Chapter 24 Professor Xu’s shock

“Senior sister, my experiment was successful. The new macrophages I cultivated using single-base gene editing technology can swallow and destroy HIV, as well as identify and eliminate HIV-infected cells.”

The first person Lu Li thought of was Qin Wei, so he dialed Qin Wei’s phone and told her the good news.

“You… have you overcome AIDS? I knew you were the best in the world!”

Qin Wei was stunned for a moment, and soon became excited, even her voice was trembling, it could be seen that she was proud of Lu Li.

“Haha, of course I am the best, haven’t you experienced it many times?”

Lu Li said with a smile.

“You! You are getting more and less serious!”

Qin Wei was a little speechless.

Next, Lu Li started calling his mother again. As soon as the phone was connected, her voice came from the other side: “Son, I heard from your classmate that you have found a senior sister to be your girlfriend. Suddenly calling back this time, could it be that you killed someone? I don’t know how to deal with it, right?”

“No, absolutely not.”

With a black line, Lu Li quickly said: “I have good news to tell you, you should have heard of AIDS? I have already conquered AIDS in the laboratory.”

call! call!

Mom couldn’t help gasping for breath.

This news is really shocking!

That’s AIDS!

In this era, anyone with a little bit of culture has heard that this disease is terrible, even more terrible than cancer!

Now… was captured by my son?

After a while, my mother was relieved: “I… I heard you right?”

“Mom, don’t worry, you absolutely heard it right. I have already overcome AIDS in the laboratory. After a while, I should be on the news.”

hiss!

At this moment, my mother’s eyes were red with excitement, her heart was surging, and she was so excited that she didn’t read much, and her biggest dream was to hope that her son could be admitted to a good university, because she had suffered a lot without academic qualifications. Although many people say that it is useless to go to university, and there are indeed many undergraduates who are not good at it, she understands that 80% of people will be affected by their academic qualifications, and for the middle and low classes of society, Taking college entrance examinations is the most direct way to achieve stratification.

Fortunately, his son is very talented and talented, and his grades have been good. After being admitted to Nancheng No. 2 Middle School, he has always won first place.

At that time, she knew that her son would be admitted to Qingbei as long as there were no accidents.

As for the college entrance examination champion, she never thought about it.

As a result, her son gave her a big surprise, not only the provincial champion, but also the country’s first candidate with full scores in the college entrance examination.

She originally thought this surprise was big enough.

As a result, his son has now overcome AIDS!

That’s AIDS.

Even if she doesn’t read much, she knows very well that with just one thing, her son can become a world-renowned scientist, can be on TV, and be written into textbooks!

She was about to cry tears, she never dreamed that her son would be so promising!

Lu Li chatted with his mother for a while, then hung up the phone and called his father. His father’s reaction was similar, but he was so excited that he kept saying that he would set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Next, Lu Li called Professor Xu and Professor Tian.

After hearing Lu Li’s words, Professor Xu was taken aback for a while, and then said quickly that he had already set off and he would be able to go to Lu Li’s laboratory immediately.

Professor Tian didn’t get through. He should have been in a meeting. As an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as the Taishan Beidou of domestic biological virology, he often attends meetings.

Ten minutes later, Professor Xu came to the laboratory, sweat dripping from his forehead, and he was still breathing heavily. He was obviously jogging all the way.

“Xiao Lu, how did you overcome AIDS, is that the method you mentioned to me last time?”

Professor Xu asked anxiously.

“Yes.”

Lu Li nodded and said: “I used single-base gene editing technology to modify the genes of macrophages so that macrophages can recognize and destroy HIV, and also recognize and destroy cells infected with HIV.”

“This, this, this…”

Professor Xu was a little bit shocked and speechless. When he heard Lu Li’s idea, he didn’t think that Lu Li could succeed, but Lu Li said he had succeeded in less than a month. , This is really incredible.

If he knew that Lu Li had succeeded in only two weeks, it would be even harder to believe.

After a while, Professor Xu calmed down and let Lu Li conduct the experiment.

Lu Li nodded, and soon the two came to the experimental platform. Lu Li skillfully took out the new macrophages that had been cultivated from the reagent tube, poured them into the petri dish, and then dripped HIV into the petri dish.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Xu couldn’t wait to put the petri dish under the electron microscope and start to observe.

Through the electron microscope, he clearly saw the war between new macrophages and HIV. The new macrophages are like a ruthless killer. Whenever they encounter HIV, they will directly rush up and eat HIV into the body.

Not only that, he used an instrument to cut through some new macrophages that had swallowed HIV, and found that there was no HIV inside the cells, which indicated that the new macrophages had broken down HIV.

“This…this…this is incredible.”

Professor Xu stared at the scene in front of him with his eyes stubbornly, and his body began to tremble. The HIV that has been ravaging for decades, and the AIDS, which has left scientists around the world at a loss, has been conquered like this?

From now on, treating AIDS will become as simple as treating a cold?

“This is definitely a major milestone in the history of biological sciences. It not only means that AIDS is no longer a terminal illness, but also means that gene editing technology has begun to take the stage, and the era of gene therapy is coming!”

Professor Xu took a deep breath, looked at Lu Li’s handsome and tender face with joy, and said with great emotion, “Xiao Lu, no… if I call you Xiao Lu, it would be a little inappropriate, I I’ll just call your name from now on.”

Having said that, Professor Xu patted Lu Li on the shoulder and said with a smile: “Lu Li, this achievement of yours has locked you in next year’s Nobel Prize. You will become the youngest Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine. Haha, I didn’t win the Nobel Prize myself, so I can accept a student who can win the Nobel Prize!”

Lu Li smiled and said: “It’s all teachers who teach well.”

Professor Xu waved his hand: “I didn’t teach you much. You can overcome AIDS entirely by your own ability.”

Speaking of this, Professor Xu couldn’t help but sigh: “I used to think that you still need time to grow. It may take about ten years before you can become a pillar of the national biology community and a national treasure. But now, you He is already a national treasure, and even the highest official will notice you.”

“The chief executive will also notice me?”

Hearing these words, Lu Li was slightly taken aback, even a little emotional.

at this time.

Bell Bell Bell.

Lu Li’s cell phone rang. He checked the caller ID and found that Professor Tian was calling.

(Big guys, monthly tickets, rewards, flowers, evaluation tickets… come here.)*
