After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 190 Is this the truth? !
and many more.

Zhang Yang felt like his brain was about to explode, and he had to sort out the current clues carefully.

"T14 protein" is a new type of specific protein discovered in the latest lung adenocarcinoma cells. Its main function is to interfere with normal cell division and proliferation, thereby inducing normal cells to mutate into cancer cells.

Normally, "T14-specific protein" should have the same interference and induction effect on all cells, but data analysis shows:

The newly discovered "T14-specific protein" is only abnormally sensitive to a certain type of host cells, with extremely high cellular responsiveness; but it is not sensitive to another type of host cells, and the pathway connection between normal cells and "T14 protein" responds poorly.

in other words,

Hosts with a high response to "T14 protein" have a significantly increased chance of induced cancer, while hosts with a poor response have no significant increase in the chance of cancer!
"This situation is most likely caused by the difference in responsiveness of different host cells! I even think it is the genetic difference between East Asians and Westerners!"

"This also explains why Director Dai found in his previous data that the incidence of lung adenocarcinoma in East Asians has increased by about 10% in recent years, while there is no obvious abnormality in Europeans and Americans!"

"However, to be 100% sure, more experimental data is needed, and this is what we must confirm first!"

Zhang Yang took a deep breath and nodded:

“Then the second question is:”

"Where did this lung adenocarcinoma cell carrying the 'T14-specific protein' come from?"

Zhang Yang frowned.

The current time in the simulator is 2018. Based on the comparison with the previous "lung adenocarcinoma cells", it can be determined that before 2018, there was no "T14-specific protein" in the previous lung adenocarcinoma cells.

In other words, lung adenocarcinoma cells carrying "T14-specific protein" have only appeared recently!
Could it be that a large number of gene mutations in lung adenocarcinoma cells in the past year have led to the production of "T14-specific protein" inside the cells?
This answer made Zhang Yang laugh.

It's almost impossible!

It is impossible for cancer cells to mutate into an inducible protein with obvious "responsiveness differences" for no reason...

Then the problem is back to square one.

Where does the “T14-specific protein” carried in the latest lung adenocarcinoma cells come from?

Suddenly, he thought of Wei Tian.

I thought of what Wei Tian mentioned before, that "pneumonia virus" may cause "lung adenocarcinoma"!

Could it be that

“T14 specific protein” is brought by “pneumonia virus”? !
Pneumonia virus?!
It’s not impossible!

Zhang Yang was startled.
The pneumonia virus can completely wrap the "T14 specific protein" in the viral nucleic acid, and when the pneumonia virus invades the lung tissue,

The virus then releases the "T14 protein" and binds to the normal cell receptors in the lung tissue, allowing the "T14 specific protein" to interfere with normal cells and induce cancer!
In this way, there must be a large amount of "T14 protein" in the "lung adenocarcinoma cells" after canceration!

hiss!
Everything seems to make sense!

Pneumonia virus!

It is really possible that it is the "T14 protein" carried by the pneumonia virus!
but!

Another problem arises!

If the hypothesis is true, where does the "T14 protein" carried by the pneumonia virus come from? !

Evans!
Zhang Yang paused, and Evans' image suddenly appeared in his mind!

He clearly remembered that when he asked Evans about his work assignment, Evans was obviously a little nervous and even said something that needed to be kept strictly confidential!
Could it be that his work is related to this pneumonia virus with "T14 protein"? !
Or...the pneumonia virus is related to the "Adrev" biological laboratory?

Instantly, Zhang Yang felt a chill in his heart. He realized that the complexity of the matter seemed to be far beyond his imagination.

He even vaguely realized that he might fall into an extremely huge abyss!

After a few minutes, Zhang Yang came to his senses:
"Now these are all just guesses, and we have to verify them step by step!"

“First, we need to determine whether the ‘T14-specific protein’ is really specific to East Asians!”

In the following time, Zhang Yang suppressed his emotions and devoted himself to the experiment of "T14 specific protein" on cells of different human races.

The "Adrev" biological laboratory itself is a professional lung cancer laboratory. There are a large number of cultured cells of different ethnic types in the experiments, which is convenient for Zhang Yang.

One day, two days, three days.

Zhang Yang observed the proliferation and division of cells of different human races every day. At the same time, he also began to ask indirectly, hoping to get some information about the "pneumonia virus" from Evans.

But every time Zhang Yang mentioned the pneumonia virus, Evans interrupted and told Zhang Yang not to ask.

In desperation, Zhang Yang shifted his attention to the laptop that Evans carried with him every day.

In the first stage of the plot, Evans did not have a laptop, but this time after having a new work assignment, Evans carries it with him every day.

Obviously, the laptop is very likely to contain information about the new work task!

In fact, it is very likely that the data is related to the "pneumonia virus"!

"It seems that if we want to find out the truth, we must find a way to see Evans' laptop."

"But the notebook should have a password, and it's not easy to check it..."

In this way, Zhang Yang kept his composure and waited for time, while also waiting for the results of the human race response experiment of "T14 protein".

After continuing the simulation for twenty days, the detailed racial experimental data of "T14-specific protein" came out, and it was exactly what he thought!
The "T14-specific protein" did not strongly interfere with the genetic cells of Western people. Only 50 of the 2 cell data showed genetic mutations.

The genetic cell response of East Asians is extremely sensitive. As many as 50 out of 8 data points showed cell gene mutations and obvious characteristics of cancer!
At the same time, although some experimental cells did not become cancerous, they also showed various benign changes in cell shape...which are precursors to lung nodules.

At this moment, Zhang Yang has completely confirmed that "T14 specific protein" is indeed abnormally sensitive to East Asians.

This also explains why in reality the incidence of "lung adenocarcinoma" in North Americans and Europeans has not increased significantly in recent years, but only in East Asians has it increased by 10% in just a few years!

It’s all because of “T14-specific protein”!

The next step is to determine whether the "T14-specific protein" really comes from the pneumonia virus?

Early in the morning, Zhang Yang entered the simulator again.

Ever since he noticed the secret that Evans' laptop might contain the pneumonia virus more than 20 days ago, he has been secretly keeping an eye on the laptop.

But during these twenty days, although Evans carried it with him every day, he never opened it in the office, which gave him no chance to even peek at the password.

Of course, Zhang Yang was not completely without gain. After more than 20 days of close attention, he did know the password of Evans' desktop office computer!
But he was not sure whether the passwords of the desktop office computer and the laptop were the same. Thinking of this, looking at the empty seat of Evans who had not come to work yet, he could only sigh in his heart:
"Don't be impatient, we have to wait and see!"

A short while after his sigh, Evans walked into the office with his laptop as usual.

"Morning, Zhang!"

"Morning, Evans."

Zhang Yang greeted Evans skillfully, his eyes quietly sweeping across the laptop.

Evans placed his laptop on his desk, then sat down and turned on his desktop computer.

Taking advantage of this gap, he turned to look at Zhang Yang and continued:

"Zhang, how is the T14 protein analysis going? I see you've been doing a lot of new experiments recently."

"Well, the pathway analysis of T14 protein has been basically completed..."

As he spoke, Zhang Yang subconsciously glanced at the translucent taskbar and suddenly froze.

[Task content: Analyze the T14 protein cell pathway, current progress: 99%. ]

99%!

He remembered that when he exited the simulator yesterday, the progress was only 95%, but after entering the simulator today, the progress reached 99%!

Zhang Yang's heart tightened and he understood instantly!

The main task of this simulation plot should be just to analyze the "T14 protein cell pathway". As for how the T14-specific protein came from, it is not one of the tasks.

I have almost finished analyzing the "T14 Protein Cell Pathway" these days, and the task is considered completed. It is likely that after completing today's work simulation, I will complete the task and get the reward, and then the simulator will enter cooling mode.

"This can't work!"

Zhang Yang's eyes subconsciously fell on the laptop. He still had many questions that he hadn't figured out. He hadn't confirmed whether the "T14 protein" was brought by the pneumonia virus, and whether it was related to the "Adrev" biological laboratory!

"We must find a way to figure this out today!"

"I am now in the Adleev biological laboratory and the secrets are so strict. It will be even more difficult to find out the truth in reality after I exit the simulator!"

"But what should we do now?"

Zhang Yang's mind was working rapidly. The only possible information he could look up now was from the laptop that Evans carried with him. But Evans always carried it with him, so he couldn't just snatch it away, right?
and!

According to the usual simulated scenario, Evans would only stay in the office for about 15 minutes every morning before leaving, which means,
I only have fifteen minutes to think about this problem!

In the blink of an eye, an unprecedented sense of urgency suddenly hit him. The tremendous pressure and sudden change caught Zhang Yang off guard.

What should I do?
Zhang Yang's eyes were filled with anxiety that could no longer be concealed. At this moment, Evans beside him suddenly stood up.

Zhang Yang was startled and said hurriedly:
"Evans, what's wrong with you?"

"My God, I don't know if I ate something bad yesterday. My stomach hurts so much now. I have to go to the bathroom!"

A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Zhang Yang's anxious eyes, and he immediately realized that this might be the only chance!

Seeing Evans jogging towards the bathroom with toilet paper in his hand, he did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly sat at Evans' workstation, then quickly opened the laptop that Evans always carried with him!
Press the power button.

After about ten seconds, the login screen appeared on the laptop.

Sure enough, a power-on password is required.

Zhang Yang quickly entered the password of Evans' desktop computer in his memory and pressed Enter.

One second, two seconds.

Enter the desktop, success!

Zhang Yang took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his inner excitement. He didn't expect that the password of Evans' laptop was the same as that of his office computer!
However, he had no time to get excited and quickly scanned the folders on the computer desktop.

Soon, a folder named "Work" immediately caught his attention.

As soon as he clicked on it, he instantly found the answer he wanted in the secondary directory!

A folder named "T14 pneumonia virus" is listed!
"Damn, there really is a pneumonia virus carrying the 'T14 protein'!"

"Evans' latest work is actually related to the 'T14 pneumonia virus'!"

At this moment he even felt his hands trembling, and his heart seemed about to jump out!
He quickly clicked on a detailed virus document, and about 20 seconds later, he was completely sure that Evans' job was to study and analyze the pneumonia virus carrying the "T14 protein"!

In other words, the entire "Adrev" biological laboratory had actually known and discovered the "T14 pneumonia virus" at this time!
At the same time, they should have discovered, like me, that the "T14 pneumonia virus" is very likely to cause "lung adenocarcinoma" and increase the incidence of lung adenocarcinoma!
call!
Zhang Yang's heart trembled slightly, he couldn't tell whether it was shock or fear.

He continued reading, and a minute later, he saw a conclusion that shocked him even more!

According to Evans' experimental research!

After the "T14 pneumonia virus" carrying the "T14 specific protein" enters the human body, even if the pneumonia virus is eliminated, the "T14 protein" will still remain in the lung tissue with a half-life of up to half a year!
Continue to induce lung cell cancer within half a year!

!!!

This!
This is simply a huge thunder from the sky!

Seeing this, Zhang Yang was already extremely frightened, but there was still one last question!
So where did this pneumonia virus carrying "T14 protein" come from?

Previous pneumonia viruses never had T14-specific proteins.
Could it be artificially created by the "Adrev" biological laboratory? !

He suppressed his shock, held his breath and prepared to continue looking for more clues, but at this moment, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.

Before he could react, a cold voice suddenly appeared.

"Why are you sitting in Evans' seat?"

"Also, you were touching his computer?"

Zhang Yang turned around suddenly and a strange and stern face appeared in front of him.

He was sure he didn't know this person, but!
The voices from other colleagues not far away suddenly made his hair stand on end:
"Hello, Dr. Eric!"

Dr. Eric!
The head of the Adrev Biological Laboratory!
Zhang Yang suddenly got goosebumps all over his body!
