacted.

No one expected that after Tao Enhai was angered, his body moved involuntarily. He threw himself towards Xiang Shan.

Judging from the starting position, he should be trying to grab Xiang Shan's shoulders.

——Ah, according to this person's habit, it should be followed by reprimands and questions...with the attitude of an elder?

Xiangshan even remembered these. Although he still didn't know who "Dr. Tao" was, he did extract these from his memory.

"Understanding this person's behavior pattern" is more important than "memories spent with this person" - Xiangshan probably made such a choice more than two hundred years ago. The real experience spent with friends was transcribed into

The files were transferred to the hard drive rack. Now, those memories have long disappeared with the quantum hard drive.

What remains in Xiangshan's brain is "the knowledge needed to identify ourselves and the enemy."

So now Xiangshan knows that this "Doctor Tao" is a friend.

To be honest, Xiangshan quite understands Dr. Tao's current reaction. He himself doesn't like this technology called "personality masking" - whether it is true or false. At least until the bottom line is drawn from ethical and legal constraints, this kind of technology

Technology should not be misused.

And modern times happen to be an era of helplessness.

Then, Xiangshan realized another thing.

This "Doctor Tao" himself may not be in good condition.

His first step was wrong. The brain nerves gave the prosthetic body wrong instructions. Because strong emotions increased the weight of the instructions, the prosthetic body's self-correcting posture mechanism was completely overridden by the instructions.

This Dr. Tao will fall down at supersonic speed.

Xiang Shan quickly adjusted his posture, lowered his body, and wanted to reach out to catch this "old friend".

But he felt that above his hands... no, his whole body seemed to be covered with a "membrane". He was moving against a tough "membrane". This "membrane" completely covered it

Every move he makes has to fight against this invisible barrier.

This "membrane" is not a sound barrier. It is called "performance".

Xiangshan's current prosthetic body can only go so fast.

——I must have been much faster in the past than I am now.

Looking thoughtfully towards the mountain.

Then, in the violent sonic boom, Xiang Shan and Tao Enhai collided. Xiang Shan dragged Tao Enhai's waist and abdomen with his left hand and spun around on the ground several times, eliminating the terrifying power, and finally knelt down half

The posture stopped.

——It feels terrible, I have to replace the elbow and shoulder parts again...

Xiang Shan thought so.

In a cloud of smoke and dust, the stunned group of knights looked at the old knight who suddenly attacked.

Tao Enhai shook off Xiang Shan's hand: "You actually reacted... Yes. If it is close to his way of thinking, it means that certain structures of the brain are very suitable for martial arts techniques. Yes, you should indeed have a high reaction."

He clasped Xiang Shan's left shoulder with one hand: "You have a very high talent. If you are willing to practice hard, you don't need to follow these crooked ways to become a famous hero. You should have a chance to surpass that person! But you are here

What are you doing? Ah?"

The doctor was very angry: "I beg you, just let that old guy rest in peace!"

At this moment, everything in the cave was completely silent, except for the howling wind outside the cave.

The underground Pixiu was the first to speak: "Old knight, what do you mean? This is..."

Ah Tan said: "Pixiu! Stop talking!"

His hands were also shaking slightly.

Only Tao Enhai's assistant Lu Xiu was shocked and said: "Master! Calm down! Calm down! You can't have violent mood swings! Intense bioelectricity will accelerate the disease process of Ivolu cells!"

Tao Enhai then let go of Xiang Shan, but his prosthetic eyes were still locked on this man.

And Xiangshan was triggered with more memories: "Ivolu cells? Course of disease? This thing... this thing has also become a weapon?"

Ivolu cells are the world's first benchmark tumor cells derived from the nerve sheath tissue of human Yawgmoth Voigt.

Perhaps it was a flaw in the first generation of gene therapy. At that time, many tumors appeared in the body of this genetic genius, both benign and malignant. However, Tao Enhai had already found a lot of benchmarks from animal experiment data.

With human detection methods, and the best medical team in the world monitoring his body in real time, almost all lesions were eliminated immediately. Later, with the follow-up gene therapy developed by Yawgmoth, cancer no longer appeared.

.

During this process, Yawgmoth donated his own tumor cells. These cells can divide indefinitely and will not undergo apoptosis due to too many divisions.

This is an excellent experimental platform.

In early 1951, a poor African-American woman born in the United States suffered from cervical cancer. She received treatment in a hospital - simply because that hospital was one of the few institutions at that time willing to assist African-Americans. The doctor was treating her.

During the process, a piece of her lesion tissue was removed and cultured in vitro.

Then, the in vitro culture was a great success. This woman's cancer cells could rapidly divide without restriction under laboratory conditions.

However, this woman's cancer treatment was not so successful. She passed away at the end of 1951.

Perhaps it was because this woman was infected with several viruses. This resulted in her cancer cells not only being able to replicate, but also replicating themselves at a faster rate than ordinary cancer cells.

This is an intangible wealth.

This type of cell is called a "HeLa" cell. "HeLa" is the abbreviation of the poor woman's name.

The discovery of HeLa cells allows humans to break away from macaques and other near-human creatures as experimental subjects and use real living human cells without having to bear moral responsibility. They can use real human cells to undergo radiation, poison testing, or be infected with various viruses.

Things like testing vaccines and making vaccines can also rely on this kind of human cells.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The doctor who successfully cultured this cell line in vitro generously shared this woman's cells with colleagues around the world. It appeared in biology journals everywhere

The petri dish in the laboratory has become an important cornerstone of the modern global pharmaceutical and chemical industry, creating a value of tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars.

But unfortunately, the woman's husband, children and subsequent descendants did not receive any benefit. On the contrary, the DNA privacy of part of their family is being studied over and over again by biologists around the world - whether they want it or not.

Xiangshan probably still remembers—is this a memory from the Demon Cult? Or does he remember it himself?—Yawgmoth has always regarded this incident as a "major stain on the development of biology."

Therefore, he personally presided over the new donation procedures. He hired a huge legal team and signed a complex donation agreement that was feasible around the world. This agreement ensured that any of his descendants within five generations

, he can terminate this donation after feeling that this matter has violated his privacy. But the agreement also ensures that his descendants will not be able to obtain excessive material compensation from the research institution, no matter what they think.

Of course, Xiangshan also knew another thing - the reason why Yawgmoth made this donation agreement was just to leave a positive donation agreement template to the biological world. In order to prevent his descendants from interfering with the process of human science, he absolutely

He will not leave any biological children behind. If he really has emotional needs, he will adopt them.

"Haha... It was really noble at that time..." Xiang Shan felt his head hurt very much. Something "thing" was boiling in his skull: "Is this thing also a weapon? Is this thing also made into a weapon?"

Evolu Cell, taken from "evolution", means "evolution". Its original owner hopes that this benchmark human cell that can reproduce indefinitely can become an ideal human cell experimental platform like HeLa cells.

"Didn't you tease me many years ago?" Tao Enhai, who used meditation to calm down, responded disdainfully: "'This thing absorbs electric energy very efficiently. If you throw it into a nuclear power plant, it will turn into a huge monster like Godzilla.

Bar' - words like this..."

As he spoke, Tao Enhai realized something was wrong. The tone of the guy in front of him was too much like his old friend from the past - he couldn't help but think of this guy as Xiang Shan!

Anger welled up in his heart again. But this time, without asking his disciples to remind him, Tao Enhai began to meditate on his own to suppress his anger.

Xiangshan even took a second or two to accept this shocking fact.

He patted the side of his head.

We have to admit that the world will indeed change.

Soon, Tao Enhai regained his composure. He said: "Don't read some memories and think how noble our generation is. We are all human beings, the same. The third-generation modified version of Ivolu cells,

It can produce tiny spores. It only needs air with a little moisture and electricity to reproduce itself. It can paralyze electrical mechanisms and electronic equipment. Of course, if it enters the human body, it can also corrode the brain and cause death."

Xiang Shan looked Tao Enhai up and down: "Your motor nerves have been severely eroded. The ability to move freely depends entirely on the posture correction algorithm of the prosthetic body?"

Tao Enhai snorted as an admission.

"So, you need to do brain separation surgery and discard the brainstem part?"

"Well, the motor centers in the brainstem and cerebellum are not that important to prosthetic people. The organs themselves that rely on them for survival are gone, and there is no need for these nerves to direct them. We also have no muscles. As long as we don't use artificial muscle fibers, then

Expensive prosthetics actually have no impact. Even part of the functions of the limbic cortex can be replaced by computers." Tao Enhai hummed: "For humans, the neocortex is the core part. Let this part survive.

There is still hope.”
