Kaj če bi lahko pomagali svojemu telesu, da se celi hitreje in brez brazgotin, kot Wolverine v filmu Možje X? Članica TED-a, Kaitlyn Sadtler, se trudi uresničiti te sanje, ko razvija nove biomateriale, ki bi lahko spremenili, kako se naš imunski sistem odziva na poškodbe. V tem hitrem govoru pokaže različne načine, kako bi lahko ti produkti pomagali telesu pri regeneraciji.

in z uporabo vsega, kar vem

I was ablesposoben to identifyidentificirati keyključ playersigralci

our teamekipa noticedopazili that after treatingzdravljenje
an injuredranjenih musclemišice with these materialsmaterialov,
29
90351

je naš tim opazil, da je po uporabi
teh materialov v poškodovani mišici
01:46
there was a largevelik numberštevilka of immuneimunski cellscelice
30

bilo veliko število imunskih celic

in that materialmaterial
and the surroundingokolico musclemišice.
31

2557
v tistem materialu in sosednjih mišicah.
01:52
So in this caseprimera,

Torej so v tem primeru
01:53
insteadnamesto tega of the immuneimunski cellscelice rushingrushing off

33

01:57
they're rushingrushing towardproti an injurypoškodbe.

01:59
I discoveredodkriti a specificspecifično
typetip of immuneimunski cellcelica,
35
107922
2833
Odkrila sem specifični tip imunske celice,
02:02
the helperpomočnik T cellcelica,
36
110779
1294
T-celico pomagalko,
02:04
was presentprisotni insideznotraj
that materialmaterial that I implantedimplantiran
37
112097
2729
ki je bila prisotna znotraj materiala,
ki sem ga vsadila,
02:06
and absolutelyabsolutno criticalkritično for woundrana healingzdravljenje.
38
114850
2397
in ki je bila absolutno
nujna za celjenje rane.
02:10
Now, just like when you were a kidfant
and you'dTi bi breakodmor your pencilsvinčnik
39
118325
3442
Enako kot takrat, ko ste bili otrok
in ste zlomili svinčnik
02:13
and try and tapetrak it back togetherskupaj again,
40
121791
2538
ter ga poskusili zlepiti skupaj,
02:16
we can healzdravi,
41
124353
1154
lahkotudi zdravimo,
02:17
but it mightmorda not be
in the mostnajbolj functionaldelujoč way,
42
125531
2245
a morda ne na najbolj funkcionalni način
02:19
and we'llbomo get a scarbrazgotina.
43
127800
1373
in ostala nam bo brazgotina.
02:21
So if we don't have these helperpomočnik T cellscelice,
44
129515
2984
Če torej nimamo teh T-celic pomagalk,
02:24
insteadnamesto tega of healthyzdravo musclemišice,
45
132523
1587
namesto zdrave mišice
02:26
our musclemišice developsrazvija
fatmaščobe cellscelice insideznotraj of it,
46
134134
2611
naša mišica v sebi razvije maščobne celice
02:28
and if there's fatmaščobe in our musclemišice,
it isn't as strongmočno.
47
136769
2477
in če je v mišici maščoba,
ni tako močna.
02:32
Now, usinguporabo our immuneimunski systemsistem,
48
140033
2400
Z uporabo našega imunskega sistema
02:34
our bodytelo could growrastejo back
withoutbrez these scarsbrazgotine
49
142457
2497
se lahko naše telo spet
zaraste brez brazgotin
02:36
and look like what it was
before we were even injuredranjenih.
50
144978
2912
in izgleda enako kot pred poškodbo.
02:41
I'm workingdelo to createustvarite materialsmaterialov
51
149128
2560
Ustvarjam materiale,
02:43
that give us the signalssignale
to buildzgraditi newnovo tissuetkivo
52
151712
2279
ki nam dajejo signale,
da gradimo novo tkivo
02:46
by changingzamenjati the immuneimunski responseodziv.
53
154015
1840
s spreminjanjem imunskega odziva.
02:48
We know that any time
a materialmaterial is implantedimplantiran in our bodytelo,
54
156840
4215
Vemo, da kadar koli v telo
vgradimo kak material,
02:53
the immuneimunski systemsistem will respondodgovoriti to it.
55
161079
2055
se bo imunski sistem nanj odzval,
02:55
This rangesobsegi from pacemakerssrčni spodbujevalniki
to insulininsulin pumpsčrpalke
56
163158
4509
pa naj gre za srčni spodbujevalnik,
inzulinske črpalke ali
02:59
to the materialsmaterialov that engineersinženirji are usinguporabo
to try and buildzgraditi newnovo tissuetkivo.
57
167691
3666
materiale, s katerimi inženirji
poskušajo tvoriti novo tkivo.
03:03
So when I placemesto that materialmaterial,
or scaffoldOder, in the bodytelo,
58
171932
4065
Ko torej vgradim ta material
ali gradbeni oder v telo,
03:08
the immuneimunski systemsistem createsustvarja

03:30
If we have the wrongnarobe signalssignale,
66

Če imamo napačne signale,
03:32
say the NetflixPolna mreža signalssignale,
67
200923

recimo Netflixove signale,
03:34
we get fatmaščobe cellscelice insteadnamesto tega of musclemišice.
68
202622
2864
dobimo maščobne celice namesto mišice.
03:38
