Chapter 2635 A path for the future
When Su Yun was looking for relevant information, she suddenly saw a picture. She frowned and immediately flipped to it.
“Boss, every time I see people eating bats, I feel that this kind of death-seeking behavior can’t be described with words.” Su Yun frowned and said with some disgust.
“Yes, have you watched Man vs. Wild before?”
“I’ve seen it. ” Su Yun said,”you’re talking about Bell gryles, right? I was about to talk about him.” Grandpa bei really dared to eat anything. He survived in the wilderness and ate many things directly. However, that was the experience accumulated by the United Kingdom Special Forces after countless years of research. The meat of a Dead Zebra, the juice of an elephant’s feces ... It’s disgusting to look at. “
“Yeah, I watched the episode where he ate the bats. It took him five hours to grill them, and his hands were shaking when he ate them.” Zheng Ren said.
“Bat sashimi ... And soup ... Sigh.” Su Yun sighed.”This thing looks cold and evil.” Speaking of which, old Mister Yuan has already stopped us from going hungry, so why do we still have to eat these things?”
“The bats themselves carry a large amount of virus. They don’t react to the virus, so it may be a weapon for their self-defense. If it weren’t for the virus, bats would have gone extinct long ago. There would be no need to wait for White Nose Syndrome. ” Zheng Ren said.
“Some people have been studying the bat’s immunity to the virus and are trying to find a new way to treat it. Then, I found out that ... The bat’s body doesn’t react to the virus at all. ” Zheng Ren sighed.”That’s why bats are very powerful. From a certain point of view, they’re the most powerful mammals, so you have to be respectful.”
“By the way, what do you mean by longevity?” Su Yun asked.
“Bats are the only mammals that are not restricted by terrain ...” Zheng Ren said.
“You could have just said that it can fly. You don’t have to say everything like it’s a report.” Su Yun interrupted her boss’s words with disdain.
“I’m afraid you’ll argue. ” Zheng Ren said indifferently.
“Let’s talk about serious matters. ” Su Yun changed the topic.
“As I said earlier, the genes related to DNA damage repair in bats are very unusual. It can be said that their ability to repair DNA damage is very high.
In other words, the increased metabolism rate caused by flying is more likely to cause DNA damage in the long term Evolution. Bats resist it by improving their DNA damage repair ability. “
“The bat cells have a very high level of heat shock protein, and the genes related to the type I antidote pathway will also provide new ideas for future clinical medicine Research.”
“There are also studies that say that bats lack the genes of the Python family, so they rarely have inflammation. Therefore, tumors that are related to inflammation and abnormal hyperplasia cells rarely appear.”
Zheng Ren spoke of some fragments intermittently. As he spoke, he summarized and reflected on himself, so as to further perfect his words.
“In other words, the White Nose Syndrome and the fungus infection of the bats are side effects of their ability to resist tumors?!” Su Yun asked.
“It’s possible. This is also the purpose of Christian’s research.” Zheng Ren said,”but to save the bats, the prerequisite result is to treat cancer first. This is really a very unexpected gain. As for Kerry’s research ... If he can overcome tumors through the research of bat genes, it will have a very far-reaching significance. “
“Boss, mind your words.” Su Yun said,”to us humans, being able to treat cancer is a great thing.”
“Who knows? there might be a series of side effects after opening the Pandora’s Box.” Zheng Ren said,”who knows what will happen in the end.”
“Bats choose to fly, so their metabolism rate will increase, and the level of oxygen stress will also increase. In order to fight against these results of flying, bats have evolved to adapt to a high level of DNA damage repair.”
“It’s not that the bats chose to fly. It’s just that the bats are the only flying mammals left in the end.” Zheng Ren said,”sometimes, the choice that you think is natural is full of the strangeness of fate. The creatures that could have ruled the earth died out because of fungi. “
“I’ve never thought that bats could rule the earth, only you would think so. However, when he was young, his family said that bats were flying rats, and they were the two largest types of mammals. Boss, do you think there will be a large number of them if they look like that?” Su Yun’s questions were always very strange.
“Don’t bullsh * t. We’re talking about bats not being able to resist fungus.” Zheng Ren said,”if Christian’s research results are out, I’m afraid the bats will have no natural enemies for the time being.”
“Why don’t you save the world and save mankind?”
“It’s just like what we’re doing. Christian is trying to save bat, and we’re trying to save little stone and treat cancer. After crossing this Ridge, there will definitely be another high mountain. ” Zheng Ren said,”so, a perfect body doesn’t exist ...”
“Stinky skin, what’s there to be afraid of?” Su Yun said in disdain,”the final direction of evolution must be the spiritual body.”
“There will also be many problems with the spiritual body.”
“You’re digressing further and further!” Su Yun immediately stopped Zheng Ren.”Boss, you said that bats have a stronger background level of an innate immune response system, so they rarely or never get sick when they carry the virus. Can we use this to develop some medicine to treat the virus?”
“I don’t have money.” Zheng Ren said,”this research is not something we can do. A large scale laboratory would have to spend a lot of money in ten to twenty years, and there might not be any results. “
Su Yun shrugged her shoulders.
“If we can solve the problem of human immunity once and for all, who knows what will happen in the future?”
“You’re too pessimistic. We’ll take one step at a time and look at the present while our eyebrows are on fire. I remember you saying that. Why did it split on its own?” Su Yun said in disdain.
“So, let’s study the little stone first.” Zheng Ren said,”bats are the second largest species of mammals, second only to rodents. They account for 20% of the world’s mammals, and there are more than 1300 species. They were widely distributed, and bats existed in all parts of the world outside the north and south poles. And bats have a long history that can be traced back to almost 50 million years ago. “
“Christian’s research is very careful and cautious. We don’t have the conditions to do so, and I’m not very interested in this research. In fact, sometimes, I suddenly feel that there was nothing wrong with choosing basic research at that time. It was just that I was more interested in surgery. “
After Zheng Ren finished speaking, he let out a long sigh. No one knew what he was thinking.
“Let’s go. Let’s go find Chang Yue and Yiren for dinner.” Su Yun said,”you’ve made Christian unhappy. He won’t even have dinner tonight.”
“He’s not unhappy. He’s just a little flustered and scared after being seen through.” Zheng Ren said,”he’ll be here with a smile and sincerity tomorrow. Don’t worry.”
