Hillbo’s words were like a clap of thunder, resonating in the minds of all the students!
Everyone was stunned!
The crowd looked at the teacher, unable to speak for quite a while...
They couldn’t believe it—this was spoken by the teacher himself.
Even harder to believe was that it was all real!
Marie Claire couldn’t help but say, "Teacher... Are you... joking?"
Hillbo laughed softly and shook his head, "I’m not joking!"
"There is no longer any need to pursue this research."
"Why?" Marie Claire’s expression changed.
Hillbo sighed lightly, "Look, I just simulated the production process of this insulin-like growth factor 2 composed of 67 amino acids and found that precise separation is very difficult, even... impossible!"
"The gene for insulin-like growth factor 2 is located next to the insulin gene on chromoso 11p15.5, with a crossover of 30kb IGF2. Do you know what that ans?
This ans that the gene originally synthesizes the protein precursor of insulin-like growth factor 2, and the precursor is composed of A-E domains and a 24-residue signal peptide!"
"I just used the latest CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, combined with traditional ZFN and TALEN technologies. I can say I’ve used every available thod!"
"Yet... precise separation is still not possible!"
"Every ti it seems only one or two radicals are different, but that indeed makes a world of difference!"
"I speculate that the gene editing thods Chen Cang possesses far surpass mine!"
"CRISPR/Cas9 indeed has its flaws... Without PAM in front of the target area, it can’t cut, and its specificity is not high. Thus, I speculate that Chen Cang might be using traditional restriction endonucleases!"
"If that’s the case, the number of endonucleases he has mastered... greatly exceeds ours!"
Marie Claire was dumbfounded upon hearing this...
How could it be possible?
"Impossible, right? Teacher... We have nearly 5,000 types of restriction endonucleases. China found this out just last year during the conference..."
"Moreover, we also have CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which is our most advanced technology using the Cas9 protein! Chen Cang..."
Marie Claire found it hard to believe this fact!
Chen Cang was rely a surgeon; how could he possibly excel in genetic engineering?
Furthermore!
He’s not even 30 years old!
Could her lifeti of research be less than his?
Proud as Marie Claire was, she found it difficult to accept this fact!
However, her teacher shattered all her confidence with one statent!
Hillbo glanced at Marie Claire and said calmly, "Do you think Chen Cang can’t use CRISPR/Cas9 technology? That’s because you haven’t reached the final stage of this experint. Perhaps you haven’t seen, at the very end, when you see the editing techniques rge, Chen Cang used three editing techniques simultaneously to edit!
Simultaneously!
He simultaneously used three techniques on three different targets, editing at the sa ti, ensuring the unity of ti and editing sequence!"
"This fact shows Chen Cang’s mastery of CRISPR/Cas9 technology far exceeds mine!"
Hillbo ended with a sense of lancholy; eighty years of pride vanished like smoke!
What genius?
What glory?
What accomplishnts?
Perhaps there really are so geniuses in the world who never care about fa or fortune, yet they hide treasures deep within!
Chen Cang, what kind of person are you!
Marie Claire and all those around looked at Hillbo, unable to believe what the teacher had said!
For a mont, several students fell silent!
This ti, to help Marie Claire conduct this research, Hillbo had summoned several students.
These individuals were world-class experts outside!
But right now...
They were all silent!
Marie Claire couldn’t help but ask, "Is there really no way?"
Hillbo shook his head, "I have a suggestion for you."
"Now that ti is still early, and the impact hasn’t expanded, my suggestion is to contact Chen Cang for an optimization solution!"
"I think, since he can study the chanism of insulin-like growth factor 2, solving it will only be a matter of ti!"
"It’s also possible to tackle it yourself, but... the ti cost might be very high indeed!"
Hillbo continued, "If I’m not mistaken, this issue is not about the drug, but it is also about the drug!"
"Ultimately, your research program has the right general direction, but the details are poorly handled."
"If you mishandle the treatnt of African Aricans with the drug, this matter can be infinitely magnified!"
"Hurry back and see what Cari Moss says, I’m tired too!"
After speaking, Hillbo turned and left.
Before leaving, he suddenly rembered sothing and quickly cautioned:
"And... do not provoke Chen Cang!"
The students watched as their proud teacher, a peculiar person never easily impressed by anyone in his lifeti, would actually say such a thing!
Coincidentally!
Cari Moss contacted experts in genetic engineering from Johns Hopkins University and MIT and began their research!
But!
The results were shockingly consistent!
No one could proceed further.
This issue wasn’t about ability—it’s called a technological gap or a science chasm!
They understood clearly that reaching Chen Cang’s level still had a long way to go!
For a mont, two top scientists addressed Cari Moss:
"Mr. Cari Moss, we’re sorry, we’ve done our best!"
"Indeed! But... Professor Chen Cang’s genetic engineering thods far surpass ours!"
"Perhaps after today, we need to go to China for a study!"
"Indeed!"
"Who would have thought, Professor Chen, a dical surgery expert, would have such profound understanding of genetic engineering!"
Cari Moss was silent!
He never expected such a thing to happen.
After hesitating for a long ti, Cari Moss could only wait for good news from Marie Claire, hoping Professor Hillbo... still had hope!
"Professor Cari Moss, you could reach out to Professor Hillbo; he might still have thods!"
Before the words were finished!
Cari Moss’s phone rang.
Seeing the call was from Marie Claire, his eyes lit up.
But!
Marie Claire’s next few sentences completely left Cari Moss in silence.
Could it be... there really is no solution?
Cari Moss felt utterly despairing!
The experts from Johns Hopkins University and MIT seeing Cari Moss like this couldn’t help but feel a chill.
It seems Professor Hillbo also ran out of options!
And at the sa ti, in China!
Chen Cang was anxious!
No!
Can’t keep stalling; at this rate, I won’t complete my mission.
