中文简介:
你有没有考虑去药房为你生病的心脏订购一些新的心肌细胞(心肌细胞)?这可能听起来很疯狂,但干细胞科学的最新发展使这个概念不那么具有未来感。在本课程中,我们将探讨使用干细胞治疗疾病的背后的潜在生物学,特别是分析使单个基因组编码从神经元到成纤维细胞到T细胞的多种细胞状态的机制。总的来说,我们希望全面了解这个令人兴奋的新研究领域及其临床相关性。本课程是麻省理工学院生物系提供的许多高级本科研讨会之一。这些研讨会专为有兴趣使用初级研究文献的学生量身定制,以便在高度互动的环境中讨论和了解当前的生物学研究。高级本科生研讨会的许多讲师都是博士后科学家,他们对教学非常感兴趣。
课程简介: Have you ever considered going to a pharmacy to order some new cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells) for your ailing heart? It might sound crazy, but recent developments in stem cell science have made this concept not so futuristic. In this course, we will explore the underlying biology behind the idea of using stem cells to treat disease, specifically analyzing the mechanisms that enable a single genome to encode multiple cell states ranging from neurons to fibroblasts to T cells. Overall, we hope to provide a comprehensive overview of this exciting new field of research and its clinical relevance. 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.
关 键 词: 干细胞; 干细胞治疗; 细胞重新编程; 转分化
