"Repeat the MRI before the next infusion."

"Understood," Xu Zhiliang responded, noting down the treatment schedule.

Yang Ping returned to the ward where the infusion was still proceeding smoothly. The medication dripped at a steady pace, and Lin Xiaoyu lay quietly, unaffected. Everything in the ward seemed as it was half an hour ago, but they knew that there was a tangible change within the body. That faint yet convincing positive change shone steadily like a glimmer in the dark, never flickering out.

At 11:20, the infusion process completed smoothly.

Lu Xiaolu skillfully removed the PICC line, applied a sterile dressing, and meticulously instructed the patient’s family on post-operative care, emphasizing hydration, close monitoring of temperature, and any discomfort. The entire procedure was seamless and standard, without any oversight.

Yang Ping stepped out of the ward and paused by the corridor window. Weber and Manstein followed closely, catching up briskly.

"This newly observed necrotic focus," Weber got straight to the point, his tone laced with scientific rigor, "are you certain it’s tumor necrosis and not a pseudo-manifestation caused by inflammation or edema?"

Yang Ping’s eyes were steady: "This is an effective, real change. We’ve conducted in-depth research on this issue and accumulated a substantial amount of clinical data."

Manstein nodded upon hearing this.

By noon, Yang Ping returned to the office.

Tang Shun was already waiting at the door, clutching an experiment folder with a solemn expression and a trace of seriousness that couldn’t be concealed.

"Professor, the data from the AAV spinal repair experiment on day fifty-six is out."

Yang Ping gestured for him to enter. Tang Shun spread the folder on the desk, revealing a substantial stack of experimental charts and data reports.

"BBB locomotor function score: On day fifty-six, the AAV treatment group had an average of 19.2 points, and the control group 13.8 points. The treatment group improved by 0.4 points compared to day twenty-eight, while the control group saw no changes."

Nineteen point two points. In an instant, Yang Ping processed the data in his mind. With a full BBB score of 21 points, 19.2 points meant that the experimental mice could walk normally with only a slight gait abnormality. For the mouse model with spinal cord injury, this score approached complete functional recovery, representing a groundbreaking experimental outcome.

"What are the results of the histological sections?" Yang Ping pressed on for the core pathological data.

Tang Shun turned to the next page, where images of immunofluorescence-stained sections were presented: In the cross-section of the spinal cord, green marked NeuN neurons, red marked GFAP astrocytes, and blue marked DAPI nuclei, with clear layers and contrast.

"In the AAV treatment group, neuronal density on the injured side recovered to 85% of the healthy side; in the control group, it was only 35%."

Eighty-five percent versus thirty-five percent. The difference was nearly two and a half times, and the gap in repair effect was direct and striking.

"When will the day ninety samples be collected?"

"Next Wednesday, all samples will be taken."

"Complete fixation, sectioning, and testing procedures immediately after sampling," Yang Ping stated with certainty, clear about the target, "I want the neuronal repair density on day ninety to be no less than 85%."

Tang Shun quickly jotted down the instructions in his experiment notebook, looking up to remind, "Professor, if this data is to be published, relying solely on the score data isn’t standard. Reviewers will likely request the original behavioral video recordings as supplementary evidence."

"Complete it," Yang Ping decided firmly, "Every time point, every experimental mouse, record the entire process, and later edit and integrate them into a standard video, to be included as supplementary material in the paper."

"Understood," Tang Shun closed the folder and left the office.

The office returned to silence. Yang Ping leaned back in his chair, raising his eyes to gaze out the window. The afternoon sunlight slanted down, casting a warm, golden honey-colored glow on the desk. In the distance, the surface of the city park’s lake was clear and bright, shining under the sun like a mirrored jewel set among the buildings.

At 3:00 p.m., the office phone rang right on time, the caller being Dean Xia.

"Professor Yang, the overall renovation of the new institute is completed, can you come by for an inspection when you have time?"

Yang Ping stood up, grabbing the keys on the desk, and paused slightly at the door, returning to the drawer to take out the worn experimental notebook. From the very day the hypothesis of the unified mechanism for embryonic development and human repair was proposed, this notebook contained densely written experimental data, thought processes, and scientific assumptions, forming the core accumulation of the entire project. He carefully placed the notebook in his bag and left the room.

The new institute featured a complex of buildings, with gray-white stone facades that were simple and elegant, and large floor-to-ceiling windows that were bright and open, offering excellent lighting for the entire building. The brass plaque at the entrance, inscribed with "Sanbo Research Institute," had a protective layer that hadn’t yet been removed, exuding a brand-new quality.

Dean Xia, along with the construction manager and design team, were already waiting at the entrance. Seeing Yang Ping arrive, they immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Professor Yang, please inspect carefully and see if there’s any need for slight modifications."

Yang Ping walked slowly into the main building. On the first floor was a spacious lobby and a multifunctional conference hall that could accommodate thousands for academic conferences. The large windows invited ample natural light, making the interior bright and transparent. The white walls were clean and understated, the light gray floors were flat and neat, and the ceiling light strips were arranged in orderly lines, much like the markings on a well-regulated track.

"When will the whiteboards in the conference hall be installed?" Yang Ping asked as he surveyed the room.

"They’ll be installed tomorrow," the construction manager responded promptly, "We’ve chosen imported magnetic ceramic whiteboards that support projection, are durable, and come with a ten-year warranty."
