In the new study on mice, researchers found that inhaling nanotubes affected the function of t cells, a type of white blood cell that organises the immune system to fight infections.

在对小鼠的这项新研究中，研究人员发现，吸入碳纳米管影响了T细胞的功能，T细胞是一种组织免疫系统抵抗感染的白血细胞。

Studies performed in the HCV infected animal model of virus infection showed initially that by blocking this pathway it is possible to reconstitute the T cell function.

在HCV感染的动物模型中所进行的研究显示，阻断这条途径就有可能重建T细胞功能。

They then ran that list through a database of genetic information to see which of the genes changed by trauma were listed in the literature as having a role in t cell function.

然后通过基因信息数据库跑出那一系列基因，查出损伤中发生改变的基因哪些是文献中列出了对T细胞功能起作用的基因。

However, tinkering with T-cell function is only a small part of what is being done to overcome the body's often-cursed refusal to be medicated.
