中文简介:
衰老是一种内在的、渐进的功能衰退,最终会影响到我们所有人。虽然每个人都熟悉衰老,但许多关于衰老的基本问题却是神秘的。为什么老年人更容易患癌症、中风和神经退行性疾病?在分子和细胞水平上发生了什么变化导致我们与老年有关的变化?衰老本身是一种疾病吗?我们能否成功地干预衰老过程?这门课程是麻省理工学院生物系提供的许多高等本科生研讨会之一。这些研讨会是为有兴趣利用初级研究文献在高度互动的环境中讨论和学习当前生物研究的学生而设计的。许多本科生高级研讨会的讲师都是对教学有浓厚兴趣的博士后科学家。
课程简介: Aging involves an intrinsic and progressive decline in function that eventually will affect us all. While everyone is familiar with aging, many basic questions about aging are mysterious. Why are older people more likely to experience diseases like cancer, stroke, and neurodegenerative disorders? What changes happen at the molecular and cellular levels to cause the changes that we associate with old age? Is aging itself a disease, and can we successfully intervene in the aging process?This course is one of many Advanced Undergraduate Seminars offered by the Biology Department at MIT. These seminars are tailored for students with an interest in using primary research literature to discuss and learn about current biological research in a highly interactive setting. Many instructors of the Advanced Undergraduate Seminars are postdoctoral scientists with a strong interest in teaching.
