Chapter 415 Successful expression of visceral omentum gene

Lu Yongchang's proposal shocked Mao Zhengzhi a lot.

but,

Shock is shocking.

He had to admit that although it was a bit simple and crude, it was the most easily experimental method to eliminate various negative situations.

The body of the mouse is a whole after all.

The strengthening of a single tissue can easily cause a series of chain reactions.

Just like heart strengthening hormones, heart muscles are indeed greatly strengthened.

But the blood vessels have not been strengthened accordingly.

The final result is that the aorta ruptures and the genital mouse dies.

Fortunately, this happened to the guinea pig.

If it is in humans...

Mao Zhengzhi didn't even dare to think about that scene!

So, after a little thought, he nodded in agreement with Lu Yongchang's proposal.

...

With experience in preparing heart fortification hormones, the difficulty of preparing other types of hormones has suddenly decreased by a level.

Therefore, Lv Yongchang continued his glorious tradition when he was on Earth.

After executing various tasks, he once again turned his attention to another genetic engineering project.

Magna visceral omentum gene implantation engineering.

Unlike hormone projects, the technical content of this project has been greatly improved.

After all, they need to implant the gene in Magna into an adult mouse and make the gene perfectly expressed.

"Has the secondary compilation of the visceral omentum gene been completed?"

Lu Yongchang asked Mao Zhengzhi while walking towards another laboratory bench.

“Just soon after.”

Mao Zhengzhi quickly responded: "They are currently checking. If nothing unexpected happens, the experiment can be started soon."

Lu Yongchang nodded and accelerated his pace a little bit again.

...

Gene editing of adult mice is not difficult to achieve.

As early as the Earth Age, humans had initially mastered relevant technologies.

Crispr/cas gene editing system.

Crispr, a repeat sequence within the genome of a prokaryotic organism.

Viruses can integrate their genes into bacteria and use bacteria to complete gene replication.

Similarly, in the face of virus invasion, bacteria have also evolved a system called Crispr-cas9.

This system allows viral genes to be removed from the bacteria's genome.

This is the immune system unique to bacteria.

Through the study of the Crispr-cas9 system, humans have successfully mastered the Crispr/cas gene editing system.

Through this accurate and inexpensive gene editing system, humans have initially achieved control of genes.

With the development of time, this technology has become very mature as of today.

After completing a series of preparations, it can easily implant the target gene into the genome of the target organism.

For example, the guinea pig.

For example, human individuals.

Of course, as of now, the technology of human gene editing is still a science and technology restriction zone.

That is to say, they cannot use this technology for humans at present.

But this does not prevent the experiment from proceeding.

After all, the subject of the experiment is now a guinea pig.

As for what to do after the experiment is successful, Lu Yongchang has already made preparations.

first.

He needs to submit the proposal to the Academy of Sciences and the United Nations Parliament.

In order to ensure the safety of human civilization, this kind of "forbidden" technology not only requires permission from the Academy of Sciences, but also requires the consent of the parliament.

Even at a necessary moment, a referendum on all mankind must be held to vote.

Of course, as the chief scientist, he is confident of getting support from the Academy of Sciences.

only……

In terms of parliament, it depends on Hong Qiming's ability.

"Professor, all preparations have been completed."

Mao Zhengzhi's voice interrupted Lu Yongchang's thoughts.

He shook his head and threw some of the worries in his heart behind him.

The experiment has not been successful yet, so I am worried about what it is.

Under the gaze of everyone, a nanorobot with silvery white glowing was slowly injected into the body of the experimental mouse.

These hundreds of teenage mice obviously don’t know what has entered their bodies.

After breaking free from the constraints of the robotic hand, they ran to a corner of the glass cage and used food to relieve their panic.

Under the control of zero, these nanorobots began "invading behavior" as soon as they entered the blood vessels.

They find the epithelial tissue and connective tissue of the target organ and inject the Magna visceral omentum gene carried inside into cells.

Under the influence of the crispr/cas gene editing system, these foreign genes were unconsciously integrated into the genome of the mice.

Next, it is the process of waiting for the visceral omentum gene to take effect.

"Hopefully it will succeed."

Mao Zhengzhi, who was standing beside him, stared at the little white mouse in the glass cage and murmured to himself.

...

A few days later.

As soon as Lu Yongchang entered the laboratory gate, he heard a burst of cheers.

"professor!"

"Success!"

Mao Zhengzhi ran to Lu Yongchang excitedly, reached out and held his hands tightly, shook them hard and said, "Professor, we have succeeded!"

Lu Yongchang was slightly stunned and then reacted.

A faint joy rose in his eyes: "Has the visceral omentum gene been successfully expressed?"

Mao Zhengzhi nodded repeatedly and reached out to open the holographic projector beside him.

"Just now, we cut a small mouth into the abdomen of a little mouse and made a simple observation with the help of an endoscope."

"This is what the endoscope sees."

As he finished speaking, a red and white image appeared in front of him.

The red one is naturally the slowly wriggling internal organs of the mouse.

Judging from the shape, it should be its intestine.

Unlike the normal smooth-looking intestine, the mouse has light white meridian-like substances spread on the outer skin of the intestine.

These meridian-like substances are connected to each other to form a complete omentum, which perfectly wraps the mouse's intestinal tissue.

This scene is exactly the same as the anatomical diagram of Magna's visceral in Proxima civilization materials!

However, the meridian-like substances on the surface of Magna's internal organs are thicker and more obvious.

Considering the size of the mouse, this subtle difference is acceptable.

"How is the physical condition of the guinea pig?"

Lu Yongchang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

Compared with the successful expression of genes, he paid more attention to the physical condition of these mice.

If this gene will cause abnormalities in the mice, it is obviously not a successful experiment.

“So far, no obvious abnormalities have been found!”
