Has the age of the life sciences come?

When infectious diseases like COVID-19 are raging, we need vaccines and drugs to deal with them, and this is what the life sciences are trying to solve.

Traditional vaccine production cycle is long, in the face of rapid change of the virus, how to deal with? The new vaccine is the use of immune principles, based on antigen and antibody recognition mechanism, the use of core areas to design, can be more rapid production, and timely adjustment.

Traditional drug development takes a long time and is often based on a handful of drugs, such as the well-known penicillin family

Ampicillin. Oxacillin. Amoxicillin, etc. But in the face of emerging organisms, even drug resistance, how to break?

Designing peptide drugs based on pathogen structure has become a new option.

In the past three years, the new coronavirus can be said to be the absolute theme word in the world, and basically all kinds of life are more or less around the new coronavirus. One of the most effective ways to deal with COVID-19 is a vaccine.

Genetic diseases are irritating, difficult to treat after birth, and very worrying.

In this case, three-generation IVF can be based on a strategy of genetic pre-screening to avoid embryos with genetic defects.

For dominant genetic diseases, researchers have been committed to the use of gene editing technology to solve, through the embryo gene editing method, directly from the embryo level to correct genetic errors.

Even for genetically troubled adults, there are cutting-edge attempts to reduce the effects by using gene editing and then introducing it.

As human beings face organ damage that eventually leads to whole-body damage and death, solving organ problems has become an important idea today.

As for the problem of aging and death, which is plagued by countless people, it is now a hot topic of research, and scientists are looking for various anti-aging strategies, and even achieving a certain degree of rejuvenation in animals.

It can be said that the essence of the development of life science is to serve mankind, both when we look up at the bright stars, and more down-to-earth solutions to the problems of birth, old age, disease and death faced by mankind. Therefore, when science and technology have developed to today, it is also time for life science to take off. Huawei's press conference can be said to be the same, representing the attention and cognition of the current world, whether it is the academic community or the industry's top wisdom.

Because of the joint efforts of countless scholars and industry people in the past, we have laid the foundation for the start of life science, and we have begun to be able to explore the more important existence of life, so as to truly return science and technology to human beings themselves.
