When Su Yun was searching for relevant information, he suddenly saw a picture. He frowned and turned it over immediately.
"Boss, every time I see people eating bats, I feel that this kind of seeking death can no longer be described in words." Su Yun frowned and said with some disgust.
"Well, have you seen Wilderness Survival?"
"I've seen it." Su Yun said, "You said it was the one by Bear Grylls. He is the one I was about to talk about. Mr. Bei really dared to eat anything. Survival in the wilderness, many things were eaten directly. But that was Britain. The special forces have studied for countless years and accumulated experience. Dead zebra meat, elephant dung juice... it's disgusting to look at."
"Well, in the episode where he ate the bat, I saw it took five hours to bake, and his hands were shaking when he ate it." Zheng Ren said.
"Bat sashimi... and soup... ugh." Su Yun sighed, "This thing looks cold and evil. Mr. Yuan has already prevented us from starving, so why do we still eat these things."
"Bats themselves carry a large number of viruses. They have no reaction to viruses, which may be their self-defense weapons. It is estimated that without these viruses, bats would have become extinct long ago, and there would be no need to wait for white-nose syndrome." Zheng Rendao.
"Someone has studied the immunity of bats to viruses in an attempt to find new ways to treat viruses. Then they discovered... bats don't respond to viruses at all." Zheng Ren sighed, "So bats are very powerful. From a certain perspective, it is the most awesome mammal, so you should be in awe of it.”
"Speaking of which, what is the longevity you are talking about?" Su Yun asked.
"Bats are the only mammals that are not restricted by terrain..." Zheng Ren said.
"You can just say it can fly. It's like giving a report without saying anything." Su Yun interrupted his boss's words with disdain.
"I'm afraid you'll make a fuss." Zheng Ren said calmly.
"Let's talk about serious things." Su Yun changed the subject.
"As I said just now, bats have very unusual genes related to DNA damage repair. It can be said that bats have a high ability to repair DNA damage.
In other words, the increase in metabolic rate caused by flying makes DNA damage more likely to occur. In the long-term evolution, bats have resisted by improving their DNA damage repair ability. "
"The background expression level of heat shock proteins in bat cells is very high, and genes related to the type I interferon pathway will also provide new ideas for future clinical drug research."
"There are also studies saying that bats lack genes of the PYHIN family, so inflammation is rare, and tumors related to inflammation and abnormal proliferation of cells are also rare."
Zheng Ren said some fragments intermittently. As he spoke, he summarized and reflected on himself to make his words more perfect.
"In other words, white-nose syndrome, when bats are infected with fungi, is a side effect of their ability to resist tumors?!" Su Yun asked.
"It's possible, this is also the purpose of Christian's research." Zheng Rendao, "But to save bats, the preliminary results can cure cancer first, which is really an unexpected gain. And Kerry's research... If it can be done through bat genes If our research can conquer tumors, it will have far-reaching significance."
"Boss, pay attention to your wording." Su Yundao said, "For us humans, being able to cure cancer is a huge thing."
"Who knows, maybe opening a Pandora's box will trigger a series of side effects." Zheng Ren said, "Who knows what it will look like in the end."
"The bat chose to fly, so its metabolic rate will increase, so the level of oxidative stress will also increase. To combat these consequences of flying, bats have evolved to adapt to high levels of DNA damage repair."
"It's not that bats chose to fly, but that only bats are the only group of mammals that can fly." Zheng Rendao, "Sometimes we think that natural selection is full of bizarre fates. Creatures that could have ruled the earth were replaced by fungi. And die."
"I have never thought that bats can rule the earth, that's what you think. But when I was a kid, my family said that bats are flying mice, and they are the two largest mammals. Boss, can you count them if they look like that? Where are the many?" Su Yun's questions are always strange.
"Don't be ridiculous, what we are saying is that bats cannot resist fungi." Zheng Ren said, "If Christian's research has results, I am afraid that bats will have no natural enemies for the time being."
"Why don't you save the world, save humanity?"
"Just like what we are doing, Christian is to save bats, we are to save small stones and cure cancer. After passing this hurdle, there will definitely be another mountain." Zheng Rendao, "So it's perfect The body does not exist..."
"You bastard, what are you afraid to say?" Su Yun said scornfully, "The final direction of evolution must be the spiritual body."
"The mental body also has a lot of problems."
"It's getting further and further!" Su Yun immediately stopped Zheng Ren, "Boss, you said that bats have a stronger background level of innate immune response system, so they rarely or never get sick when they carry viruses. This is Can a little bit be used to develop some drugs to treat the virus?"
"We don't have money." Zheng Rendao, "This research is not something we can do. If a large laboratory is thrown into it and we don't know how much money it will cost for ten or twenty years, we may not be able to achieve results."
Su Yun shrugged.
“If we can solve the problem of human immunity to viruses once and for all, who knows what will happen next.”
"You are too pessimistic. Take one step at a time and look at the present moment. I remember you said this. Why did you split yourself up?" Su Yun said with disdain.
"So, let's ponder the small stones first." Zheng Rendao, "Bats are the second largest group of mammals after rodents, accounting for 20% of the world's mammal species, with more than 1,300 species. And they are extremely widely distributed, in the North and South Poles. Bats exist everywhere in the world. And bats have a long history, which can be traced back to almost 50 million years ago."
"Christian's research is very careful and cautious. We don't have this condition, and I am not very interested in this research. In fact, sometimes I suddenly feel that there is nothing wrong with choosing basic research at that time, but I am more interested in surgery."
After Zheng Ren finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Let's go, go find Chang Yue and Yi Ren for dinner." Su Yun said, "You made Christian unhappy. He didn't even have a meal at night."
"It's not that he is unhappy, but he is a little panicked and frightened after being seen through." Zheng Ren said, "He will come tomorrow with a smile and sincerity, don't worry."
