In a university, especially one like Darwin College that has made great achievements in the field of biology, it is very easy to find a biological laboratory.
Murphy and Rita Montalcini, whose curiosity he successfully aroused, walked into a laboratory under the guidance of the dean of the college and several professors.
A cell biology professor introduced his laboratory. He was also a researcher of nerve cells. Soon, he asked several graduate students to prepare the materials for the experiment.
It was a mouse with the nerve of one leg cut off.
"I have most of the materials needed for neurobiology here. You can tell me directly if you need anything." Although the professor did not believe Murphy's boasting, he was willing to provide a little help on the issues that aroused the interest of the big boss.
Murphy looked around and said, "The things are complete, but I guess you may not have this."
As he said, he took out a small bottle of white fresh essence from his pocket.
"Please fix the mouse's leg, expose the affected part, and rinse it so that we can see the broken nerve clearly." Murphy naturally instructed a graduate student.
The girl, who was several years older than Murphy, was stunned for a moment, but under the concern of the tutors and professors, she did not dare to raise any objections and did it honestly.
Murphy took a dropper seriously, drew out a few drops of white fresh essence, and dripped it on the wound.
Murphy was already used to the next scene.
Everyone watched the wound heal in just a few seconds in amazement, and the mouse was jumping around as if it had never been injured, and they discussed the mechanism behind this magical scene fiercely.
Rita was also very surprised, "This may indeed be a Nobel Prize-level discovery. What is the name of your substance, and what is its cellular mechanism?"
Finally waiting for this question, Murphy shook his head embarrassedly, "I don't know what cellular mechanism is involved. In fact, this is exactly why I want to talk to you today. I discovered this substance, I know its effect, but I don't understand the logic behind it."
"As for the name of this substance, maybe someone has heard of it. It is Yunduan Baiyao."
"Yunduan Baiyao, are you talking about the trauma treatment agent that has been making a lot of noise recently?"
Among the scholars who followed, there are also those related to medicine. They are almost tired of hearing the name Yunduan Baiyao these days.
Rita had never heard of Baiyao, but soon someone explained the recent turmoil to her, and she looked at Murphy with a different look, "You said you discovered this substance, who are you? What is your relationship with that company?"
"You can call me Murphys Annon. I founded Umbrella Corporation."
"It seems that today's presentation is not just a simple academic discussion." Rita said.
Murphy thought about it and decided to confess, "Yes, you have also seen the effect of Baiyao. It can heal trauma in just a few minutes or even seconds, which is something that no other medicine could do before. Baiyao has extremely broad application prospects in trauma treatment, first aid, nerve repair, and even medical cosmetology."
"However, the powerful effect of Baiyao has also caused pressure from many pharmaceutical companies. They..."
"Wait," Rita interrupted Murphy's long speech, "You want me to stand up for your drug?"
Murphy was speechless for a while, and after a while he said, "I just want you to be able to verify its effect to prove its great use..."
"Have your drugs been clinically tested?"
"No, the Drug Safety Committee is delaying the issuance of clinical licenses, But the effect of Baiyao has been verified by many buyers..."
"Young man." Rita pressed her hands down, as if to calm Murphy's emotions, "The effect you just demonstrated is indeed amazing. Maybe your medicine has a huge application space and great potential for development..."
"But you don't know how it works," Rita said, "It is a black box for you and everyone who uses it."
"Its effect, perhaps as you wish, is due to an extremely stable and effective biochemical mechanism, and will not cause rejection or adverse reactions in anyone."
"But, countless lessons in history tell us that when we abuse something before we understand it, it often leads to many unexpected tragedies. "
"I am one of the discoverers of growth factors. Growth factors can promote cell development, repair and regeneration. It sounds like a very good thing. But did you know that it can also promote the growth of cancer cells, and it is much more effective than normal cells. It may even lead to the birth of cancer cells."
"It is not a researcher's job to only see the benefits of a thing and ignore its potential risks."
"I'm sorry, young man. Maybe you can consider waiting until the drug has been clinically verified before putting it on the market."
When Murphy heard this, he knew he had failed.
From the perspective of scientific rigor, her words made a lot of sense and could not be refuted at all.
Rita Levi Montalcini is a scientist. Even from the perspective of being responsible for her academic reputation, she would not easily stand for anything that has not been fully verified.
Rita was ready to leave after she finished speaking, but Murphy was still a little unwilling, "Don't you want to know the therapeutic principle behind Baiyao? You yourself said that this is a Nobel Prize-level discovery!"
Rita had already walked to the door of the laboratory. After hearing this, she paused and said, "Young man, I am already 78 years old. My energy is not as good as before. Although I don't want to admit it, my scientific research career is basically over."
"I am not Marie Curie. I don't have her talent and luck to win the award twice."
"Giving speeches everywhere, telling stories, and luring young people into this business are the few things I can do now."
"But you are right. I really want to know the reason behind this experiment. "Although I won't be a way for your company and drug platforms, I may still find a way to study. This may be the risk of a researcher. Our curiosity will never be enough. Personally, they are all very good scholars. They should be more helpful to you. Chat, I want some of the original liquid just now to conduct experimental research. The secret of Baixian Essence is worth a lot of money, how could he give it to others?
After the research institute is built in the future, he will only provide the real Baixian Essence liquid to those researchers who can serve him wholeheartedly.
And he has to sign a confidentiality agreement with them.
Hmm... maybe just signing an agreement is not enough, and he should also make an unbreakable oath or something?
Thinking about these things in his mind, when Murphy was about to walk around the university campus again, the mobile phone rang.
In the surprised and envious eyes of the students, Murphy took out the black brick, "Hello? Who?"
"Mr. Parker, yes, it's me, Wood. Mr. Parker? Can you hear me?"
