The speaker's research aims to create materials that can signal the body to regenerate new tissue by modifying the immune response. Certain organisms like salamanders and zebrafish can regenerate limbs or organs through immune cell signaling. The speaker hopes to apply this to develop materials that can be implanted in the human body to stimulate tissue regeneration, which could help treat conditions like heart disease or spinal cord injuries.

LISTENING 7

Listen to the audio and answer the following questions:

1. What is the aim of the speaker’s research?

2. What organisms are mentioned as examples of regeneration?

3. How are T cells relevant in tissue regeneration?

4. Complete the gaps with ONE suitable word

I'm working to create materials that give us the signals to build new tissue by changing the
immune __________. We know that any time a material is __________ in our body, the
immune system will respond to it. This ranges from __________ to insulin __________ to
the materials that engineers are using to try and build new tissue. So when I place that
material, or __________, in the body, the immune system creates a small environment of
cells and proteins that can change the way that our stem cells behave.

5. What types of materials does the speaker mention?

6. What applications will this research have in the future?
