Jiangcheng has long sought to develop the biopharmaceutical industry, and its Optics Valley Industrial Park plan includes the biopharmaceutical sector.

For example, in 2009, the international giant Pfizer was brought in to establish a biomedical research and development center in Optics Valley.

Domestic companies including WuXi AppTec and Sinopharm Group, as well as German company ChemBerlin, all have R&D centers in Optics Valley.

However, there are no well-known giants in the biopharmaceutical industry in Optics Valley. Optics Valley wants to build a trillion-yuan biopharmaceutical industry chain, but there is no company with enough influence and strength to serve as the leader.

Just as Hangzhou's internet industry is exceptionally developed because of Ali (a famous Chinese fox spirit), it's no exaggeration to say that Ali, a single giant, has driven the entire internet economy of Hangzhou.

Li Miaomiao declined over the phone: "Our headquarters is in Suzhou, and Nanjing has always wanted to poach us."

“Every time our General Manager Cheng Gang goes to Jinling for a meeting, the Jinling leadership explicitly or implicitly suggests that a company like ours should go to Jinling to have more room to grow.”

"The problem is that Zheng Li thinks Suzhou is quite nice, so why move around? He likes quiet and clean places, and Suzhou's high-tech industrial park meets his requirements."

"As for Optics Valley, you know it's been under constant construction and renovation, so it's probably not very quiet."

“You can tell the leaders of Donghu New Area that Suzhou or even the province will never let us leave.”

Now it was Li Xulin's turn to sigh: "The leaders of Jiangcheng told me that as long as you are willing to move, they will take care of everything at the government level."

For companies like Kechuang Biotechnology, the annual tax revenue is a significant source of income for the city, and more importantly, it enhances the city's overall influence.

From bringing business to upstream and downstream enterprises in Jiangcheng's biopharmaceutical industry, to retaining high-end talent resources from Jiangcheng's university cluster, and to having a leader in the development of the biopharmaceutical industry, it would be of great significance for Kechuang Bio to return to Jiangcheng.

Of course, Suzhou would not agree to Kechuang Bio's departure. Suzhou's biopharmaceutical industry has developed rapidly, especially in the last two years after Kechuang Bio rose like a rocket, Suzhou's biopharmaceutical industry has developed even more rapidly.

For cities, outstanding companies can only wait.

Shenhai has always been criticized for lacking internet DNA. Even internet giants like Shanda, which were once at the height of their power, went from being extremely successful to being on the verge of collapse in Shenhai.

Compared to going north

Li Miaomiao: "The problem is that I don't have the final say. Zheng Li isn't keen on relocation. I can bring it up, but he probably won't agree."

"However, if we set up a research and development center in Jiangcheng, I am confident that I can persuade him."

“I’ve talked to Zheng Li about the future applications of brain-computer interfaces in some specialized medical fields and certain specific areas. This part of the research could be conducted in Jiangcheng.”

Lincoln County, in southern Nevada, is home to the famous Area 51.

Warning signs are visible everywhere on the road to Area 51, confirming that there are indeed secret laboratories located in America.

After faking his death, Simmons was transferred here by the American military. After completing his weekly routine blood tests, Simmons went to the room where the head of biological research, Sasson, was located.

"Professor, how are you feeling today?"

Simmons: "I'm in a great mood. I never thought I'd be embarking on such a fantastic journey at the end of my life. From the moment I injected the brain, I felt like my brain had returned to when I was twenty."

"Nothing could make an old man feel younger and happier. Even though I've changed my environment and said goodbye to my family forever, I feel great now."

Sassoon, who not only holds a PhD in biology but also a PhD in psychology, encouraged:

"It's good to maintain this mindset."

"Based on your test results, your cells have indeed regained the activity they had when you were young, and your feeling is correct."

"Take the neural stem cells in your brain as an example. The number of neural stem cells decreases as you age."

Previously, we thought this process was related to the depletion of genetic information, which led to cellular aging.

In recent years, we have discovered that the aging of neural stem cells may also be related to certain mediators.

In addition to their function of anchoring chromatin around the cell nucleus, lambs also contribute to the aging of neural stem cells.

The Lamin A (LA) mutation, encoded by LMNA, disrupts the shape and function of the cell nucleus and leads to cellular senescence.

The intrinsic regulatory mechanism of age-dependent changes in hippocampal neural stem cell activity mediated by lamin B1 is also an important cause of neural stem cell aging.

Simmons was a little confused. He was an expert in mathematics and finance, but still catching up on biology. "Sorry, I may not understand these technical terms."

Sassoon summarized it in two sentences: "It means that the neural stem cells in your body regained their activity after the injection of the magic brain, but this recovery is most obvious at the level of brain cells, and not so obvious in other human cells."

Simmons: "I am already very satisfied to be able to live out my old age so clearly, and I feel that my perception of the outside world is much stronger than before."

"I can feel not only the flow of wind and changes in temperature, but also the fluctuations in the intensity of rays and light, and even the flow of my body's cells."

Sasson:

"I have to admit, Merlin's brain is a very magical thing; it induces further differentiation of the neurons in your body."

In vertebrate neurons, neurotransmitter release at synapses is guided by action potentials, while in sensory synapses, release is driven by receptor potentials that direct hierarchical cell engulfment and exocytosis.
