Chapter 763: Chapter 681: Playing House

Such a serious and significant topic, and here were a dozen or so amateur students conducting the experiment as if it was child’s play.

However, Tang Shun didn’t dare to make hasty judgments, after all, it was his first time witnessing such a relaxed and free-spirited experimental team.

Moreover, the technology for treating scoliosis with spinal fixation braces was developed by Professor Yang’s amateur team.

Tang Shun carefully examined the work they’d already completed. Surprisingly, there didn’t seem to be any mistakes. Although they were casual in their approach, they carried out their tasks without errors or delays.

The task of extracting inducers was accomplished with ease, indicating their technique was indeed innovative and advanced. This intrigued Tang Shun greatly, so he decided not to interfere with this experiment and see what happens.

If such a major experiment could be successfully completed by these few individuals, it would imply that the design of the experiment and the methods used were indeed advanced.

It’s like a cutting-edge rocket that requires thousands of people working together in a stringent environment to construct. If something in the process doesn’t meet the requirements or if the team’s qualifications decrease, even the slightest error would cause the rocket not to launch.

But if a similarly advanced rocket could be quickly constructed and successfully launched by a dozen students in ordinary circumstances, then...

When comparing the two, the latter’s design or manufacturing method will undoubtedly surpass the former’s.

The smaller the effort required to achieve the same goal, the greater the tolerance for errors, and thus the better the method.

After Zhang Lin and Little Five placed the skin in the cultivator, the remaining work was left to the graduate students led by Li Guodong.

As per the experiment’s requirements, they needed to record measurements of the skin’s area and thickness every day.

As for measuring the area of the skin, they had a specialized measuring application on their smartphones, which was quite convenient.

Tang Shun didn’t need to handle these tasks himself. He pulled out his smartphone and began sending WeChat messages to his numerous Japanese girlfriends one by one. Tang Shun enjoyed using WeChat, and his girlfriends, eager to please him, naturally followed suit.

After all, these girlfriends were all concerned about him. Several of them even argued about coming to China and working with him, while others clamored to settle down in China and start a family with him.

After Zhang Lin and Little Five had finished their work, they sat down to chat with Tang Shun.

When Tang Shun was in Japan, he served as a translator for Yang Ping’s team, so he was already known quite well by Yang Ping’s team members. Zhang Lin and Little Five also saw him as a brother.

"Doctor Tang — "

Tang Shun looked towards the voice and saw Yang Ping at the entrance, accompanied by Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang.

"Professor Yang!"

Tang Shun immediately stood up. He had great respect for Yang Ping. While in Japan, he had spent a few days translating and had witnessed firsthand how the Japanese idolized Yang Ping. His story is still circulating among medical students at Tokyo University.

"I came to check on things. Are you still adjusting to working here? The conditions are a bit simple, but they’ll gradually improve. Much of the experimental equipment will be put in place step by step. Whatever you need, you can apply for it yourself. You have full autonomy. There’s no need to ask my permission. Our foundation has a list of researchers that can directly apply for funding. I’ve taken the liberty of adding your name to it." Yang Ping chatted with Tang Shun in an easy-going manner.

The foundation’s principle is quite simple: as long as the funds are used for scientific research and don’t exceed the budget, they are immediately approved.

But every penny spent must be transparent and traceable, and subject to their supervision. The foundation could investigate the whereabouts of the money at any time.

So, while the foundation was quite generous and liberal, it also monitored rigorously, maintaining openness and transparency in all matters.

"I’m quite used to it, very used to it. I took a walk around the hospital and it’s quite lively." Tang Shun found the environment quite agreeable.

"Putting aside other things, the culinary scene around here is quite plentiful, with a variety of cuisines available."

"If...you like...playing sports, the hospital has...indoor and outdoor...sports courts."

Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang also got along well with Tang Shun. They had already become quite familiar with each other when they were in Japan.

Not only was Tang Shun intelligent, but his emotional intelligence was also high, making him easy to get along with, so everyone liked him very much.

"Professor Yang, I want to ask, have you ever conducted an experiment using this formula before?" Tang Shun was curious about the origin of the formula.

Because he had noticed that Yang Ping was extraordinarily confident in this induction formula.

Yang Ping shook his head: "This is a formula I recently came up with. It’s never been tested. Aren’t you currently testing it? Let’s sit down and talk!"

So it’s never been experimented with before? That means the success rate will be quite low.

Tang Shun obtained his Ph.D. in a top-tier lab in Japan, constantly dealing with stem cells. To derive a clear induction formula requires years of experimental accumulation.

Yang Ping sat down and said slowly: "I read Professor Mainshtan’s paper. He only mentioned the experimental process but didn’t provide detailed data about the key induction formula. Coincidentally, August and Robert recently mentioned the technique of skin expansion in vitro, so I took the time to seriously think about this problem. In fact, whether it’s skin induction, muscle induction, or cartilage induction, the induction formulas have inherent logic. I made a hypothesis about this inherent logic, then used the hypothesis to derive the current formula for skin expansion in vitro. Give me a piece of paper, and I’ll draw a diagram for you."

Song Zimo immediately handed over a sheet of A4 paper, Yang Ping wrote down several dozen inducers, then drew the connections between them, proceeding to explain the functions of these inducers, how they combine, and what functions their combinations could achieve.

Tang Shun took the A4 paper and was greatly startled after reading it. This surgeon’s understanding of stem cell differentiation and induction surpassed his own despite his Ph.D. from Tokyo University.

The principles on that paper, which even his advisor hadn’t been able to figure out for years, now lay clear and concise before his eyes. The diagram outlined the entire induction principle flawlessly, leaving no room for criticism.

In his mind, Tang Shun organized his own knowledge a little. If he were to infer based on Yang Ping’s hypothesis, his previous experiments completely fit this theory.

"I’m a surgeon, not a professional stem cell researcher. You look at this hypothesis and see if it can be used. If it’s useful, take it, if it’s not, discard it." Yang Ping spoke very casually.

Tang Shun immediately clutched the A4 paper: "Useful! Useful! Useful!"

Discard it? This was a gem! Tang Shun planned to thoroughly study it, summarizing his experimental results over the past few years, both his successes and failures, using this hypothesis.

"If skin expansion is successful, we’ll continue to research stem cell cultivation of muscle following this train of thought," Yang Ping went back to the topic at hand.

Tang Shun nodded: "If skin expansion is successful, the thought process represented by this diagram will be correct. If we research muscle cultivation following this train of thought, the overall direction won’t be wrong, and the probability of success will be quite substantial."

"The structure of muscle is much more complex than skin. For skin regeneration, all you need is two layers, the dermis and the epidermis. But for muscles, besides the muscle fibers that make up the muscle, there are also auxiliary structures such as blood vessels and nerves, so the workload of the experiment is immense. Most of the time, I have surgeries to perform and the same goes for Dr. Song and Dr. Xu, so the lab work is going to be tough on you," Yang Ping wholly entrusted the lab to Tang Shun.

Tang Shun was still engrossed in the content on the A4 paper. So far, Tang Shun had received two A4 papers from Yang Ping. Both of these papers had provided him with profound insights.

In the coming days, Tang Shun decided to observe whether the skin could really expand. If it could, he would understand why a dozen students, who conducted experiments as if they were playing house, could achieve world-class results.

Because the method they used might indeed be the most advanced, most efficient, and most error-resistant.
