"Tangyuan Tangyuan, reunion. I hope we can reunite together every Spring Festival like now!" In the Liang family's restaurant, the housekeeper Fang specially asked people to put a small round table next to the big long table, and three people gathered around them. At the small round table, there really is a feeling of reunion.
Li Zheng always felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but this situation made him unable to say a word to refute.
Butler Fang divided the dumplings, then raised the cup, "Reunion for our reunion."
"For our reunion."
The three raised their glasses together, Liang Zhe glanced at Li Zheng secretly, and seeing that Li Zheng did not refute what Butler Fang had just said, he rarely showed a hint of joy on his face, and the blush even spread from behind his ears to his neck.
He was like a bottle of Coke that had been shaken, fine bubbles came out from the bottom of his heart little by little, more and more urgent, more and more.
If he could be with Li Zheng every year, when he thought of this possibility, Liang Zhe felt that his whole body was warm and even his breathing became much easier.
Li Zheng felt Liang Zhe's gaze that could be called "warm", and was stunned for a moment, and then a strange satisfaction appeared in his heart.
In this regard, he explained to himself that it is a stressful emotion called "joy" that arises when people are valued by others.
"The Liang family's ancestral home is Ningbo, so we have always had the habit of eating glutinous rice balls during Chinese New Year. In the past, when my husband and wife were there, they would make glutinous rice balls and cook them by themselves. Now, only an old man like me can cook them for my little gentleman. ."
After eating the dumplings, Steward Fang took the lead in washing the dishes himself. In his words, there is a beginning and an end. The glutinous rice balls that you make yourself are not complete until you finish eating and washing the dishes yourself.
Liang Zhe washed the fastest, frowned and rinsed with water. Even after washing, he was ordered by the housekeeper Fang to send the bowl back to the kitchen.
Therefore, Fang Butler and Li Zheng were left in the restaurant.
"I'm really happy, Mr. Xiao, that he has a friend like you. Every time Mr. Xiaoliang sees you, his eyes light up, just like when he saw Mr. and Mrs. coming home when he was a child. This child My life is miserable..."
Butler Fang talked a lot, Li Zheng listened quietly, and his "pity" for Liang Zhe became stronger in his heart.
So when Liang Zhe came back after putting out the bowl, he was greeted by Li Zheng's "kind" gaze.
"Why not! Why not yet! It's impossible! It's impossible!" There was a man's hoarse roar from the No. 2 laboratory, and Wen Wenfeng looked at the mouse in the glassware with bloodshot eyes.
Ma Wenmin took a deep breath, "Wenfeng, it's only a month now. Don't worry." For a complex scientific research result, one month's time is equivalent to a drop of water in a small river, which is really not worth mentioning. .
"One month? How many months do I have? Wenmin, I'm running out of time!" As time went by, Wenxuefeng's condition became worse and worse, with physical pain, fatigue, and psychological distress caused by repeated failures The injury made Wen Feng's tense nerves face collapse at any time.
"Let's do it again, I believe our theory is correct!"
Zhang Chao and Zhang Yuejun looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. Teacher Wen's status...
at this time.
"Bang!" The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Wen Wenfeng fell to the ground clutching his stomach without any warning.
"Wenfeng!" Ma Wenmin shouted, and pounced on him.
Zhang Chao and Zhang Yuejun also immediately put down the equipment in their hands and rushed up at the fastest speed.
"Zhang Yuejun, go and call the medical team!" Zhang Chao put his arm under Wen Wenfeng's head and immediately said to Zhang Yuejun.
Zhang Yuejun nodded vigorously and ran outside quickly. Because he ran too fast, he almost fell. Fortunately, his cerebellum was still developed, so he avoided the tragic situation of falling into a dog and eating shit.
Li Zheng has been busy writing papers this month.
The successive introduction of betadine and carbapenem antibiotics made Li Zheng's laboratory, named after a Chinese individual, in the limelight for a while.
But in these two scientific research achievements, Li Zheng's personal presence is so strong that it obscures the brilliance of the laboratory.
To consolidate the foundation of the laboratory and at the same time expand its influence in the biomedical circle, it is very important to publish several papers in heavyweight and authoritative journals.
During these three months, Li Zheng sorted out the data of all his recent scientific research projects and wrote several papers on antibiotics.
A review on antibiotics, in which he incorporates a lot of personal opinions, many of which are very directional and instructive from later generations. If someone is conducting research in this area and happens to see this article, there must be a A feeling of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.
There are also several academic papers on the non-core patented technology of carbapenem antibiotics, which were all sent to the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry.
Two weeks after the paper was sent, Smith called him in person. After praising Li Zheng, congratulations to Li Zheng for his paper.
Merck is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the United States, and naturally has a good relationship with the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry. Presumably, as soon as Li Zheng sent his paper on carbapenem antibiotics, Smith got the news.
The meaning of his call was obviously to congratulate Li Zheng by knowing the result in advance, but in fact it was to explain to Li Zheng that if he wrote something that should not be written, Merck would be able to get the news.
When Zhang Yuejun came over, Li Zheng was sorting out the sample magazine.
"Li Zheng! Mr. Wen fainted!"
Li Zheng stood up abruptly from his seat, "Where's the medical team? Have you informed me yet? Is Dr. Gong there? Call Chen Xuhua again and ask him to come to the laboratory immediately!"
Participating in this matter, what Li Zheng was most worried about was not a series of chemical reactions caused by the success or failure of academic competitions, but the body of Wen Feng. Yet the worst happened.
"How is it? Teacher Wen is all right!" When Li Zheng arrived, Dr. Gong was already carrying out the rescue.
His face was solemn, and the eyes he looked at Li Zheng and the others were not very kind.
"You are all top scholars in biology. I heard that you have also invented two new drugs. Medicine is not separated. Do you not even have the most basic medical knowledge?"
"What is advanced cancer? Do you think that a patient with advanced liver cancer has tense nerves all day long, and working in the laboratory will not affect his condition?"
Dr. Gong said unceremoniously, "What he needs is recuperation, do you know what recuperation is? No psychological pressure, leisurely recuperation, OK"
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, Li Zheng's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character. This decision was not something he could make, and Li Zheng couldn't help but look at Ma Wenmin.
Ma Wenmin bit her lower lip tightly, she took two deep breaths, and looked at Li Zheng firmly.
"I will host this project on his behalf for the time being!" She knew her husband too well. If she chose to give up this project, Wen Xuefeng might not be able to close her eyes even if she died.
Li Zheng patted Ma Wenmin's shoulder and nodded.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Ma, do you mind if I know the progress of the project?"
Because Wenxuefeng and his wife have had their research results stolen, Li Zheng has always adopted an attitude of avoiding suspicion in this project, and at the beginning of the experiment, it was clear that this project was entirely the personal project of Wenxuefeng and his wife, Li Zheng experimented The room is only responsible for providing the venue.
It was only this month that he knew the progress of the experiment was not optimistic by looking at the expressions of Wenxuefeng and his wife. Just now, he quietly asked Dr. Gong that if he didn't change his liver, Wenxuefeng would only have half a year left.
Half a year is too short and too short for a scientific research project that has no clue.
Ma Wenmin wiped the tears from his face and said gently, "Of course I don't mind."
"You know, the structure of the human ear and nose is not complicated. If you just copy the appearance, use the principles of tissue engineering, and add the skin tissue of the animal itself..." Ma Wenmin explained to Li Zheng in detail.
In fact, when Li Zheng first saw the materials of Wenxuefeng and his wife, he had already thought of the human-eared mouse in later generations. This was successfully experimented by scientists in China in 1996. Through the animal "in vitro ear regeneration" experiment, at that time Caused an uproar.
It's just a pity that although this experiment was first completed by scientists in Huaguo, after the birth of the human-eared mouse, Huaguo's technology has not made other breakthroughs, let alone its clinical application.
On the contrary, with the passage of time, Japanese and British scientists successively realized the localization of this technology, and clearly proposed the time when this technology can be applied to the human body, which is very regrettable for the Chinese biological community.
Li Zheng did not expect that as early as 1983, these two young Chinese researchers had already had this idea and worked hard to put it into practice.
But compared with the human-eared mice of later generations, the experiments of Wenxuefeng and his wife were too crude, and many directional things were wrong.
Li Zheng glanced at Wenxue Feng, who was lying on the hospital bed, with lines all over his body, and said, "Mr. Ma, let me tell you what I think."
He led everyone to Laboratory 2.
Picking up a pen, Li Zheng began to speak.
"Actually, you can change the way of thinking, artificially construct scaffolds. Extract chondrocytes from animal joints, and then culture chondrocytes into tiny spheroids in a culture tank, and then we can use a degradable plastic scaffold. Degradable plastic, I remember that this concept was mentioned by a new materials laboratory in the United States two years ago, and I can ask someone to ask. Fold the plastic into the shape of a human nose, let the cells multiply and grow on the plastic scaffold, and then enter the naked body after in vitro culture. Rat back. I think it's more likely to be successful."
Li Zheng's words made Ma Wenmin's mouth grow. She kept recording it in her hand and muttered to herself. Write and draw for about ten minutes.
"It's possible! It's possible!" she exclaimed suddenly with excitement.
She gave Li Zheng a deep look, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
"Thank you, really thank you."
Li Zheng shook his head, put down the pen with a smile, and walked out of the laboratory. This kind of technology that can benefit people, the sooner it comes out, the better.
Ma Wenmin took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.
She clapped her hands and said to Zhang Yuejun and Zhang Chao, "Come on, let's try it out as Mr. Li Zheng said."
"After the anesthesia injection, Subject 1 will lose consciousness after fifteen minutes."
"Check the device again, and after 18 minutes for the chondrocyte extraction, I hope it's a one-time success."
In the past few weeks, the Wenxuefeng project team has tried rabbit articular chondrocytes and rat xiphoid process chondrocytes. These tiny spheroids cultured from small animal chondrocytes have their limitations and are obviously not enough to support the human body. Organ construction.
The tentative goal of the Wenxuefeng project team is to successfully cultivate an "in vitro regenerative nose".
Of course, the nose cultivated with this tissue engineering principle has only decorative effect, not the function of the nose itself.
However, one of the great advantages of this technology is that it starts with cells, and the finished human nose is alive, so it can grow with the host. This is very important for children born with facial deformities.
Zhang Chao threw a set of protective clothing to Zhang Yuejun.
"Dress carefully, this is a big guy. Miss Zheng specifically told the animal husbandry to want the healthiest pig, if it suddenly wakes up while we are cutting the joints. We can rely on this to save our lives!" Zhang Chaoyi said with a serious face.
Zhang Yuejun swallowed his saliva and extracted cartilage cells. He had only done mice and rabbits before, but he had never done such large animals.
