I really don't want to be a doctor

Chapter 213 Mesenchymal Stem Cells
This young man who looks like he is still in college, is he actually Jing Xiaoran?

Jeffrey wondered if his memory had gone awry. Did Jing Xiaoran write the article exposing Professor Piero Anversa's thesis forgery?

"You are Jing Xiaoran?" Jeffrey's eyes widened, he looked at Zhu Xianqing, then at Jing Xiaoran, "Professor Piero Anversa's article..."

Jing Xiaoran nodded with a smile.

"It's really you!"

In addition to being astonished, Jeffrey felt a little bit of self-ashamedness.

He originally thought that this Chinese author named "Jing Xiaoran", even though he was not well-known, should be a highly respected scholar, not to mention gray-haired, he must have been in the academic circle for a long time.

I really didn't expect that Jing Xiaoran was such a young scholar.

"Excuse me, are you ready for the interview?" Jing Xiaoran asked.

Jeffrey put away the shock in his heart, nodded quickly: "Ready."

"What experiments did you do during your undergraduate and graduate studies?"

"Before I was a Ph.D. student at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, mainly engaged in research on cardiac stem cells."

Zhu Xianqing was stunned. The resume sent by Hamer was very simple, and this point was not mentioned in it.

"You made cardiac stem cells? The one from Professor Piero Anversa?" Zhu Xianqing asked tentatively, and at the same time he looked at Xiao Ran from the corner of his eye.

At this moment, Jing Xiaoran was also frowning, staring at the foreign boy in front of him with piercing eyes.

"Hmm." Jeffrey nodded noncommittally, "At that time, my supervisor was conducting research in this area, and she gave me this part of the research on myocardial stem cells to treat heart failure as my doctoral topic."

"Then your current doctoral project..." Zhu Xianqing asked.

"I originally graduated this year, but because of Professor Piero Anversa, I can no longer graduate normally." Jeffrey said.

Jing Xiaoran suddenly said: "Then why did you suddenly come to our Shenzhou laboratory to apply for a job? You probably don't have a good impression of our laboratory, right?"

After all, it was the Shenzhou Biological Drug Experiment led by Jing Xiaoran that pulled Professor Piero Anversa down, which indirectly caused Jeffrey to fail to graduate normally.

"No! No!" Jeffrey quickly waved his hand, "Actually, when I was doing repeated experiments on cardiac stem cells, I also found that Professor Piero Anversa's experiments could not be reproduced, but I just thought that my experimental conditions were controlled. Not very well, and did not doubt Professor Piero Anversa."

"For this reason, I wasted almost two years of scientific research time, and there was no achievement during this period."

"When you exposed Professor Piero Anversa's paper and published it, my whole being suddenly became enlightened, and finally I no longer doubted myself. So I have always been very grateful to you for daring to expose Professor Piero Anversa, so that the academic world will not continue to make this mistake."

Jing Xiaoran's expression didn't change at all, Jeffrey's one-sided words alone must be unconvincing.

After he exposed Professor Piero Anversa, although many people in the scientific community applauded, some people hated Jing Xiaoran very much.

Because when the false field of cardiac stem cells was abolished and the emperor's new clothes were dismantled, Jing Xiaoran touched the interests of many people, including many scientific researchers and drug dealers.

Many of them rely on "cardiac stem cells" to obtain various funds and investments.

"But this has nothing to do with your coming to our China Laboratory, right?" Zhu Xianqing said, he didn't think that a "cracking down on fake papers" could attract top students from the US National Laboratory.

This is a researcher from the world's top laboratory!
Although Jeffrey is just a doctor who has not yet graduated, his ability must be comparable to that of some middle-level developers in pharmaceutical companies.

Jing Xiaoran also looked at Jeffrey curiously, wanting to know the real reason why he came to China and Shenzhou Laboratory.

"Mr. Zhu, first of all, you underestimated Mr. Jing's paper exposing Professor Piero Anversa's fraud." Jeffrey said, "It's not like no one found out that Professor Piero Anversa's experimental data had problems before, such as me, but why didn't Mr. Jing, Professor Piero Anversa's thesis is only beginning to be questioned?"

"Because no one will realize that in the field of scientific research they are engaged in, even the source is fake, and the whole field is fake!"

"So the entire American academic circle has a high opinion of Mr. Jing's paper."

Zhu Xianqing pondered, and said: "Of course I agree with this, but this does not mean how high the scientific research level of our Shenzhou Laboratory is, and it is impossible to attract too many people's attention. Our identity is more like a whistleblower. , if there is no other big guy who is as famous as Professor Piero Anversa to come out to support Jing Xiaoran, I am afraid this matter will drag on for a long time."

Jing Xiaoran nodded, Zhu Xianqing's words are very reasonable; when it comes to cracking down on counterfeiting, many people may think highly of Shenzhou Laboratory, but in the eyes of European and American scholars, China's scientific research level is still very backward.

Geoffrey chuckled suddenly, and took out a journal from his black backpack.

"Everyone's attention is on Professor Piero Anversa's falsification, but they don't pay attention to another point mentioned at the end of your paper."

Jeffrey turned to a page in the journal, which was Jing Xiaoran's anti-counterfeiting paper.

"You mentioned in the article that although myocardial stem cells do not exist, it does not mean that stem cells do not exist. The medical value of stem cells in the field of heart is very high."

Jing Xiaoran looked at the foreign boy in front of him, but he felt a little appreciation in his heart.

In the paper exposing Professor Piero Anversa's fraud, he only briefly mentioned one thing, and ordinary people would not care about it at all. Unexpectedly, this foreign boy noticed it.

Cardiac stem cells do not exist, but mesenchymal stem cells take their place.

This is also the conclusion that scholars in the previous life came to after learning that the cardiac stem cells of Professor Piero Anversa were fake, and after several years of research: mesenchymal stem cells can act as cardiac stem cells to treat heart diseases .

"The paper also mentioned mesenchymal stem cells?" Zhu Xianqing was a little surprised, and motioned for Jeffrey to hand over the journal in his hand.

Stem cells are not a new term, but mesenchymal stem cells are a term that is rarely mentioned.

What are stem cells?
Stem cells are "seed cells" that can differentiate into specific functional cells. Currently, hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells are widely used in the medical industry.

Hematopoietic stem cells, derived from umbilical cord blood and bone marrow, can differentiate into blood cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.For the treatment of diseases of the blood system.

Mesenchymal stem cells, derived from tissues and organs such as teeth, umbilical cord, placenta, and fat, can differentiate into various functional cells of the human body, such as nerve cells, vascular cells, epithelial cells, liver cells, cardiomyocytes, bone cells, etc.
