Apparently, Triangle Bob asked animator to redo his appearance and make him look cooler!

三角形鮑勃請動畫師重做了他的外表，讓他看起來更酷！

Let's reveal the new Triangle Bob!

一起揭曉三角形鮑勃的新造型！

Oh! You asked to be more triangular, but isn't moving gonna be difficult...?

哦！你更三角了！但這樣不會很難移動嗎？

This catastrophic disaster has me thinking you humans change on the outside all the time,

這場災難讓我想到，你們人類的外表總是在變，

but could you grow a new you on the inside?

但你們能在身體裡長出一個新的自己嗎？

I'll just I'll just cue the intro myself!

我自己進開場吧！

Hey there! Welcome to Life Noggin!

大家好！歡迎來到《生活金頭腦》!

As you age, you humans lose cells.

隨著年齡增長，身體會失去細胞。

This leads to health problems like, weakened muscles, cognitive decline as you lose brain neurons, and weakened immunity.

這會造成健康問題，如肌肉衰弱、流失大腦神經元而認知能力下降，還有抵抗力下降。

But what if you could grow more cells to replenish these important organs?

但如果說我們能培育新細胞來補充這些重要器官所需呢？

Or grow brand-new organs entirely?

或者培養一個完整的新器官？

What if you could grow a new you?

甚至培養出一個新身體？

Well, I found out that Scientists are working on ways to do just that:

科學家們正在研究如何做到這一點：

replace cells and organs that have deteriorated through the aging process with new ones created from… you!

用以你身體為範本創造的新細胞和器官替換因衰老而退化的細胞和器官！

Now, that is self-care! We're talking literal Inner healing!

這才叫自我照護！真正意義上的內在治癒！

Cells frequently die as a result of damage.

細胞經常因損傷而死亡。

Additionally, your body occasionally kills off damaged cells in order to protect itself from harm.

加上，人體偶爾會消滅受損細胞，以達到自我保護的效果。

Normally, some of the damaged cells are quickly replaced by new ones.

通常情況下，受損的細胞很快會被新細胞取代。

But as you age, this replacement process becomes less effective and the number of cells in your body starts to decline.

但隨著年齡增長，替換速度會變慢，體內的細胞量也會逐步減少。

Additionally, many of the cell types that are most important to your long-term #thriving have no system in place to replace themselves at all.

此外，許多對長期健康發展很重要的細胞根本沒有新細胞可換。

This is a big problem for your organs and it's one reason why you start to feel weaker,

對器官來說，這是個大問題，也是你隨著老化開始感到虛弱，

have trouble remembering things, and get sick more easily with age.

記不住東西，且容易生病的原因之一。

Currently, a few failing organs, like the liver and kidneys, can be replaced through transplantation.

目前，少數會衰竭的器官，如肝臟和腎臟，可通過移植來替代。

But when you implant any foreign substance into the body, like cells or organs from a donor,

但將任何外來物，如捐贈者的細胞或器官，植入體內，

you run the risk of it being rejected by the immune system.

都有免疫系統排斥的風險。

Don't worry buddy I thought you did great out there!

別難過，夥計，我覺得你做得很好。

A way around this rejection is by growing cells or organs out of your own cells.

有個方法可以避免這種排斥，那就是用自身細胞培養新細胞或器官。

To do this, you first need stem cells.

想做到這點，首先你需要幹細胞。

These are like the body's building materials.

幹細胞就像人體的建築材料。

The most powerful kind of stem cells are called pluripotent stem cells.

最強大的一種幹細胞被稱為「多能幹細胞」。

They can become any type of cell, muscle, brain, blood, bone... anything.

它們可以構成任何類型的細胞，不管是肌肉、大腦、血液，還是骨骼。

Embryos are full of pluripotent stem cells since they are still developing.

胚胎充滿了多能幹細胞，因為他們仍在發育。

While adults only have a small number of stem cells, they are very restricted in the kinds of cells they can replace.

雖然成年人也有少量幹細胞，但它們可替代的細胞種類非常有限。

However, in recent years, scientists have discovered ways to make them from a patient's own cells.

但近年來，科學家們發現了用病人自己的細胞製造新細胞的方法。

This is done by taking some of your cells and reprogramming them.

也就是取出細胞並對其進行重新編程。

In this process, you first transform a mature cell into a stem-cell-like state, and then turn it into whatever cell you need.

在此過程中，首先得將一個成熟的細胞轉化為類似幹細胞的狀態，然後把它轉化成任何你需要的細胞。

Stem cells could be used to grow your own organs outside of the body, and then you can transplant them later!

幹細胞也可用於體外培育器官，以供你需要時移植！

While a lot of work needs to be done before this becomes a reality,

雖然在這一切實現前，還很多事需要準備，

scientists are already growing organs in the lab.

但科學家們已開始在實驗室中培育器官了。

And one of the ways this can be done is by using the stripped-down chassis of a donor organ as a scaffold that your stem cells can build from.

而其中一種方法是使用捐贈者器官剝離出的底盤作為骨架，在其之上建立幹細胞。

You know what? Can I get a kidney?

我要來份腎臟。

Make that a double kidney!

來個雙腎吧！

You guys want anything? Should I get a kid's meal for Greeg?

你們要加點什麼嗎？我該幫 Greeg 點兒童餐嗎？

Is he a child? I'm not sure.

他算小孩嗎？我不確定。

Animator, can you please turn T-Bob back to normal?

動畫師，你能不能把三角形鮑勃變回去？

He's damaging more things faster than you can replace them!

他破壞西的速度遠比我們換新的速度快！

Ah, that's better.

好多了。

Triangle Bob, you are beautiful just the way you are!

三角行鮑勃，你原本的樣子就很美了！

So, would you want to grow a new you?

你會想培養一個新的身體嗎？

If you could create an exact copy of yourself, would you do it?

如果能創造一個完全相同的自己，你會這麼做嗎？

I guess you'd have someone to help you with chores, so that's a plus!

多個人幫忙家務也不錯啦，這是個加分項！

By the way, this super cool cell replenishing research is actually being explored by our sponsor SENS Research Foundation.

順帶一提，這項超酷的細胞替換研究其實是我們的讚助商 SENS 研究基金會的研究。

And maybe one day when you're old, instead of living with worn-out tissues and organs

也許有一天，年老的時候，我們可以不用繼續用衰老的組織和器官生活，

you'll be made up of brand-new top of the line body parts, completely homegrown!

而是可以擁有全新的身體，完全自產！
