中國科學革命
疾病是人類有史以來最大的敵人,疾病所造成的傷亡人數多於歷史上任何戰爭。時至今日,人類仍然需要不斷抵抗疾病。我們會分享三位致力對抗疾病的中國科學家的故事,他們的研究包括精準基因編輯、創造新的動物模型開發新藥治療阿兹海默症及柏金遜症、找出空氣污染與腎病的關係,以及以再生量身訂造的器官爲目標的幹細胞研究。他們的努力有機會改善全球人口的生活。
Our war on disease, is one that’s been fought throughout human history. It’s killed and maimed more people than any other conflict, and continues to challenge us. This is the story of three Chinese scientists who are working on the frontline of our battle with disease. From precision gene editing to create new animal models for testing novel drugs designed to defeat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, to the scientists working to combat kidney disease by tackling air pollution, and cutting edge STEM cell research that promises to grow brand new, tailor-made organs to replace those damaged by disease; these ambitious goals have the potential to improve lives across the globe.
