課程介紹:
在本系列課程中,圣母院大學(xué)提出了“你會(huì)為什么而奮斗”這一話題,主要圍繞學(xué)生們和教職人員的研究、學(xué)術(shù)成就和社會(huì)行動(dòng)力展開。本片采取紀(jì)錄片形式,采訪了很多不同的人。
學(xué)院介紹:
圣母大學(xué)(University of Notre Dame)創(chuàng)建于1842年,位于美國(guó)印第安那州的南灣市,是一所文理兼顧的著名私立大學(xué)。大學(xué)校風(fēng)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、純正,學(xué)生非常熱衷于各項(xiàng)志愿的社會(huì)工作,也有大量學(xué)生加入社會(huì)事務(wù)中心,幫助照顧老人及傷殘人員。

My grandfather loves to fish.There's nothing he enjoys more than being out on the water.He always tells me how the big one's still out there.But now he's losing the ability to do what he loves.My grandfather is going blind.
The goal of our research is to be able to restore sight to those individuals who have lost their vision.
Notre Dame professor Davide Hyde conducts ground-breaking research using adult stem cells from zebra fish.His work,in collaboration with other Notre Dame scientists working with adult stem cells aims to discover therapies and cures for diseases and conditions such as Alzheimer's,Pakinson's and blindness.
We focus our work on Zebra fish because these
stem cells which reside throughout the zebra fish have the natural capacity to regenerate specific tissues and organs unlike humans and other mammals.
我爺爺喜歡釣魚。他最愛(ài)這種在水上的活動(dòng)。他總說(shuō)有大魚要上鉤了。但現(xiàn)在他逐漸喪失了這種能力。他失明了。
這項(xiàng)科研的目的是幫助失明的人恢復(fù)視力。
諾特丹大學(xué)教授大衛(wèi)用斑馬魚的成熟細(xì)胞做了開拓性試驗(yàn)。它與其他諾特丹大學(xué)研究員希望能發(fā)現(xiàn)治療老年癡呆、帕金森和失明的方法。
我們把重點(diǎn)放在斑馬魚因?yàn)榘唏R魚體內(nèi)的細(xì)胞有再生特定組織的天然能力以及人類和其他哺乳動(dòng)物所沒(méi)有的器官。
