7、 in personB第1頁(yè)，共 21頁(yè)Cells divide many times throughout their lives But they cannot do it forever Once they have reached the limits of their reproductive powers ， they enter a state calledsenescence（衰老） in which they carry on performing their duties but stop making new copies ofthemselves For years i

8、t was assumed that， apart from their refusal to divide ， senescent cells were otherwise similar in every detail to their replicating compatriots （同胞）There is mounting evidence ， though， that this is untrue One study in 2016 reported that senescent cells in the kidneys and heart produce a protein tha

10、mals to develop neurodegenerative（神經(jīng)變性的） diseases- and that clearing out these cells can help prevent themWorking with a team of colleagues ， Dr Baker obtained a population of mice that had beengenetically engineered to quickly develop fibrous tangles（纖維團(tuán)） of protein in theirbrains These tangles are

11、 associated with the decline in mental abilities caused by diseases likeAlzheimers（早老性癡呆?。￤hen the mice were four months old ， Dr Baker collected braintissue from some ， and found senescent cells accumulating in the hippocampus ， aseahorse-shaped region of the brain involved with learning and memory

12、 By merely sixmonths old ， they were accumulating in the cerebral cortex （大腦皮層）as well-as werethe tangles that are associated with neurological （神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的）declineTo see what role ， if any ， senescent cells were playing in their decreasing brainpower ， Dr Baker genetically changed some mice such that the

13、ir senescent cells could be removed with a twice-weekly dose of a specific chemical That left a subgroup of mice that were still likely to have neurological diseases ， but which also had their brains rid of senescent cells By the time these mice reached six months old ， the tangles were almost entir

15、ins to be seen whether clearing exhausted cells from human brains could have similar benefits Since it is not possible to do genetic engineering on humans beforehand， drugs that can clear out senescent cells will have to be developed instead But Dr Bakers results suggest that is worth trying Indeed，

16、 the next project in his lab is to explore whether clearing senescent cells from the brains of mice that are already suffering from the murine （鼠類(lèi)的） version of Alzheimers might allow their already damaged brains to recover3. Based on Para 3， what did Dr Baker observe from his genetically engineered

17、mice ？_A. Fibrous tangles in brains contribute to the disease of Alzheimers B. Hippocampus is a region responsible for learning and memory C. Senescent cells spread fast in the brain along with some tanglesD. Senescent cells in brains have caused the rats brainpower to decline4. Which is true of the

27、the same message online FMRIS（功能性磁共振成像） showed that，on touching the paper ； the emotional center of the brain was activated ， thus forming a stronger bond The study also indicated that once touch becomes part of the process， it could translate into a sense of possession In other words ， we feel more
