你身体中的细胞就像是电脑软件：它们被“编程”以在特定时间完成特定功能。如果我们能够更好地了解这个过程，就能够解锁重编程细胞的能力，计算生物学家萨拉-简·邓恩（Sara-Jane Dunn）如是说。在这场关于前沿科学的演讲中，她解释了她的团队是如何研究胚胎干细胞（ES 细胞）从而对赋予生命活力的生物编程产生新的认识，并且开发能够转变医疗、农业和能源的“生物软件”。

下一场软件革命：生物细胞的编程

The next great leap in technology is the ability to program living cells, promising to transform fields from medicine to agriculture. By uncovering the algorithms that guide stem cells to become any cell type, scientists have begun predicting and directing cellular behavior. Recent breakthroughs even let researchers turn adult cells back to a naïve state, opening the door to personalized therapies. These advances bring both extraordinary promise and pressing ethical questions as we approach an era where biology itself becomes programmable.
