全球患有衰弱性、无法治愈的肠道疾病的年轻人数量正在增加，但研究人员现在希望一台独一无二的显微镜能帮助他们理解这类疾病并找到新的治疗方法。
According to the British Society of Gastroenterology(英国胃肠病学会), more than half a million people in the UK are living with inflammatory bowel disease(炎症性肠病) (IBD), with Crohn’s disease(克罗恩病) and ulcerative colitis(溃疡性结肠炎) the two main forms.
据英国胃肠病学会称，英国有超过50万人患有炎症性肠病（IBD），其中克罗恩病和溃疡性结肠炎是两种主要类型。
While such conditions can develop at any age, experts say they are most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, blighting lives at a crucial time for education, work and relationships.(虽然这类疾病可发生于任何年龄，但专家表示，它们最常在15岁至40岁之间被诊断出来，在求学、工作和恋爱关系的关键时期毁掉患者的生活。)
