The Return of the Black Technology of Immortal World

These are indeed the biggest benefits for disabled people, but for ordinary people, they are not of much significance.

Because whether it is re-modifying body cells to generate stem cells, or using these stem cells to generate suitable organs, they all have a unique feature, that is, they are expensive. The preparation of Yamanaka factors is only done in the laboratory and cannot reach the level of industrial production.

However, this kind of expense is very meaningful to the rich people who stand at the top of mankind, because no matter how good the match is, it cannot compare with the organs grown from their own stem cells.

Because of its rich nutrition and top-notch medical conditions in the world, wealthy people generally live to a very old age.

Many diseases are caused by accumulation over time. Even machines will inevitably have problems during their operation for seventy or eighty years or even longer.

Generally speaking, Western medicine will treat this situation first. If there is really no other way, they will simply replace the organ.

If the heart is broken, replace the heart; if the kidney is broken, replace the kidney. There is nothing in the human body that cannot be replaced. If necessary, even the head can be replaced.

In fact, at this time, the conditioning of traditional Chinese medicine seems to be more effective. After all, it focuses on the human body as a whole, rather than treating the head for headaches and the feet for foot pain.

However, it happened to catch up with the explosion of science and technology since the Industrial Revolution. Western medicine suddenly transformed from a universal bloodletting technique into modern medicine, but Chinese medicine still adheres to the baseless theory of yin and yang and the five elements, and the medical books it learns are still handed down from ancient times. In the following part, although the diagnosis and treatment methods have improved, there is really not much progress.

However, no matter how good the stem cells converted by Yamanaka Factor are, and no matter how rejected the organs are, it cannot hide the fact that the human body is aging as a whole. Even if all the organs in the body are replaced, it will be difficult to restore youthful vitality.

But another surprising discovery made by Yamanaka Factor gave these people hope of returning to their youth.

A team in the UK has developed a technology called instant reprogramming of mature cells, which can return aging cells to the state they were in when the human body was thirty years old.

Using Yamanaka factors requires exposing ordinary cells to these molecules for fifty days to reprogram them into induced pluripotent stem cells iPSCs.

However, this technology also has a flaw, that is, when you turn a cell into an iPSC, it no longer has its original function.

British scientists solved this problem by taking skin cell samples from human donors around fifty years old and then exposing them to Yamanaka factors for thirteen days to inhibit their aging.

Then the Yamanaka factor was taken out and the cells were allowed to continue to grow. Only then did they discover that these cells had returned to the state they were in when they were thirty years old. They were even more energetic than those mature cells and had the same functions.

Although it now appears that this kind of research may be more helpful for burns and skin ulcers for the time being, it may also have an impact on genes related to aging diseases.

For example, the apba2 gene related to Alzheimer's disease and the ma gene, which plays a role in cataract exacerbation, both show signs of a shift toward "younger age." Therefore, this research may also be applied to these therapeutic areas in the future.

But its greater hope lies in the future, which may bring hope for the overall rejuvenation of the human body.

The world's richest man in the United States, the CEO of Amazon, and others have provided a large amount of sponsorship for this research, hoping that one day it can be applied to humans.

It's just that according to Blue Star's technological development, this road is still far away, but one day, it will be done.

Just like cancer, it was still a terminal disease in the last century and there were not many treatments. However, in this century, the emergence of various small molecule targeted drugs and special drugs has given hope that although cancer is still a terminal disease, it can be alleviated.

Xiao Ai will also collect these new scientific and technological advances. However, as the task of developing Mars is placed as the first priority, Xiao Ai is also busy with production management, and there are also some large batches and simple talisman engravings. These technologies from Blue Star are no longer a priority in development.

Xiao Ai doesn't care about this because she is just an instrument spirit and does not have the hormones secreted by various glands in the human body, so she is always calm.

What's more, using spiritual energy to instill the body of ordinary people and cut the tendons and cleanse the marrow can achieve similar effects.

But ordinary people have limits. The aging of the body can be controlled, but the aging of the soul cannot be changed.

The lifespan limit of ordinary people is about 150 years old. Some people will reach 180 years old, but none will exceed 200 years. If you want to extend your life, in addition to cultivation, you have to have some soul magic weapons left.

However, cutting the tendons and cleansing the marrow is not something that ordinary practitioners can do. It requires at least a monk at the foundation-building stage and above, and a large amount of spiritual energy consumption.

Not to mention how long it takes for a monk to enter the foundation building stage, the consumption of spiritual energy alone is enough to deter ordinary people. After all, not everyone is Yang Qing, who has almost unlimited resources in this era of law-ending.

However, Li Lan, a student on the fourth level of Qi training who returned to Blue Star last time, witnessed his grandfather die in front of him. His parents, who had not seen each other for several years, were gradually losing their youth, and suddenly there was a sense of urgency. Feeling sad, he was afraid that when he went back in a few years, his parents would already be gray-haired and old.

Although they know that after practicing to a certain level, mortals can be rejuvenated, but they may not be able to wait for that day.

The experiments of Yamanaka Factor and British scientists gave him hope that people can return to their youth without extraordinary means.

In fact, compared to the illusory training, the more than ten years of education from Blue Star was more deeply entrenched in his heart.

What's more, he also possesses the spiritual consciousness of a cultivator. Although his spiritual consciousness is still very rough compared to Yang Qing's spiritual consciousness, and he still cannot see the internal structure of atoms clearly, in the field of molecular compounds, it is already clearer than an electron microscope.

Because of Shinya Nakayama's paper, everyone is well aware of the efficacy of the Nakayama factor. Xiao Ai even completely copied the experimental process, reagents and equipment used by him and the British team.

On Blue Star, Zhongshan factor has been tested on mice. It can promote the regeneration of mouse liver cells, and under short-term irradiation, the mice did not develop tumor lesions.

Yes, Zhongshan factor is actually a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can promote the proliferation of liver cells, and on the other hand, it can cause tumors. However, this short-term induction method seems to be very effective.

It's just that this is applied to mice. Not to mention the difference between mice and humans, Zhongshan factor can induce tumors. In the short term, there is no possibility of applying it to humans.

However, a practitioner with spiritual consciousness has far better experimental conditions than ordinary scientists, because the entire process of Zhongshan factor irradiating cells is under the observation of his spiritual consciousness.
