Chapter 1178: Chapter 926: Do You Dare to Try Charging Up?_2

"Extract T lymphocytes from the patient’s body, then modify them, and finally transfuse them back into the patient’s body,"

Yang Ping said to Tang Shun.

Tang Shun said worriedly, "There’s no problem with the technology, but it involves intellectual property, and also our CAR-T cell production requires a specialized laboratory, Professor?"

Yang Ping said affirmatively, "To show respect for intellectual property, we’ll circumvent their patent by using the method I provide. It’s very simple, requires fewer steps, and doesn’t demand high conditions."

At this point, A4 paper should be presented. Knowing the Professor’s habits, Tang Shun had already passed the pencil and A4 paper to Yang Ping before he even reached out for it.

Yang Ping only thought briefly before he wrote down a completely new CAR-T cell production method on the A4 paper. Tang Shun looked at it and couldn’t help but admire the divine thinking—the steps were fewer, and it could be completed with existing equipment. As for the sterile requirements, the stem cell laboratory’s sterile conditions were entirely up to the task.

"Professor Yang, if you release this method, the current mainstream methods in the world will bleed losses," Tang Shun exclaimed in amazement.

Li Yingtong was also astonished that Professor Yang could, with just a few strokes on a piece of A4 paper, present the world’s most cutting-edge technology. If this method were to be widely adopted, gold would be turned to stone.

"Indeed, my method will turn gold into stone, but out of respect for the market, I won’t introduce it just yet."

There are some things that most people only see on the surface, but Yang Ping was considering deeper issues.

Song Zimo, looking at the method on the A4 paper, joked, "Professor, this is dangerous. With such casually conceived methods, you could overturn the entire market, disturb other people’s cheese, and those pharmaceutical giants would see you as a thorn in their side. I’m really concerned about your safety."

"Rest assured, if anyone dares target me, they will be the first to destroy themselves because I hold a vast reserve of technologies in my hand. Out of respect for the existing market structure, I’m just quietly holding on to them. However, if they come after me, these technologies will automatically spread unrestricted online, allowing any company in the world to produce them cheaply, instantly leveling the field between the giants and the ordinary companies, and destroying the foundations of the giant companies. It’s only because I respect the current ecosystem that I haven’t done this. If someone forces me to, as you suggest, then I can only snap my fingers reluctantly," Yang Ping also said, jokingly.

In fact, these technologies’ safety had yet to be verified, so Yang Ping could not possibly spread them on a large scale for the time being. If there were any safety issues, it would be difficult to contain them later.

Therefore, Yang Ping was very cautious; once the technologies were mature and safe, they would slowly spread through the internet. It required a perfect rhythm, to serve as a catalyst in the industry, without destroying the current industry’s motivation and innovation mechanisms.

"Alright, I’ve given out the draft. Let’s discuss how to proceed and establish a strict and standardized process," Yang Ping put down his pencil.

A world-class cell therapy, which would typically require countless researchers working together, was here settled by just a few people, a pencil, and a piece of A4 paper. What a magical place this was.

Li Yingtong found it hard to believe that this was true. Had she not experienced it firsthand, she would never have believed it.

Li Ruizhong hesitated when Doctor Zhao suggested he could volunteer for the experiment. After thinking it over, he said, "I’ll ask Professor Zhang before I decide."

Clearly, Li Ruizhong trusted only Professor Zhang, and he went back to the outpatient clinic to find him. After Professor Zhang finished seeing his patients and took a short break, he chatted with Li Ruizhong.

Upon hearing Li Ruizhong’s concerns about participating in the experiment, Professor Zhang said amiably, "Don’t worry, it’s very safe. This is our own technology, and we’re offering it to you for free. If you used an external one, it would cost you 1.2 million for a single shot. Currently, this type of cell therapy could cure your tumor. Considering your financial situation, we thought you could go the volunteer route and receive it for free."

Li Ruizhong trusted Professor Zhang completely. Moved by what Zhang said, he grasped Professor Zhang’s hand excitedly, saying, "A great kindness, thank you! Professor Zhang, you are a living bodhisattva."

"Don’t say that. As long as you trust us and cooperate with us, we will definitely find a way for you," Professor Zhang said kindly.

Li Ruizhong didn’t dare to take up too much of Professor Zhang’s time, knowing that other patients were waiting outside. He immediately said, "I’ll go back to the ward and sign up right now."

Once back in the ward, Li Ruizhong found Doctor Zhao, who was in charge, to sign up. He agreed to volunteer and take part in the clinical trial. He didn’t understand the details but trusted whatever Professor Zhang said. If Professor Zhang said it was possible, then it was.

After signing up and preparing everything, Song Zimo personally took Li Ruizhong’s blood sample and carried the blood to the stem cell laboratory for cell separation. After separating the T lymphocytes from the blood, they were purified and then placed in a thermostatic refrigerator and taken to the genetics laboratory at Nandu Medical University for genetic modification. Once modified, the cells were sent to Sanbo Stem Cell Laboratory for amplification. After sufficient growth, the cells were placed into sterile vials. The entire process ensured sterile operations, but this was not a challenge for a laboratory engaged in stem cell research.

The mainstream technology for the process required about a month. Yang Ping’s method only needed about seven days to obtain qualified modified T lymphocytes.
