Chapter 958 Honest Sincerity
If, with the outbreak of technology, the material field has now become a hard-hit area for "watering", then the biomedical field... has become a hard-hit area for fraud after entering the 21st century. And it is hard to say that it is the large amount of fraud that has caused the statement that "the 21st century is the century of biological science" or the other way around.
But Su Yuanshan knew that myocardial stem cells were fake projects that were nailed to the column. When Piero Anfossa was completely withdrawn by Shihammer, the impact it caused was far greater than that of Xiaobofang Haruko, who had little foundation in the academic world. Even Su Yuanshan, a chipmaker, ate the whole process.
Perhaps, it was precisely because of Piero's success that Kobayashi Haruko and others dared to take risks like this and then be unscrupulous. At least, from Su Yuanshan's engineering thinking, it is undoubtedly necessary to be nailed to the pillar of shame when it comes to fraud in scientific research that concerns the future of human life and health.
——In 2001, Piero led a team claimed that for the first time they discovered that injecting c-kits from bone marrow (cytokine receptors) into the damaged myocardium in mice would produce new myocardium tissue.
Although multiple teams have questioned over the past two years because they cannot reproduce, Piero's reply is, you won't.
Two years later, the man became increasingly fearful and continued to post on cell, claiming that his/her myocardial repair could be achieved without bone marrow stem cells, because adult heart stem cells exist, which can be repaired by the damaged myocardial tissue after being expanded in vitro and sent back to the heart.
Although doubts have always existed, they still cannot resist the influx of countless scientific research institutions and scholars into the field of cardiomyocyte stem cells from a fire - because this means that the heart can be regenerated. This temptation is in the field of condensed matter physics. Some people claim that he discovered a normal temperature superconductor.
What’s bad is that over the long decade, a laboratory has actually achieved “similar results” and countless related papers and national-level projects have been created.
You taste it.
(The above is the author's subjective view.)
...
After briefly introducing the progress of myocardial stem cells to Ye Rudai, Ye Rudai was also a little surprised and subconsciously thought that this was a bit too much subversive.
"If you can solve your heart disease once and for all, it will be a great thing for you. But unfortunately... My scientific awareness and literacy tell me that this is not that simple." Su Yuanshan pursed his lips and said softly: "I have read related papers, and there are many questions in them, which are almost impossible to reproduce."
"So is there anything reappearing?" Ye Rudai immediately asked the key point.
"Good question...some."
"Then are your lab reappearing?"
"That's why I have to go over and take a look." Su Yuanshan pointed to his eyes: "I believe in my eyes."
"...But you are not a major in this major... This is a major in biomedical... you..." Ye Rudai frowned. She knew that her husband could not rub sand in his eyes and was extremely smart, but it was better to mix things with such interprofessional matters less.
Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "You know, besides integrated circuits and condensed matter physics, I can do it in programming too."
Ye Rudai: “…”
"Whoever dares to use my major to question my doubts, then I can't even study biomedicine. I am only thirty years old and have a certain learning ability."
Ye Rudai: "...Are you real or not?"
Su Yuanshan laughed: "Of course it's fake, but you have to give up the harsh words!"
...
On the weekend, Su Yuanshan arrived in the special zone as scheduled.
This time, his identity is more of a scholar than a boss of Yuanxin, and his student is also his own.
In the first half of this year, Bruneton and Jiang Chao graduated at the same time, and then they chose to enter the station at the same time. However, Bruneton entered the Yuanxin Station and Jiang Chao went to Columbia University.
Therefore, Su Yuanshan brought his new student this time. Liu Qin from Bo Er this year and his pioneering apprentice Gan Xiaoyu, Gan Xiaoyu, are now the deputy director of the Condensed Matter Laboratory. She accompanied Su Yuanshan, of course, not to engage in such cross-professional exchanges, but to go to the Special Administrative Region to do academic exchanges.
After a simple meeting, Gan Xiaoyu took Liu Qin to the University of the Special Administrative Region, and Su Yuanshan started chatting with several bigwigs from the Institute of Biology with great enthusiasm.
However, the boss he mainly wanted to meet this time was said to have temporarily been on the operating table. He is still in the provincial capital of Guangdong Province and will not be able to come here for a while.
Half an hour later, Su Yuanshan thought to touch the situation first, so he proposed to walk around and wait until the evening to discuss. Naturally, no one opposed his proposal - he was a physicist, all medical scientists and neuroscientists, so he couldn't talk together.
...
Accompanied by Professor Wei Sihe, the head of the Institute of Biology, Su Yuanshan came to the Cardiac Surgery Laboratory.
"Hello Professor Su, my name is Cheng Mingcheng."
"Hello, is your tutor not here?" Su Yuanshan smiled and shook hands, then sat down on the sofa, and signaled Cheng Mingcheng to sit down: "Cheng Mingcheng, is the honest Cheng behind him?"
"Yes." Cheng Mingcheng was tall and thin, looking about twenty-eight or nine out of 20, wearing glasses. After sitting down in front of Su Yuanshan, he was inevitably a little restrained and just squeezed his smile.
"Haha, from your accent, it seems like you are from the province?"
“Yes, I’m from Dazhou.”
"Oh, then we are still fellow villagers." Su Yuanshan laughed, looked at Professor Wei, and joked: "Professor Wei, I met fellow villagers, so I will use dialect."
Professor Wei laughed: "You can do whatever you want, I can understand anyway."
"That's true, Sichuan dialect almost became Mandarin..."
Su Yuanshan changed his accent, and Cheng Mingcheng's nervousness was much less visible to the naked eye, and the smile on his face was not so dry. He smiled and nodded, "Professor Su, I was actually studying for a bachelor's degree in West China."
"Oh, then why do you think of coming here?"
"Well...mainly, by comparison, West China is not that outstanding in the cardiovascular field..."
"Well, indeed, it is unlikely that a hospital can achieve comprehensive all areas. West China has developed in the field of brain nerves over the years." Su Yuanshan looked back at Professor Wei and smiled: "Professor Wei, we plan to build a brain nerve laboratory in the provincial capital, mainly to develop brain-computer interfaces. Can you help me shout when you see it? It can also be considered in the biology institute."
Professor Wei was stunned and then nodded happily: "No problem, brain-computer interface... Is that the Matrix type?"
"Haha, you can understand that that is just one of the applications. In fact, the most important thing for us is to first realize the combination of brain nerves and mechanical external force assistance to provide a better quality of life for patients in some special groups."
"Well, that's also a matter of immeasurable merit." Professor Wei nodded and smiled.
"Haha, when it comes to immeasurable merit, the heart stem cells now have immeasurable merit." Su Yuanshan said, turning his head naturally.
His gaze stayed on Cheng Mingcheng's face for two seconds without any trace.
Then he saw that the young man with "sincerity" in his name shook hands involuntarily.
Su Yuanshan sighed slightly in his heart.
"In this way, it seems that your tutor may not be able to come back for a while." Su Yuanshan glanced at the watch, and Chong Mingcheng smiled slightly and said, "You can introduce you to me your progress. If it is convenient, you can take the experimental records and reports to me."
As soon as he heard that Su Yuanshan was about to read the experimental records, Cheng Mingcheng immediately became a little nervous with his naked eyes. He took a breath, not knowing how to deal with it.
Su Yuanshan was not in a hurry and just looked at Cheng Mingcheng quietly.
Professor Wei's face was a little surprised. He was in charge of the Institute of Biology, but he was engaged in neuroscience, so he didn't have a deep understanding of cutting-edge technology such as stem cells. But he didn't understand it deeply... Can Su Yuanshan understand the experimental report?
But everyone knows that Su Yuanshan is a big boss and a big financial backer.
So Professor Wei immediately raised his chin and said, "Xiao Cheng, go and have a look. Haven't you just submitted a report?"
"Well... OK." Cheng Mingcheng stood up and planned to get the report.
A few minutes later, Cheng Mingcheng brought in a report.
Seeing Su Yuanshan holding it in his hand and watching it seriously, neither of them concealed their surprise. Ordinary people looked at the charts, abbreviations, and nouns on the experimental report... I am afraid it is not equivalent to reading a heavenly book - the so-called journeys are like crossing mountains, which is really not just a casual talk.
But Su Yuanshan seems to have really watched it?
"... The cardiomyocytes of adult mice are in a stable state. After myocardial infarction, new cardiomyocytes can differentiate from progenitor cells that do not have alpha myosin heavy chains... The main heart cells expressing c-kits isolated from the human heart can cause an increase in cardiomyocytes in the body..."
Su Yuanshan thought of one of the paragraphs, then raised his head and looked at Cheng Mingcheng.
"Can you understand that you have reproduced the regeneration of cardiomyocytes by cardiomyocytes?"
Cheng Mingcheng immediately pursed his lips, and there were even beads of sweat on his forehead...
If it were a different person, he could answer with certainty, or in a very vague way - but it was obvious that Su Yuanshan's performance seemed to not believe in this.
Or Su Yuanshan believed in this very much.
Whether Su Yuanshan believes or does not believe it, Cheng Mingcheng's intuition told him that as long as he dares to give an answer, he will probably be greeted with Su Yuanshan's endless questions.
At this moment, it no longer matters whether Su Yuanshan is a "outsider" - because he directly asked the core of the topic. And Su Yuanshan's Nobel Prize scholar, genius, Yuanxin boss... The momentum behind these many identities is enough to suppress Cheng Mingcheng.
He didn't dare to say a word.
This is no longer what he should have said.
But...is it possible to not answer?
Su Yuanshan looked at Cheng Mingcheng calmly and said softly: "Student Cheng, I have also obtained results from the laboratory. I know what the experiment means - this is by far the most powerful weapon to verify science. It must be reliable and must be... honest."
Cheng Mingcheng's body shook slightly. Facing Su Yuanshan's encouraging gaze, he opened his mouth and was about to tell Su Yuanshan the real results of the experiment... Suddenly he thought of his thoughts on the tutors of the entire department of graduation.
What if... the tutor doesn't like his answer?
Seeing that Cheng Mingcheng's courage seemed to have fallen again, Su Yuanshan turned to Professor Wei and smiled slightly: "Professor Wei, I don't know if you have received the invitation. The Academic Ethics Committee is ready to be established."
"Oh? I haven't received it yet. Which department was established?"
"Chinese Academy of Sciences." Su Yuanshan smiled meaningfully: "But in my opinion, this is obviously a bit superficial... If we really want to eliminate fraud, we have to do it."
"Come on Yuanxin?"
"Well, I'll do it." Su Yuanshan smiled: "Whether good or bad people, I'll do it."
Hearing this, even if Professor Wei is slow, he could hear that Su Yuanshan came this time... directly stood on the standpoint of questioning the Heart Laboratory.
Su Yuanshan asked Cheng Mingcheng about these words, it was obvious that he would say directly, "I don't believe your experiment, please make it clear to me."
This... Although Professor Wei respects Su Yuanshan, he still believes that Su Yuanshan's behavior of "anti-counterfeiting" across industries is extremely prone to problems.
Especially Su Yuanshan's identity will make people feel the illusion of "forced oppression".
So, Professor Wei blinked and wanted to smooth things over for Cheng Mingcheng.
After all, as the director, he knew that almost all this young man was responsible for the experiments here, and he worked diligently, never said he was lazy.
