Returning from the low-demon world, starting with artificial intelligence Chapter 204: Hematopoietic stem cell cultivation technology

The female version of Steve Jobs fell, along with her company valued at more than 60 billion and her worth of 27 billion.

Although Umbrella was beating, and the powerful performance of the 'Red Queen' was demonstrated, when all the people who were beaten before fell down, many people expected that Yin Elizabeth Holmes would also fall.

But when this moment came, the issues related to academia were also fully reported.

I thought this was a noble place, a piece of pure land, but now I found that it was also a land of chicken feathers!

How much capital uses academic platforms to make profits, and how much capital uses academic circles to achieve its own goals?

This is unknown!

But judging from the few people who were beaten out, it must be a lot!

Take the most successful one, Elizabeth Holmes, as an example, a company with a valuation of 60 billion!

Are there any others that have not been discovered?

Will someone use their advantages in academia to provide some guidance on the advantages and disadvantages of oil and wine types?

Or go deep into various items in life!

At this time, "Naturally" was the first top magazine to stand up and publicly said

"We can try to accept the preliminary review by the 'Red Queen', but it will require a transition period. If Umbrella is willing to open the interface, we are willing to try to submit half of the manuscript to the 'Red Queen', and we will be responsible for half manually."

A mediocre choice.

Now that the limelight has become so hot, if they don't show any signs, it may cause even greater trouble!

After all, whether it was academic discrimination before or academic fraud later, this is indeed the scandal they created.

Especially after the explosion of Yin Elizabeth Holmes, it aroused a lot of condemnation. Those capitals that lost money due to investment pointed the finger at them, because they were the ones who failed to control the situation!

So much money wasted!

With the leadership and template in place, many top academic journals gradually made the same choice, even domestic journals!

Because there are hidden problems like this in academia both at home and abroad, and it would definitely be a good thing if they could be eliminated.

At this point, the ‘Red Queen’ came into contact with her first business, which was regarded as a charity business, reviewing manuscripts!

With this convenience, Wang Yi can get the latest research papers as soon as possible.

Well, since the 'Red Queen' was designed by him, Lin Shiqin can take over it at any time, or even temporarily replace it. It can almost be regarded as Lin Shiqin's electronic subroutine.

It was not until the major journals caught up with the pace, and even saw that the East was following suit, that many netizens in the West stopped with satisfaction. They all looked like victorious generals returning home with their trophies and hung up.

On the second-hand trading website.

What frightened some domestic netizens was that the short, fat Mexican Lida, who announced that she would participate in the beauty pageant, actually signed up to participate in the beauty pageant and passed the primary election with a vote advantage that far exceeded everyone else behind her.

A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

Although she has just passed the primary election, judging from her vote rate, there is a high probability that she will be the champion.

"No! Are you going to win the beauty pageant?"

"I support this aunt's criticism, but the beauty pageant..., 'horror'"

"What kind of magic is this? Is there something wrong with my aesthetics? Is there such a big gap between the East and the West?"

"I finally know why they think squinting looks good."

"Don't have stereotypes, find the inner beauty, be scary."

And just when the rumors here have calmed down a little, people on the Internet are still immersed in the aftermath of the incident, and are waiting for Umbrella to commercialize the 'Red Queen' function.

Umbrella made a high-profile announcement on its official website about the latest result they had discovered, a result they had mentioned in their previous exchanges with Piero's laboratory, to bring this academic action to an end.

"Umbrella hereby announces that we have made a major breakthrough in the in vitro culture of hematopoietic stem cells. It only takes less than a month to culture enough hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation. We will increase the external supply of culture media to ensure that

Hospitals that meet surgical qualifications can apply for quotas from our company."

In fact, Piero also said before that the cultivation process and purification process can be accelerated with the help of Umbrella's culture medium.

But obviously, what he can do, several experimental teams that Umbrella invited have already put this project into practice!

Now it’s official!

There are 4 million leukemia patients in China alone, and the number is increasing by 40,000 every year!

Some leukemias can be controlled through medication, such as the plot in "The God of Medicine," but for some patients with acute leukemia, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only life-saving solution!

Not only is it difficult to match hematopoietic stem cells, but there are also very few people who are really willing to donate. In this case, the number of lucky patients who can receive transplants is actually limited, and the number of transplants each year is about 10,000.

And among these patients, only about 60% succeed in the end!

The most difficult part of this process is the early stage chemotherapy and the ‘myeloablative treatment’ of the patient’s bone marrow, as well as the late stage immune rejection.

Complications of immune rejection are a major problem in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, even if matching is successful.

Now Umbrella directly uses the patient's own healthy hematopoietic stem cells to cultivate and then implant them. The success rate of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can reach more than 90%!

It’s just that previous autologous stem cell transplants were usually targeted at other tumors. The patient’s stem cells were first extracted, then chemotherapy was performed, and then the patient’s own stem cells were returned and implanted. These stem cells may also be mixed with tumor cells. This is just one example.

a way to prolong survival.

But Umbrella's technology is different. After extracting the patient's stem cells, you only need to find one effective stem cell to start cultivating it!

And because of the magical properties of the culture medium itself, the cultured stem cells may be healthier.

When Umbrella's official announcement was completed and sent directly to Nature Submission through the 'Red Queen', it immediately caused an uproar.

Is your Umbrella company going to heaven?

Killing like crazy!

Umbrella's submission was naturally a reciprocal, after all, this was the first top publication to publicly support the Red Queen.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Regardless of whether it is stone removal or vaccination, although many people will benefit from it, it is not considered "imminent" in nature, because most people don't actually care about it.

Although the subsequent hepatitis B-specific immune globulin is a breakthrough in the field of viruses and a milestone, before its introduction, hepatitis B could also be effectively controlled after combined use of drugs!

It is not a fatal disease like leukemia.

But once it succeeds this time and becomes popular, it will be a real life-saving thing!

Of course, because in addition to culture media, this cultivation process also requires identifying effective cells from the patient's body and spending time cultivating them, the cost is essentially much higher than the previous seven hundred and one courses of hepatitis B-specific immunoglobulin treatment.

.

Although the cost of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is much cheaper than that of allogeneic transplantation, and the follow-up costs are also lower, it still costs about 100,000 yuan. Coupled with the cost of cultivation itself, the overall price is still not cheap.

But at least this provides a life-saving channel, so you don’t have to wait hard for a match! Waiting for a donor!

This is a technology that can truly save lives immediately!

Moreover, Umbrella actually said that hospitals qualified to perform surgeries can apply for culture medium quotas and can also arrange for personnel to come and learn the training process. This move has really aroused praise from everyone.

Even if Umbrella ultimately wants to sell culture media to make money, and the price of culture media is not cheap, at least this behavior will be favored by most people.

The only ones who are hostile are probably some institutions researching targeted drugs for leukemia...
Chapter completed!
