Nobel Prize winner Gordon


On October 8th, XX, the British developmental biologist John Göden and the Japanese University of Kyoto, Yamanaka, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in XX. Unexpectedly, when studying, Gedden's biological performance was the worst in the school. He even was told by the teacher that he was too stupid to study natural science. However, it is this sentence that inspires Gordon and allows Gordon to climb the highest peak of the natural sciences.

On October 2, 1933, John Göden was born in the United Kingdom. Gedden was interested in the natural sciences since he was a child. However, he is not a clever child. He is even stupid and often irritated by asking some strange questions. Although he is very fond of biology, his biological achievements are not ideal, and even the ridicule of the teacher, which makes Gordon very upset.

Gedden’s high school career was spent at Eaton’s prestigious aristocratic secondary school in England, and his academic performance was not satisfactory. In order to improve their "poor students" academic performance, the school specially hired the museum director, Gardham, to make up the lessons for them. Göden is very happy, because Gaddam has extensive knowledge in the natural sciences, and he will learn more by Gardham as his own teacher.

During a class, Gedden stretched out his fingers and asked Gardham: "Teacher, why do the fingers that grow in the hands move, but the fingers that are cut off can't move?" Gardham said: "Because growing in the hands The fingers on the fingers have nerve cells that can accept the instructions of the brain, but the fingers that are cut off can't." Gedden said: "However, the fertilized eggs can not only move, but also grow freely, and why the fingers that are cut off cannot themselves. Growing up?” Gardham was stunned and couldn’t help but shouted: “You stupid, this is the law of growth in nature! Law, do you understand?” Gedden stretched his tongue and whispered: Do not understand."

Gardham not only does not think that Gedden's curiosity is a gift, but that Gordon is a stupid child. Of course, Gardham came to this conclusion mainly because of Gordon's achievements. Although Gardham spent a lot of effort on Gordon's body, but in the high school graduation exam, Gordon's results are still very unsatisfactory, his biological performance turned out to be the worst of the 250 students of the year. When Gardham learned that Geddon loved the natural sciences, he said with surprise: "If you choose natural science at the university, it will be a waste of time, because with your talent, you are completely impossible in the natural sciences. Get any grades!"

The words of Gardham are very irritating to Gordon. He really loves the natural sciences, especially biology, but his biological achievements are so bad, even Gaddam predicts that he can't. What to do? After a period of thinking, he finally gave up his interest and applied for the classical literature at the Christian College of Oxford.

After reporting to the Department of Classical Literature at the Christian College of Oxford, Gordon regretted his choice because he found himself not interested in literature. He was interested in the natural sciences. He decided to challenge Gardham's prophecy and go on his own interest. So he applied to Oxford University and adjusted from classical literature to zoology.

It is undeniable that Göden's foundation is very poor. In order to pass the professional examination, he often has to work harder than others. Oxford is a place where talented people come out. Many students have published or written some weighty papers, but Gordon has been silent. He has been obsessively studying the question of "why the chopped fingers can't regenerate". Of course, this is a complicated problem, which is related to the reversal of the special function of the cells. He shut himself in the lab, experimenting again and again, failing again and again.

When Gordon was most frustrated, he would consciously and unconsciously take out the transcript of the middle school, which is the worst transcript, recalling Gardheim’s prophecy over and over again: "You can't be in the natural sciences. Get any results!" At this time, Gedden's heart will have a strong motivation. He said to himself: "I can do it, I want to prove myself!" In this way, he stood up again and again from failure and restarted himself. experiment of.

After several years of hard work, Gordon, who is pursuing a master's degree at Oxford University, has finally succeeded in transforming a pair of mature somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells. He published a paper that first pointed out that the special function of cells can be reversed. This paper has caused great repercussions in the biological world, because experts have agreed before that the mature cell development process is irreversible. According to Göden, the cut fingers can grow freely like fertilized eggs under certain conditions.

This view of Gordon was not recognized by the academic community until XX years, and directly led to the birth of the world's first somatic cell clone, Sheep Dolly. Since then, Göden's academic views have completely subverted human understanding of self-development and cell differentiation, and have produced increasing value in medicine.
