Chapter 321 A Huge Earthquake Caused by a Cell (Part 2)

Sudhoff is a professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Stanford University, who mainly studies synaptic transmission. Since he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2013, he has become an authority in this field.

It was past 2 o'clock in the morning, in the dead of night, and he was still dealing with some work matters.

Suddenly, a message flashed on the phone, showing that an email was received from the editor-in-chief of Cell Journal.

"It's another draft email. Last month, the editor-in-chief of Sweet called me and asked me if I had any new discoveries."

Anyway, he saw everything, so he opened the email casually, ready to browse it.

As soon as I opened it, I was stunned: "Review and submission? I haven't received such an email for a long time."

Immediately he was refreshed: "Great, read a paper before going to bed and fall asleep with divergent thinking. Is there anything better than this?"

For an authoritative expert like him, there are not many manuscripts that he can review in the same field, and it is rare to come across a novel and interesting article in a few months.

After all, the object of neuroscience research is the brain, which is a mixture of matter and spirit. As the most complex matter known so far, its research methods must be very complicated, and it is necessary to use a variety of basic disciplines.

Although this subject is very prosperous at present, the research of scientists is still full of difficulties. At present, they are only studying complicated experimental phenomena, but have not risen to the theoretical level, and have not been able to build a compatible and nearly complete axiomatic system.

To be precise, neuroscience has not yet had its 'Newton' and 'Einstein'.

Even so, Suderhoff is one of the best figures in his field. Such an expert is very busy with his daily work. He is a typical workaholic, and it is common for him to work until two or three o'clock in the morning.

The editor-in-chief of the journal is well aware of his status, so ordinary submissions will not come to him. Only some more important manuscripts, or submissions for which other editorial board members are difficult to draw conclusions, will be allowed to review by him.

So when Suderhoff received a submission, he was still very excited. He immediately opened the attachment and read it carefully.

"Hey, the research on the regeneration of neural stem cells in the hippocampal region of the brain is very difficult, but he is an interesting guy. He didn't fool me with some old products of stem cell transplantation."

"The idea is indeed right. Activating brain stem cells is indeed more promising than foreign stem cell transplantation. Let's see how the experiment works?"

At this point, I was fascinated.

It wasn't until the old man turned to the end of the article that he woke up like a dream.

"It's amazing, it's amazing, science should be like this, and it should use simple experiments to clearly reveal scientific principles. This experiment is well designed."

"I'll do an experiment to verify it right away to see if the data is true."

Sudhoff was itchy, picked up his phone and rushed out of the house.

Although he is an old man in his sixties, his steps are still vigorous, and he soon came to his own laboratory in the school.

At this time, it was already four o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the laboratory was pitch-black, and you couldn't see your fingers.

If you were an ordinary person, you would probably take a photo and post it on Moments, "Have you ever seen the Stanford campus at four o'clock in the morning?"

But the old man didn't even look at it. He had a clear goal, moved like the wind, and pressed the light switch with precision in the dark.

Wow!

The laboratory was instantly brightly lit, and Sudhoff flew to the workbench, forgetting to eat and sleep to start the experiment.

Chen Yiqing finished his snacks, drank another cup of black tea, and watched the scenery by the window for a while.

Only then did I return to my desk.

When I opened the mailbox, I saw a reply letter from the editor-in-chief of Cell, waiting quietly in the inbox.

"Hey, so fast! Reply in less than half an hour? The efficiency is really good."

Skillfully calculated the time difference, it was one o'clock in the middle of the night in Yingguo time.

Chen Yiqing couldn't help being surprised by the other party's efficiency.

Click to see:

"Dear Mr. Chen, the manuscript has been read, and I am very pleased to inform you that your manuscript has entered the next review process of the editorial board, and a reply is expected within a week."

"PS: I personally like this article very much, and I think the possibility of passing it is very high."

"Please wait for the good news. ——Your sincere friend, editor-in-chief Sweet."

Chen Yiqing smiled lightly, as it should be, such a high-quality submission will definitely pass the editor-in-chief's review immediately.

Then wait slowly, he got up and walked slowly towards the laboratory.

Three days later, Chen Yiqing received another letter from the editor-in-chief.

"Dear Dr. Chen, thank you for your letter. It is a great honor to inform you that your article has passed the review and will be published on the cover of the journal Cell at the beginning of next month. Please provide a detailed address and we will send you several samples by email. E-mail The latest edition of the journal will be released online in advance and sent to your mailbox, please stay tuned!"

"PS: Last time at the Lasker Awards Gala, I had a cordial conversation with you, and it was really beneficial. Sansheng was lucky. It is really lucky for mankind to have a great scientist like you in a great company like Sanqing. I don't know if you have come recently Is it the plan of the Eagle Kingdom? If so, I hope to have dinner with you on this occasion and meet again."

"—Your devout admirer, John Sweet."

He was shocked again.

"So fast, didn't you say to give a reply in a week?"

"Also, it turned out to be a cover article, and it was published next month, not three months later."

Even if a top student is like Chen Yiqing, he feels a little flattered by how he is treated.

He has never been on the cover of a top issue, nor has an article been published so quickly.

And why is the tone of this editor-in-chief a bit flattering?

Is this the special treatment for breakthrough innovations?

Is this the treatment Mr. Wei enjoys every day?

What's the matter with feeling inexplicably refreshed all over the body?

Every pore of Chen Yiqing felt as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit, and he couldn't help but feel a little buoyant.

However, he has always been stable, and he just keeps it in his heart when he has such a feeling.

He quickly told Wei Kang the news, and then went back to work.

It's just that he seems to be more motivated, and his whole body is flushed and radiant, as if he has taken a tonic.

*****

Time passed quickly, and two weeks passed in a flash.

On the 4th, the top international journal Cell published its latest issue online.

Experts and scholars from all over the world, as well as relevant media, have opened the website one after another, ready to have a glimpse.

The first thing that catches the eye is the cover of the journal. The cover image of each issue is designed according to the cover article.

The neural networks of the brain that are connected together like a star map are extremely bright and radiant, shrouding the top.

At the center, the dark deep part of the brain, the hippocampus, the opposite was true.

Withered brain cells, broken synapses, like ruins, dead silence, shocking.

However, deeper below, there are faint dots of light, flickering endlessly.

Suddenly, white protein molecules jumped into the invisible channel one by one.

Their jumping figures, like meteors passing by, landed on the light spots at the bottom.

There are more and more light spots, like a single spark, quickly starting a prairie fire.

The entire brain center, like a forest of death, began to glow with vitality under the light.

Severed synapses grow back and dead cells are replaced by new neuron cells.

Everything is so vibrant and shocking.

As expected, everyone who saw the cover fell silent.

After that, I didn't even have time to read the table of contents, and frantically flipped through the cover article.

Bull Country, Wudu University.

When Professor Durham came to the office early in the morning, he turned on the computer and waited for the release of the latest issue of the Cell journal.

This is a habit he has developed over the years. He does not want to miss every paper in every issue of the magazine.

By paying attention to the latest research results of peers, you can learn about the most popular directions at the fastest speed. As long as you have quick eyes and hands, follow up immediately, and you will soon be able to produce results and publish papers one after another.

Even if you don't use the topic for the time being, it's great for your graduate students to use.

With this keen sense of smell, he has cultivated many outstanding talents, and he has published a large number of high-quality papers, with an outstanding reputation.

In fact, he learned the ability to pursue the latest scientific hotspots and desperately write papers from his own mentor, a respected Nobel Prize winner.

Soon, when the time comes, the new issue of Cell will be refreshed on time.

He clicked in immediately, and immediately saw the shocking cover.

"The cover article of this issue looks unusual. Could it be an article in the field of neuroscience?"

"Look at the meaning, is the withered brain nerve cells rejuvenated?"

Professor Duron muttered, clicked the mouse frantically, and immediately entered the cover article, and read it eagerly.

A full half an hour passed before Professor Duran read the entire article, and he was dumbfounded and speechless.

"It is definitely the most shocking discovery of this year!"

He muttered to himself, suddenly as if remembering something, he found the list of authors and looked it up.

"The first author and corresponding author are both Yiqing Chen. I have heard of this person. He seems to be the head of the neuroscience laboratory of Sanqing Group. He has contributed a lot in the development of AD specific drugs. My student Lily Zhang went to him. Laboratory work."

"The author behind may be the laboratory personnel involved in the research and development, and they are all typical Chinese names..."

Professor Duran suddenly saw an unusually familiar name, and his eyes froze for a moment.

"The second author, Lily Zhang, could it be her?"

He was very excited for a moment: "oh my god, it can't be my student, it's the second author!"

Generally speaking, different authors of SCI papers have different contributions.

The corresponding author is generally a boss or a mentor. If it is the former, even if it does not make a direct contribution, at least it has provided instruments and equipment. If it is the latter, it is usually him who chooses the topic of the entire paper.

The first work (the first author) usually does most of the content, with a contribution rate of 70%+, and the second work is a good helper, with a contribution rate of 20%+.

The other authors are all soy saucers. They may have discussed with the author once or twice, they may have helped to test a set of samples, they may just have a good relationship, or they may be newcomers. Let’s have a good name, or it may be this This article was posted very well, and everyone took a dip in the rain and dew to shine.

The most important thing about the first work and the corresponding author, especially when the supervisor is a big boss, when it is published in the top journal, it basically shows that the topic selection of the big cow supervisor is good, and the experiment design is good.

As for the first work as a student, its advantages are also very prominent, that is, its strong operational ability.

In layman's terms, if you compare a paper to a son, one is like a father and mother, the other is a stepfather and stepmother, and the third is like a second uncle and aunt.

By analogy, Bai Zuo is the dog next door to the house of the eldest aunt's nephew's second cousin's little aunt.

If you communicate, you are a godfather.

A breakthrough achievement, the top issue of Cell, or the cover article, even if it is a second work, has a great gold content.

Such a qualification, even in Wudu University, is enough to attract attention.

"Oh my god, she's just a graduate student, not even a Ph.D. She already has such achievements."

"She is indeed even better than I imagined. It's a pity that I didn't persevere and left her in Wudu University."

Professor Durham is happy for the achievements of the students, but at the same time, he is saddened by the loss of talents.

It never occurred to him that if he stayed in Wudu instead of going to Sanqing, his students might not be able to make such achievements in their entire lives.

"I have to congratulate her. Maybe during the Christmas holiday, I can consider traveling to China and have a good talk with her."

Professor Duron thought of this, and immediately began to write emails to student Zhang Li.

*****

It wasn't just Professor Durham who was shocked.

And the whole world.

As soon as the article was published, the news, like a computer virus, spread rapidly and spread all over the world.

It was also sent back to the country at the speed of light, which instantly ignited heated discussions on the entire Internet, and directly rushed to the top of the hot search.

In just a few hours, the reading volume reached 230 million.

#华夏研究领读造她#

Wow!

Netizens are all excited.

"Am I dazzled? I'm not mistaken. The brain can also be reborn?"

"Cell cover article, hiss, it's so scary!"

"So you can survive a headshot?"

"Am I really not reading science fiction?"

"Since the brain can regenerate, it is also reasonable that the body can regenerate. Human immortality is just around the corner."

"Can you read the text, which says that brain stem cells can activate regenerative ability, not that a head can grow back after being cut off."

"Wow, it's a new discovery by the scientists of the Sanqing Group. Sanqing is amazing."

"I suddenly had an idea. Since it was discovered by the Sanqing Group, will we soon be able to use drugs that stimulate brain regeneration?"

"There is no mention of clinical trials in the paper, isn't this still in theory?"

"Are you stupid upstairs? If I have such a magic medicine, how can I tell you the details?"

"I analyzed it with my supervisor. The experimental data in this paper is very detailed. Although there is no mention of any clinical trials, according to the development of the idea, the next step should be human clinical trials."

"I just made a shocking discovery, and guess what?"

"Riddler get off the Internet!"

"Okay, okay, I searched for Sanqing's patents in the patent office, but I didn't find anything."

"You said, did Sanqing not research it? Or did it not register a patent?"

"Hiss, I don't dare to think about it when I say that."

"Perhaps Sanqing, like Coca-Cola, treats the researched drugs as commercial secrets and locks them in a safe."

"Isn't this stupid? Don't sell medicine anymore?"

"Maybe it's really not sold to ordinary people, only the rich can buy it with a lot of money."

"Don't say that, I'm really flustered, but I believe Mr. Wei is not that kind of person."

"Hehe, it's hard to say. Do you really believe in capitalists? Do you really think that the rich first will be rich later? I can only say that you are too naive."

"Stop arguing, think about the good, maybe Sanqing really didn't research it."

"That's right, can this magical medicine be developed as soon as it is developed?"

"You may not know that the discoveries of scientists are just experiments. There is still a long way to go before they can enter the clinic. It is already very difficult to make breakthroughs in five or ten years."

"Hearing you say that, I feel much more comfortable."

Netizens were instantly filled with sorrow and joy. They were afraid that Sanqing would not develop a new drug, and they were afraid that they would not tell everyone if it did.

The latter undoubtedly made them more worried.
