Chapter 1385: Chapter 1048: Live Like Sumr Flowers Chapter 1385: Chapter 1048: Live Like Sumr Flowers The ti it takes for a virus to replicate through division is 6-8 hours, which is an astonishing speed.
About one billion viruses piled together are approximately the size of a grain of rice. Starting with one virus as a seed and undergoing exponential division, it takes about 30 replications to reach approximately one billion viruses, and these 30 divisions take about 150 hours, which is around 6 days.
The speed of viral division is so fast, as such, it also poses a high risk.
If all the divided viruses do not mutate, or if mutations are minimal and do not deviate from our expectations, generally speaking, there is no problem. That’s because the consequences caused by these viruses are already anticipated and controlled by the experinters, and the viruses used are carefully selected, posing no significant harm to the human body. Viruses like the asles virus and Herpangina Virus have minimal and transient negative effects on the human body.
The most terrifying situation is when the virus mutates unexpectedly and uncontrollably during replication. Once such mutations occur, the harm caused by the virus will exceed our predictions and control, and these mutated viruses can still divide exponentially, increasing in numbers.
If these new viruses possess so pathogenic properties, once they enter the human body, without effective drugs to eliminate them, or if the human immune system is unable to eliminate them, it is equivalent to the patient contracting a new viral disease. Of course, the probability of this risk occurring is very low.
Viral cultivation experints must be conducted in a biosafety level three laboratory, hence Lu Xiaolu needs to carry out the viral experint in the high-safety biological laboratory at Nandu dical University. At present, the Stem Cell Laboratory and the Tumor Laboratory at the Surgical Research Institute do not possess such conditions; these laboratories are not prepared for viral experints.
During Lu Xiaolu’s studies in Germany, he was extensively exposed to these interdisciplinary fields, so he is quite familiar with tumor immunotherapy, biological therapy, targeted therapy, and oncolytic virus therapy. He is most suitable for conducting this experint.
The professors at the virus laboratory at Nandu dical University are very willing to cooperate with Sanbo Hospital, so they quickly reached a cooperation intent, and Professor Brian introduced a Nobel Prize-winning virologist who will soon start cooperation and exchanges with Lu Xiaolu.
Yang Ping and Lu Xiaolu went to Nandu dical University to inspect the virus laboratory, and after a long discussion with Zhang Zhiwei, the director of the virus laboratory, Yang Ping and Lu Xiaolu decided to take a stroll around the campus of Nandu dical University. Whenever they get the chance to visit, they make ti to take a walk around.
On a tree-lined avenue, from a distance, Yang Ping saw Principal Ruo, who was at the school to handle the procedures for his early retirent.
Principal Ruo had resigned because of the issues related to Guan Ruyan and Principal Ding. Professor Su Qingyun succeeded Principal Ruo as the new principal of Nandu dical University and also took over as dean of Nandu First Affiliated Hospital.
Indeed, Principal Ruo was a good principal, upright and daring, with a strong scholarly deanor. He made significant contributions to the developnt of Nandu dical University during his tenure, implenting many aningful reforms, and also provided considerable assistance to Yang Ping during that ti.
When Principal Ruo resigned, Dean Xia, Professor Su, Yang Ping, and others had dinner with him and organized a farewell ceremony.
From a distance, Yang Ping saw Professor Su and several vice-principals talking with Principal Ruo, surrounded by a large group of students. These students didn’t want to part with Principal Ruo; upon hearing that he had returned to handle procedures, they spontaneously gathered to shake hands with him.
Principal Ruo also saw Yang Ping, and they waved at each other from afar before coming together for a handshake.
“Professor Yang, how have you been? I heard you’ve recently been working on experints involving virus therapy for tumors. Our school’s Zhang Zhiwei is quite excellent. He has previously worked in top virus laboratories in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany, with outstanding academic achievents,” Principal Ruo remarked, looking very energetic and clearly not suffering from any retirent syndro.
“Yes, we ca here specifically to discuss a collaborative project with Professor Zhang. How about you, how have you been?” Yang Ping also showed concern for Principal Ruo’s recent situation.
“Well, I am returning to my roots, having recently visited my hotown for ancestral rites. The local governnt heard of my retirent and wanted to co back as a governntal advisor for education. To this end, the mayor of our hotown visited here three tis; I couldn’t refuse and agreed to help with education, which gives sothing to do in retirent,” Principal Ruo said with emotion.
It seems that Principal Ruo is also soone who can’t stay idle.
“Professor Yang, have you t with Professor Zhang Zhiwei?” At ho, Professor Su would generally address Yang Ping as Xiao Yang, but here, she formally referred to him as Professor Yang.
“We’ve t, had a long chat, and we just visited the laboratory. I told Professor Lu that it’s rare for us to co here, so we planned to take a walk around the campus,” Yang Ping quickly explained.
The crowd of students around them grew larger, with many teachers also joining. The entire road was packed, more bustling than a celebrity appearance, Yang Ping noted, observing that there were thousands of people, and their numbers were still increasing; they spontaneously lined up along the road, leaving the middle open.
“Principal Ruo, we miss you so much!”
