With this paper, Addison Bryce first showed his talent in the academic world and became a star figure in Tsinghua University (Addison chose Tsinghua University in the previous article). In addition, some companies came to him, trying to acquire his patents at a lower cost while the technology has not yet fully demonstrated its value.
However, the popularity ended there. After all, this kind of technology is too far away for the general public, and people don't pay attention to it, and the media is also not interested. Unless Addison Bryce can use this technology to overcome the world's five major incurable diseases such as AIDS and cancer, it will be difficult to attract widespread attention.
At this moment, Addison Bryce has exactly this plan. Single-base gene editing technology is just a small test for him, and now he has set his sights on incurable diseases such as AIDS and cancer.
These terrifying incurable diseases are extremely difficult to cure by traditional medical means. But with the help of gene therapy technology, it is possible to achieve a cure. Single-base gene editing technology is an "ideal" tool for gene therapy technology, which can accurately edit target genes.
In the study room of Tsinghua University Library, Addison Bryce finished reading "Pathogenesis of AIDS", put the book on the pile of thick books on the right, and picked up "Mysteries of the Human Immune System" from the left, and read it attentively.
After reading for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"The human macrophages, like the guards of the immune system, patrol the body diligently around the clock, and can devour bacteria, viruses, cancer cells and other pathogens."
"However, macrophages are vulnerable to HIV and have become the "meal" of HIV."
"If I modify the genes of macrophages so that it can kill HIV and recognize cells infected by HIV, and then devour and eliminate these infected cells together, can't I conquer AIDS?"
"For ordinary scientists, this is by no means an easy task, because they have limited knowledge of the activities of HIV after entering macrophages, and they don't know how macrophages work. Why macrophages can't fight HIV. "
"But for me, this is a highly feasible plan. I can completely control the macrophages in my body to make them engulf HIV, so as to find out why they can't fight HIV, and then modify the genes of macrophages in a targeted manner. "
"Next, further modify the genes of macrophages so that they can recognize cells infected by HIV and engulf and destroy these cells. "
"If successful, I just need to repeat the whole process in the laboratory. "
"Yes, let's do it. "
Addison Bryce raised his head excitedly, put away the books on the table, and planned to return the books first, and then go to find HIV.
Ordinary people are afraid of HIV, but Addison Bryce is not afraid. He can perfectly control every cell in his body and operate any substance in the cell at the atomic level. No matter how powerful HIV is, it is made up of molecules, and molecules are made up of atoms. Addison Bryce can directly decompose HIV into atoms, so how can he be afraid of it? Even a virus more powerful than HIV can only "surrender" once it enters Addison Bryce's body. Of course, he is temporarily powerless against viruses in other people's bodies.
However, when Addison Bryce stood up, he found that more than half of the people in the study room were looking at him eagerly, and most of them were girls. The fiery gaze in their eyes seemed to melt Addison Bryce.
Addison Bryce felt helpless. Since becoming a celebrity at Tsinghua University, he has been given many titles such as "Tsinghua University Campus Prince", "The Strongest Academic Bully", and "Legendary Freshman", and has gained a large group of female fans who want to pursue him. Wherever he goes, he is the focus of everyone's attention, and he is often approached by girls. This makes Senior Qin Wei nervous, fearing that he will be abducted by some "little fairy". Every time he comes to the library, Senior Qin Wei will accompany him.
At this moment, Qin Wei, a senior student, was beside him. She also stood up, her eyes full of "murderous intent", scanning the girls who were trying to pursue Addison Blythe, thinking: I haven't even succeeded yet, and you want to get there first? Humph, come at me if you can. Addison Blythe shrugged, walked out of the study room with a pile of books, returned the books first, and then left the library with the senior student. Just as she was about to say goodbye to the senior student, she unexpectedly received a call from her roommate Emma. Emma and her boyfriend wanted to invite the senior student and Addison Blythe to have dinner together. Addison Blythe did not refuse. After all, when it comes to dating, it is necessary to integrate into each other's circle.
