Chapter 255: Chapter 190: The Study of the Best Money-Making ’Mechanism’_3
Zhao Yi observed the mice’s condition the most, spending a long time with Zhang Wei to understand the progression of the mice’s ailments, and occasionally discussing the research content with her.
He gleaned quite a lot from this.
The biggest gain was related to biomedical knowledge. Another gain was systemic; the deeper his understanding of Zhang Wei’s research, the less energy he needed to use "Connection Law".
Two days later.
Zhao Yi used "Connection Law" to observe the molecular process of mouse myocarditis, which only required sixty-six units of energy.
From 87 to 66, his energy usage had decreased significantly!
He could manage with values of 50. Under the condition where his energy was full, consuming sixty units at once would undoubtedly cause dizziness and fatigue, but there wouldn’t be any serious consequences. He just needed to quickly replenish it with Study Coins.
Zhao Yi planned to continue learning for two more days before using "Connection Law". On one hand, he wanted to trial it to see what information it could provide. On the other hand, he wanted to help Zhang Wei with her research to show gratitude for her guidance and help.
That day. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Ai Lixin, who worked in the room next door, carried out an experiment observing cell reactions using sections.
Ai Linxin was another person that Zhao Yi knew. He was also an assistant researcher working in Dai Tianqing’s lab.
Zhao Yi also took interest in Ai Lixin’s research project. It was titled ’Study on the immune response mechanism of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)’. Liu Jing suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis, and the torturous nature of the incurable disease definitely piqued Zhao Yi’s interest.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a multisystemic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease that primarily affects the peripheral joints. The cause and pathogenetic mechanism of this disease are yet to be thoroughly understood.
Ai Lixin’s primary focus was researching the connection between A lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, cytokines, and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Unlike Zhang Wei, Ai Lixin’s research had made significant progress, leading to some conclusions already. However, he had yet to completely understand the joint action of B lymphocytes and A lymphocytes in inflammatory reactions, which is a key aspect of the study.
This problem had impeded him for over a month. Once he figured it out, the research would practically be over.
Now, the experiment Ai Lixin was conducting was to check the changes that would occur between T lymphocytes and natural killer cells under unimpeded conditions.
Ai Lixin, who got along well with Zhao Yi, invited him to observe the experimental process.
Zhao Yi fiddled with the microscope, viewing the sections for quite a while, while attentively listening to Ai Lixin explaining the content involved.
Next was performing the staining reaction.
Obvious conditions could be observed with the naked eye after staining. Combining this observation with experimental data for analysis might lead to certain conclusions.
Of course, the word ’might’ was quite crucial here.
Ai Lixin had conducted several experiments but hadn’t come to any conclusions. All he could note was that the natural killer cells could destroy targeted cells, but he couldn’t explain the role of the T lymphocytes.
"It’s impossible for them to have no role. T lymphocytes are a major type of immune cell; they must function in any immune reaction."
"All I can see now are memory T cells. Can this be interpreted as T lymphocytes being ineffective in the inflammation but only playing a memory role?"
"That’s not right either..."
Ai Lixin mumbled his analysis.
Zhao Yi asked questions but didn’t help analyze anything. Ai Lixin didn’t think Zhao Yi could help either, as Zhao Yi didn’t even have basic undergraduate knowledge, so his involvement in experimental analysis was somewhat far-fetched.
Suddenly, Zhao Yi spoke up, "Why don’t you consider the direction of secretions? T cells are stimulated to become large lymphocytes, which secrete substances along the way. Maybe one of those substances assists natural killer cells in attacking the target cells?"
He posed it as a question, but his tone was unusually certain.
Ai Lixin froze when he heard it, then, abruptly recognizing its importance, he excitedly grabbed Zhao Yi’s shoulders, shaking them vigorously, "Yes! That makes sense! It makes so much sense!"
"I’m going to start the experiment right now!"
"It’s very possible!"
"Zhao Yi, you’re a genius!" He excitedly yelled while beginning to prepare experiment materials.
Zhao Yi sat in a corner, leaning back with a slight smile on his face.
He realized that ’mechanism research’ suits him. The difficulty Ai Lixin encountered earlier was solved by him just by observing the experiment once, consuming only 11 units of energy.
If he conducted mechanism research himself...
"These experiments seem to be supported by the National Scientific Research Fund, with each research worth hundreds of thousands, possibly even millions..." freewebnoveℓ.com
"By conducting more mechanism research, I wouldn’t only make a contribution to the nation’s medical research and attain a wealth of knowledge in the process, but I could also earn quite a lot of money!"
"Of course, the money is not important, what’s primarily important is making a contribution!"
"It’s a win-win-win situation!"
