Chapter 825:STAR Cells

Just when Lin Xiuyi's subordinates were waiting in Professor Gala's office with some impatience, there was finally a crisp and rhythmic knock on the door.

“Excuse me, can I come in?”

Hearing the sound of inquiries outside the door, Lin Xiu and others stood up from the sofa.

As the doorway of the office was slowly pushed open, a middle-aged man in his forties smiled and walked into the room, wearing a white coat for research and holding something that looked like a piece of information.

"It seems... you are Professor Gala, sorry to disturb you when you are busy, I am Lin Xiuyi of the police department's search department, these two are my subordinates Zhongshan Criminal and Pu Dao Criminal."

"Oh, I'm really sorry, some of the experiments are just now at a critical time, I can't get off for a while, let my student bridge claws go to you, that... he did not do anything disrespectful!" 」

“The eh?What you mean by disrespect means...”

"Ah, nothing, my students here are basically scholars' personalities, so there are some shortcomings in interpersonal communication, and since we have delayed a few police officers for such a long time, then... let's be short-sighted."

“I’m doing that too, can we start now?”

“Please start!”

...

When the crowd sat on the sofa on both sides of the coffee table, Lin Xiu saw Meiji open his notebook, so he turned back to ask the other party:

"In fact, before the formal inquiry, I was very interested in the research you were engaged in, so... can you be tired of introducing me to this layman, what kind of research do you are engaged in?"

“The yin.This... this... it’s not a word or two that can be said clearly!But if it were an inappropriate analogy, I think it might be more effective to use some natural creature to illustrate it.”

"Oh?"Then I’ll listen to it!”

“So... I don’t know if Officer Lin knows about sea cucumbers?”

“The sea cucumbers?Oh...I still know some, although the Japanese do not like to eat, but in China, this is a very high-end food!"

“Haha... for ordinary people, perhaps the most important thing is the taste, but as a scientist, we are concerned about another characteristic of sea cucumbers, please... do you know how this weak creature escapes when it is in danger?”

“This... it’s like draining your guts to doubt your opponent, and then pick up and run away!”

"Oh!I didn’t know you knew about it, but you surprised me.”

“Where!There!I’ve only been in touch with me in the past, so I’ll know a little bit.”

Seeing Lin Xiu's modest swing, and then humbly asking himself for advice, Professor Gara suddenly seemed to have the patience to do some popular science for these police.So he continued to explain to Lin Xiu and others with great interest:

"As you say, the sea cucumber is a creature that has the characteristics of expelling its own internal organs when encountering an enemy, and then seduce the enemy with a beautiful internals, waiting for an opportunity to escape.Although this creature is so weak, it has evolved such a unique ability, which has to make people lament the magic of nature!

"It's really interesting!So... below, you’re going to explain to us why sea cucumbers have this ability?”

“I didn’t know you were interested in these things!”

"Yes, for those of us outsiders, the research you are doing is really difficult to understand, so we have to ask you a lot of advice from this expert!"

“Ah... I’m there just because I’m hunting for work!”In fact, the reason why this animal has such a ability is that it has a cell called fibrous ruin cells in its body, which is a free undifferentiated cell, which contains a complete genetic gene, and with the help of this gene can grow new cells that make up various new organs of sea cucumbers, it is precisely because of the existence of these cells that the sea cucumber can grow a new internal organ in a short time.And that’s what we, the most coveted of researchers working in regenerative medicine!”

“Well, you mean, do you want humans to grow their own organs like sea cucumbers?”

Lin Xiu once heard Professor Jialai's introduction, and asked with some curiosity.

“No, no!In fact, we only hope to grow a cell that can be differentiated into various human tissues in a laboratory environment, and if we can make such cells, then we can save more lives with this technology."

“So... the cell you’re talking about is the famous STAR cell.”

“Yes, it’s the Star cells!”We hope to be able to use the special characteristics of STAR cells to re-create or repair damaged organs or tissues in the laboratory environment, and once this technology is realized, many diseases that cannot be treated by traditional means can obtain new treatments.For example, we can use STAR cells to remake the retina, so that patients who have lost their light due to damage or lesions in the retina can be treated.

“Oh, that’s a technology big enough to change the world!”

"Haha... in fact, the research of STAR cells is just beginning to be on the right track, retinal repair technology is only the first step of our research, we are now studying how to use this cell to repair or re-create more more complex human tissue!" 」

“Oh... no wonder your work is so busy, the significance of this study is so important.”It seems... we should not have bothered you with your work!”

“Didn’t you also find out the cause of death of Mr. Wesley?”

“You seem to know that he didn’t kill himself?”

“The eh?I don't know!"

"But you said you just plainly that we came to you to find out the cause of death of Xiao Lijun, but I remember the police officer who came to visit you before... I should have told you that he committed suicide."

“Oh, this!I was just wrong for a moment, curious to ask...”

“Oh, that’s it!Can I ask you a question first?Where were you on the night of the untimely death of the man in Asa Liyang?”
