Mid-September.
The ard police at the entrance of the institute were withdrawn, and at the sa ti, several trucks brought in so new equipnt, which was moved into the institute building.
There was a bombshell news in the school that the School of Life Sciences had applied for funding from the higher-ups to build a dical research center integrating scientific research and education on the vacant land on the west side of the school.
Many people were spreading rumors, "You don’t know? This has sothing to do with the Biodical Research Institute!"
"It is said that the Institute has applied for it, and it has a direct connection with Zhao Yi. Didn’t the ard police just leave? They were protecting the research results!"
"What research results?"
"Don’t you guys follow the news? During the sumr break, at the dical conference in Country D, the Biodical Research Institute made a big splash, demonstrating the hijacking process of the AIDS virus protein on the spot, which had a huge impact, and many news outlets reported on it."
"It’s Ai Lixin, I know him, he is very powerful, he has just been promoted to a researcher..."
Many people in the school felt that the College of Life Sciences had the confidence to apply for funding to establish a dical education center because of the past achievents of the Biodical Research Institute, having enough research results to justify the request.
Actually, it makes sense, as the Biodical Research Institute has had many achievents, including a research project that won the National Progress First Prize during the New Year.
However, in reality, the situation was not as it seed, and those who knew the news just laughed it off.
Zhao Yi, Fan Lei, and everyone else involved in the research knew that the reason was the news of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule being released to dostic pharmaceutical companies.
Now, the two largest pharmaceutical companies are investing in R&D for drugs with 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule as the main component, and a completely new, proven-effective AIDS drug is sure to bring substantial economic benefits.
When Yan Xuelin proposed bonuses for the researchers and expressed hope to expand the scale of the institute, having a comprehensive dical research and education center, the representative of the pharmaceutical factory agreed almost without hesitation. Their only request was for the research institute to share the research results of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule and continue to keep it confidential until the new drug is developed and put into the market.
At the sa ti, the confidential research was also halted.
The research results were very pleasing. The 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule worked at the protein level, and its function was to bind with the proline on the HIV gp41 spike, greatly weakening the virus’s ability to invade cells.
The virus spike is the tool (or ’weapon’) the virus uses to invade cells, and when the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule binds with the protein on the spike, the weapon essentially loses most of its effectiveness, and invasiveness naturally decreases significantly.
"It’s not 100% weakened, but more than 90% of the virus spikes bound with 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecules lose their ability to invade cells."
Zhao Yi concluded.
The R&D representative of the pharmaceutical factory was overjoyed. If, as Zhao Yi said, more than 90% of the viruses lose their ability to invade cells, the drugs they produce will definitely be stronger than any AIDS drugs on the market, and theoretically, the spread of HIV could be reduced by a factor of ten.
For example, when an AIDS patient progresses to the stage of middle-term spread, taking dication persistently could greatly reduce the rate of spread and the rate of invasion of the immune system, and perhaps so AIDS patients will never develop the disease as a result.
Of course, it’s just theoretical.
The specific effects of the drugs won’t be known until they’re actually manufactured and tested.
