From small clinic to medical empire

Sure enough, as the volume continued to decrease, the [Self-Aiming Needle] eventually became an extremely thin fiber stick.

At the same time, Zhang Zifan picked up a small amount of pork tissue with tweezers, placed it on a glass slide, and used [Deconstruction Eye] on it.

This time, Zhang Zifan didn't dare to use the 8th and 9th floors all at once.

The deconstruction effect of only 3 layers caused the lysis of one of the pig fat cells at the organelle level.

Zhang Zifan got a complete white plate cell with cytoplasm inside, and a bunch of scattered small organelles.

The most numerous of them are the small milky white groups.

These small groups of white flowers are what most women hate-fat particles.

Ignoring these fat particles, Zhang Zifan controlled the [self-aiming car needle] to repair the most severely damaged organelle - the endoplasmic reticulum.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a working platform for the synthesis of proteins, triglycerides, and carbohydrates. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum of liver cells also has the function of detoxification.

However, what Zhang Zifan deconstructed was pig fat cells, not pig liver cells.

The most important functional components of this endoplasmic reticulum are used to synthesize triglycerides.

In order to increase the surface area, the endoplasmic reticulum presents a tortuous shape, but now, this net has been broken by fine ice crystals, and the three-dimensional structure has also been destroyed.

The function of [self-pointing needle] is to automatically navigate and correct the operator's small operation deviation, and it does not say that it must be used on a dental handpiece.

On the contrary, not to mention the power of the self-aiming plug itself, this bur is also easier to use than the traditional glass thin tube when performing "surgery" at the organelle level.

The rough fine steel sand particles on its head become a very good contact surface when playing with the endoplasmic reticulum, and it is not easy to make the mesh surface slip off.

With the help of the self-targeting attribute, Zhang Zifan accurately removed the completely damaged and denatured parts of the endoplasmic reticulum, and at the same time spliced ​​together the more complete parts.

Finally, Zhang Zifan dropped a small drop of [universal potion] on the blank space of the glass slide, dipped a small amount of liquid with the [self-aiming needle], and smeared it on the damaged endoplasmic reticulum.

Then, Zhang Zifan opened a small opening in the cell membrane of the white plate cell, and carefully inserted the endoplasmic reticulum back.

Use [Master Glue] again to fuse the two membrane systems of cell membrane and endoplasmic reticulum, and close the small opening.

At this moment, a magical scene happened.

Returning to the endoplasmic reticulum inside the cell, it actually recovered a certain biological activity.

Small white droplets on the endoplasmic reticulum begin to form.

This is cellulite!

After Zhang Zifan's repair, the originally fragmented pig fat cells once again showed the biological function of synthesizing triglycerides.

But the process was soon over.

After all, this cell does not even have a nucleus, nor does it have organelles such as the Golgi apparatus that assist lipid synthesis.

Once the remaining lipid synthesis materials and catalytic enzymes on the endoplasmic reticulum are consumed, biosynthesis ceases.

But this is not important.

The important thing is that this simple experiment proved that Zhang Zifan achieved the feat of operating on cells by relying on his existing skills!

Taking a long breath, Zhang Zifan rubbed his wrist that was sore due to high tension.

The orthognathic surgery in the morning was obviously more complicated. My hands were not sore at all, but this time they were extremely tired.

It seems that the exercise of the right hand still needs to be strengthened!

……

In the next period of time, Zhang Zifan frequently went in and out of the laboratory to conduct various experiments.

He selected various animals, plants, fungi, and bacterial cells for deconstruction training, and gradually became proficient in the operation of organelle surgery.

At the same time, several experiences have been summed up.

First, although Zhang Zifan’s [Eye of Deconstruction] can deconstruct cells of different sizes.

However, when deconstructing small-sized cells such as Porythomonas, it consumes significantly more energy.

Second, the virus does not have cell deconstruction, and cannot be deconstructed by the first and third layers of the [Deconstruction Eye].

But if the target cell is already infected with a virus, the deconstruction effect begins at layer 6, where the virus' protein coat can be found.

Third, the smaller the target volume, the more difficult it is to operate the [Self-aiming bur].

But the difficulty mainly lies in the first-level movement trajectory controlled by Zhang Zifan himself, and the fine operation will be automatically corrected by the bur instead.

……

After summing up the rules, Zhang Zifan planned to complete an experiment, record the experimental process, and write a paper.

The content of the experiment is designed to be very interesting.

In order to reproduce the process of capturing mitochondria and chloroplasts in the ancestors of eukaryotic cells, an animal cell and cyanobacteria can achieve intracellular symbiosis.

It may sound absurd to let animal cells have photosynthetic cyanobacteria, but it actually makes a lot of sense.

The knowledge of mitochondria and chloroplasts has been described in junior high school biology textbooks.

The former is found in animal and plant cells and can be used for aerobic respiration and energy production.

The latter is only found in plant cells and can be used for photosynthesis and synthesis of organic matter.

According to the knowledge in middle school textbooks, we think that mitochondria and chloroplasts are just ordinary organelles.

But if you are a particularly careful student, you may find that mitochondria and chloroplasts are fundamentally different from other organelles, that is, they have their own independent genetic material—DNA.

Rather than being like ordinary organelles, it is completely controlled by the DNA in the nucleus.

For example, the DNA in human mitochondria, the so-called mDNA, comes completely from the mother, does not participate in the meiosis of germ cells, and is a true eternal lineage.

This apparently abnormal phenomenon has puzzled scientists for many years, and finally produced a major conjecture in the evolution of life.

Namely: Mitochondria and chloroplasts were originally prokaryotic bacteria that survived independently. After being swallowed by our ancestors, ancient eukaryotes, they were not digested, and a symbiotic relationship was formed.

From then on, they reproduced from generation to generation in eukaryotic cells.

In other words, in essence, today, the mitochondria that provide most of the energy for our body are actually a group of mercenaries.

And we breathe constantly, the oxygen we absorb is not for ourselves, but for these mercenaries.

Only these mercenaries prefer an aerobic environment, while humans themselves are deeply poisoned by oxygen free radicals.

"Oxygen is poisonous, you only need to breathe it for 100 years and you will die!"

This is actually not just a joke.

Therefore, the experiment that Zhang Zifan wants to carry out, using animal cells to fuse cyanobacteria, plays an important role in confirming the above theoretical conjecture.

This is also an important basic theoretical research on delaying human aging.

Of course, because the project is too grand, even if Zhang Zifan opens the plug-in, he will not be able to complete it in a few months.
