"In fact, this is the case. Mr. Jin has two directions for our future scientific research directions, one is artificial skin and the other is artificial cornea."

As soon as Scott spoke, Jin Muchen immediately became interested. He originally thought that these two guys would continue to conduct research on the bones they were good at. Unexpectedly, these guys actually shot and directly put their future research directions on human tissues. Moreover, both directions sounded very good.

"Oh? Tell me quickly."

Jin Muchen asked Scott in high spirits. Scott was also very happy to see him calling like this. Jin Muchen's attitude means that the possibility of he agreeing to invest is very high, so that the institute's future funds will be settled.

"The issue of artificial skin seems to have become a hot topic now. Recently, many companies have been engaged in research in this area, especially in the past two years, many foreign funds have entered the field of unexpected equipment manufacturing, because everyone knows that this high profit and can even be said to be a huge profit. However, because General Electric was the first to develop in this field, coupled with Siemens in Germany and other companies, they have also been deeply engaged in this field for many years. They have many patents in their hands, which has invisibly created many obstacles for latecomers. Nowadays, new companies entering the medical device field are all facing the problem of patent protection, so many latecomers have no idea how to start. However, with the rise of the concept of regenerative medicine in recent years, especially with the rise of the concept of regenerative medicine,

It is the increasingly mature 3D printing technology. More and more companies are starting to focus on the trend of combining 3D printing technology and medicine. More and more large companies are starting to spend money here. For example, a few days ago, the richest man in Xiangjiang invested in a 3D printing company in the United States. The company he invested in claims that it specializes in using 3D printing technology to produce artificial leather and artificial meat. But everyone in our industry knows that it is just a cover. In fact, their real purpose is to produce artificial organs... So 3D printing human organs are really popular now, and Smith and I have also noticed this trend, so when we determine our future scientific research direction, we will consider this aspect..."

Scott said a lot as soon as he opened his mouth, but after he introduced this, Jin Muchen roughly understood. It seems that their future scientific research direction is still the application of this 3D printing technology in the reconstruction of human body tracheal replacement, which sounds really interesting.

"When Smith and I chose this future scientific research direction together, we chose these two items from a lot of development suggestions and directions. Smith believes that artificial skin will make great achievements in the future, because now millions of people around the world will suffer from scalds and burns every year for various reasons, which requires skin grafting. In recent years, they usually choose a piece of skin from a certain part of their body for transplantation. However, in this way, severe scars will inevitably be left on the body, which is very unfavorable to the recovery of the injured. If we study artificial skin, we will definitely make great achievements in the future in this market. On the other hand, these artificial skins can not only be supplied to patients with scalds and burns, but also to plastic surgery hospitals. In recent years, there have been millions of plastic surgery in the world every year, so he believes that this is definitely a great achievement."

Scott first talked about the scientific research direction his deputy Smith suggested to choose. Jin Muchen roughly guessed when he heard what he said. It seemed that this guy had a conflict with Smith in this regard. It seemed that he disagreed with him and studied artificial skin, which made Smith annoyed and finally gave Smith a vacation.

But at this time, Jin Muchen could not be too smart. He just smiled and nodded: "Well, it sounds like Smith's suggestion is indeed good."

When Scott heard Jin Muchen say this, he immediately unconsciously sat up straight, and then looked at Jin Muchen very seriously and said.

"Mr. Jin, you can't think so. I think the future prospects of this artificial skin are very limited."

"Oh? Then why do you have such a perception?"

Jin Muchen asked Scott with a smile at this time. Scott sat upright at this time, and even unconsciously sorted out his tie, acting like a newcomer coming to the interview.

"I think so. With our current technology, it is not difficult to produce such artificial skin. It is nothing more than purchasing a large amount of pig skin, extracting and culturing stem cells from it. Finally, using the collagen in the pig skin, using 3 printing technology to reverse the reduction, just to restore the pig skin to artificial skin, and it is more in line with the human system. This technology is actually not very difficult, but the difficulty lies in the promotion of the market. Although it is a good thing for patients to produce such artificial skin, in fact, not everyone can afford such artificial skin. I have made an estimate. If we follow our production costs, plus some profits and taxes.

After waiting, it will take about 5,000 US dollars to transplant an artificial skin of one square centimeter. In addition to other fees charged by the hospital, the cost of transplanting an artificial skin of one square centimeter may be as high as tens of thousands of dollars. Not everyone can afford such an expensive surgery. I believe that many patients with scalds or burns will directly choose to retreat and not undergo surgery when they hear such a quote. After all, they cannot die without skin. After a while, the human body will create another layer of skin. Although the newly created skin is ugly and its immune ability is not as good as the original one, such skin at least does not need to be spent on money, so I am very unfavorable. The marketing promotion of this artificial skin..."

What Scott said is reasonable and Jin Muchen thought it was very reasonable when he heard it. Indeed, if this artificial skin is produced in the United States, coupled with labor and various taxes, it will definitely be extremely expensive, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to bear it.

Even Americans with social security will definitely not be able to afford such surgery. You should know that in the United States, if you don’t have insurance, you will look down on doctors and cannot afford to come to the hospital.

Now that Scott said, this artificial skin is so expensive and the cost should be very high. In the future, it will be a problem in marketing. After all, not everyone is so rich. The hospitalization fee of tens of thousands of dollars will make many American families lose their money.

And if this thing is taken to China, it will be the same. Rich people naturally don’t care, but poor people can’t afford to transplant it at all. After all, this skin doesn’t want to be bones and joints.

If the bones and joints are not good, it will be difficult for you to walk, and it will hurt every day, but the skin will be different. Although this thing will hurt for a while, it will at least not die. After it is cured, it will be ugly, but at least it will not affect the quality of life too much.

So most ordinary people will definitely not undergo such expensive surgery.

From this point of view, this artificial skin is really not very big.

Jin Muchen nodded, and seeing his statement, Scott also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was not optimistic about this direction. If Jin Muchen rejected it, he would lose face in the research institute.

Jin Muchen didn't say support or objected, but just nodded at Scot and signaled him to continue, "Don't you have two scientific research directions? The other one, continue..."

As soon as Scott heard this, he immediately became energetic, because this direction, but the scientific research direction he chose, if he could get the recognition of Jin Muchen, he could completely kick Smith out.

"I have actually learned artificial corneal technology before. When I was working in the research institute on the West Coast, I actually had contact with it. However, I only had some ideas at that time and did not put it into practice immediately. But now I think the conditions are relatively mature. Artificial corneals are actually the cultivation of qualified corneal endothelium outside the human body. This is the key technology for artificial corneals. In the past, everyone knew how to make artificial corneals, but in terms of how to cultivate the corneal endothelium outside the body, they have always been technically restricted. However, with the development of science and technology, the technology in this area has matured. When I was working in the research institute on the West Coast, I had actually had certain ideas and had done a considerable number of experiments. I have basically figured out the key to the technical problems. Now I am still missing the final large-scale production and clinical trials..."

Scott's words brought endless surprises to Jin Muchen. This is a good thing. If the artificial cornea technology is made, it would be a good thing to make a fortune.

You should know that many people in the world are now blind because of various reasons. Some are caused by innate disability, while others are caused by acquired disasters, so they are trapped in a dark state of life.

He remembered that he once saw a report on an International Eye Love Day, which said that now there are about 10 million people who are blind due to cornea shedding or cornea disease around the world, and in China, this number is more than one million...
