Free Web NovelChapter 703: Chapter 387: Following Zhao Yi, Becoming an Academician is Not a Dream!_2
AIDS is difficult to cure because the AIDS virus forms a viral reservoir in the immune cells of the human body.
This viral reservoir is difficult to clear, long-term standardized treatment of the AIDS virus can generally only suppress the virus from replicating, but it’s difficult to destroy the AIDS viral reservoir.
Simply put, the AIDS virus is nestled within immune cells, duplicating hand in hand with the copying of immune cells.
The main target of it is CD4T lymphocytes, the CD4 molecules on the surface of CD4T lymphocytes are receptors for the AIDS virus, the virus envelope protein gp120 on the surface is its natural ligand, which is the key to the virus invading cells. When the gp120 of the virus surface binds to the CD4 of the cell, the virus enters the cell and integrates into the genome of the CD4T lymphocytes, becoming a provirus.
When the cell replicates, it drives the viral gene to replicate with it, thus permanently infecting the host with HIV. The infected cell can produce thousands of new HIV viral particles, leading to cell death. The result of cell death is a gradual decrease in CD4T lymphocytes in the body, causing severe immune dysfunction, making the body highly susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors.
If not treated with medication, the immune deficiency will be progressive and irreversible.
The combination of new small protein molecules and rod-shaped bacterial antibodies can mark the AIDS virus, but it may also mark CD4T lymphocytes. If CD4T lymphocytes are marked as a certain type of rod-shaped bacteria, there may be confusion in the immune system, and a large number of CD4T lymphocytes will be killed by other parts of the immune system in a short time, which will definitely bring about immune deficiency problems and have significant side effects.
There are drawbacks, but there are also many benefits.
This killing could be direct. When the cells hosting the AIDS virus die, the virus will spread out of the cells and be easily marked for removal.
During this process, a large number of AIDS viruses will die, and the cells carrying the AIDS virus will also die, raising the hope of efficiently eradicating the AIDS virus. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Of course.
The research group need not be bothered with drug development and administration; they only need to verify the effect.
...
In the end, Dai Tianqing did join the group.
He was forgotten.
The next day, while the lab was planning the division of labor for verification, they found they were short-handed. Only then did Zhao Yi remember Dai Tianqing, laughing as he said, "We should call Old Dai!"
"Right, Old Dai’s mouth..."
Yan Xuelin shook his head without nodding, "But his ability is quite good, he has always been part of the research efforts."
"Okay, I’ll go get him."
Chen Zhigang couldn’t wait to say. He and Dai Tianqing were in the same group, but he felt strange about himself getting in and Dai Tianqing not.
Dai Tianqing was in the lab, staring out the window, looking confused when he heard Chen Zhigang calling from the door.
"Don’t just stand there and move it!" Chen Zhigang said.
Like changing faces in Sichuan Opera, Dai Tianqing’s smile immediately appeared on his face. He put on his white coat hastily without enough time to button it up and sprinted toward the central lab. On his way in, he greeted the armed security guards and laughed, "How about that! You can’t do without me!"
"As I told you, even though it’s Zhao Yi’s group’s discovery, but without me, there’s always something missing..."
"Now that I’m here, we will be smooth sailing!"
"..."
Zhao Yi and Yan Xuelin exchanged a look, both somewhat regretting having Dai Tianqing come.
"Can we still get rid of him?" Zhao Yi asked nonverbally.
Yan Xuelin returned a frustrated look, which basically meant, "Let’s leave it like this for now, we’ll see."
"Alright."
"Sigh~"
...
The entire school noticed that a row of armed security guards were standing at the entrance of the Biomedical Research Institute, and a long cordon had been pulled up.
The School of Sciences was no exception.
A few professors and teachers in the large office conducted their daily dose of gossip as usual.
Hu Zhibin asked, "What’s going on? They’ve applied for confidentiality again? What else did the Biomed Institute discover?"
"It should be," Zhou Li nodded.
"Last time they made a big discovery, it resulted in a Medical Science Center, right! The center still hasn’t been established, now this..."
Hu Zhibin’s tone was sarcastic. He himself hadn’t achieved much in scientific research, but he still hoped that the School of Sciences could have a Mathematical Center. Maybe he could get an office inside?
"Do you think, might this have something to do with Zhao Yi?" Gao Yihua suddenly asked.
"Could it be?"
"Not necessarily?"
"Who knows!"
No one could make head or tail of it.
"The last time, it was him," Gao Yihua said, "Although I don’t know what research it was, if he could draw sponsorship from a pharmaceutical company, it must be related to drug manufacture. Therefore, the odd thing is that the Technology Department suggested Zhao Yi should concentrate on particle mathematics research, they probably didn’t consult the medical department."
"Hahahaha..."
The others burst into laughter at the thought.
Even though the results of the last research weren’t published, being able to establish a Medical Science Center must be an extraordinary feat.
And yet, the Technology Department somehow wanted to persuade Zhao Yi to focus on particle mathematics research, what would the medical department think of that?
A fight was bound to break out between the two!
Zhou Li suddenly exclaimed, "You know, why is Zhao Yi such a genius! He’s good at mathematics, physics, and even biomedical research, and he has major achievements!"
"Yeah..."
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!!"
Everyone in the office nodded with sighs of envy. It was already quite remarkable to make achievements in mathematical research, let alone other subjects. Most of them in the office couldn’t do that.
Zhou Li was already impressive, but all his achievements combined couldn’t even match a minor achievement of Zhao Yi.
For instance, the proof of the weakened twin prime conjecture.
Perhaps many people have forgotten about this achievement of Zhao Yi’s. What they remember is the Goldbach Conjecture, Fermat’s Last Theorem, the 3D tremor waveform... As a result, the weakened twin prime conjecture seemed less important.
In reality?
It was a major achievement that could be published in top journals and recognized by international mathematicians.
So...
People really can’t be compared!
...
The central laboratory.
Everyone was diligently engaged in the verification work. Simulating the human immune environment, verifying whether small protein substances and the bacillus antibody compound could mark the HIV virus, the process was still quite complex. Just one ’how to verify the HIV virus has been marked’, several plans were designed for verification.
None of these plans were 100% guaranteed to find the solution, they could only be conducted together and then compared in the end.
A week later, in the small conference room.
A large pile of experimental data was placed on the conference table. Several researchers took part in the data analysis. Afterwards, Ai Lixin took the final results, stood up, and made a report, "We’ve simulated the human immune environment and developed five plans to collect data, to verify the marking status of Bing-hydrogen molecules (the new small protein substances) and the Bacillus antibody against the HIV virus..."
"In the end, data from Plan 1..."
"Plan 2..."
"Plan 3..."
"All the plans combined for analysis, we conclude--"
"Bing-hydrogen molecule (the new small protein substances) and the bacillus antibodies can indeed mark the HIV virus, and this mark can also be recognized by the human immune system!"
The moment Ai Lixin finished the summary, everyone in the conference room sprang to their feet, cheering excitedly.
"Just as I thought!"
"I knew this would be the result from the beginning, it’s bound to mark, there’s no problem!"
"It’s Zhao Yi’s discovery, what’s there to question? Zhao Yi has already said it will work!"
"Believe in Zhao Yi, there’s no way he could be wrong!"
"Right, ever since I joined Zhao Yi’s lab, I’ve realised one thing: as long as I follow Zhao Yi, becoming an academician is not a dream!"
"Zhao Yi, will your lab accept any more members?"
"Hahahaha..."
"Good, good, good!"
Zhu Hong, who was sitting in her chair, was also very excited. She smiled at the others and continuously voiced her approval by repeating the word ’good’. Then she declared, "With this result, our country’s pharmaceutical enterprises will be able to manufacture the most effective AIDS treatment."
"Great--!"
