摘要

• I work to create materials that instruct our immune system to give us the signals to grow new tissues.
  我的工作是创造不同的材料来指导我们的免疫系统，向身体传达信号，生长出新的组织。

• So in this case, instead of the immune cells rushing off towards infection to fight bacteria, they're rushing toward an injury. I discovered a specific type of immune cell, the helper T cell, was present inside that material that I implanted and absolutely critical for wound healing.
  所以在这种情况下，免疫细胞并没有冲向感染处去对抗细菌，而是聚集在了伤口处。我发现了一种特殊类型的免疫细胞，辅助T细胞，存在于我植入的材料中，并且对伤口愈合至关重要。

• I'm working to create materials that give us the signals to build new tissue by changing the immune response.
  我正在努力创造一种材料，通过改变免疫反应来产生信号，让我们的身体去再生新的组织。

• In the future, we could see a scar-proof band-aid, a moldable muscle filler or even a wound-healing vaccine.
  在未来，我们可以看到一种防疤痕创可贴，一种可塑形的肌肉填充物，甚至一种帮助伤口愈合疫苗。

• But with these advances, and working with our immune system to help build tissue and heal wounds, we could begin seeing products on the market that work with our body's defense system to help us regenerate, and maybe one day be able to keep pace with a salamander.
  但随着这些进步，结合我们的免疫系统在构建组织和愈合伤口上的帮助，我们会开始看到市场上的一些产品，可以与我们身体的 防御系统协作，帮助我们再生，也许有一天，我们能够跟上蝾螈的步伐。
