细胞受到治疗后,会表现得仿佛更加年轻,分裂速度更快而非老化。
'One day it may be possible to target muscle stem cells in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, for example, to extend their telomeres,' said Dr Blau.
布劳博士表示:“有朝一日,将可能针对杜氏肌肉营养不良症患者的肌肉干细胞,比如通过延长其端粒体进行治疗。”
'There are also implications for treating conditions of aging, such as diabetes and heart disease.
“这种疗法对治疗糖尿病和心脏病等因衰老引发的疾病,也会产生影响。”
'This has really opened the doors to consider all types of potential uses of this therapy.'
“这真的为我们开启了一扇新的大门,让我们思考如何发挥这种疗法的各种潜在用途。”
The researchers also hope that the method will be able to allow scientists to generate large numbers of cells that could someday lead to an effective anti-aging drug.
研究人员也希望,这种方法能让科学家培育出大量细胞,有朝一日可用它们研发出有效的抗衰老药物。
