Here is Rebecca Skloot, explaining Henrietta's importance to BBC World Service programme, The Forum: So much of science is based on growing cells in culture which started with her cells.

瑞贝卡·斯克鲁向BBC全球服务节目广播节目The Forum解释了亨丽埃塔的重要性：很多科学都建立在由她的细胞增殖而产生的培养细胞上。

Perhaps to create new lives, to proliferate their species?

也许是为了创造新的生活，增殖的物种？

The way that we are able to develop from single cells to double and multiplying.

我们单细胞发展到双细胞并不断增殖的方式。

But the impact alters the ulnar nerve's signaling, perhaps by causing a proliferation of nerve signals, leading to that intense pins-and-needles sensation called transient paresthesia, which radiates down the length of your arm.

但撞击改变了尺神经的信号，可是通过引起神经信号的增殖，导致一种强烈的针刺感，这种感觉被称为短暂的感觉异常，辐射到整个手臂。

Another drug, azathioprine, has a similar immunosuppressing action and inhibits an enzyme that we need to synthesise DNA, and so it strongly inhibits cells, like T-cells and B-cells, that proliferate a lot during an immune response.

还有一种药，硫唑嘌呤，也有相似的免疫抑制作用，同时抑制合成DNA所需的一种酶，因此硫唑嘌呤强效抑制在免疫反应中大量增殖的T、B细胞。

But perhaps the scariest fact is that even after one night of 4-5 hrs of sleep, your natural killer cells, which stop cancer cells from proliferating in your body drop by 70%.

但也许最可怕的事实是，即使只睡4-5个小时，你体内阻止癌细胞增殖的自细胞也会减少70%。

Cortisol also helps to dampen the inflammatory and immune response by reducing the production and release of inflammatory mediators, like prostaglandins and interleukins, as well as inhibiting the proliferation of T-lymphocytes.

皮质醇也有助于抑制炎症和免疫反应，会降低如前列腺素和白细胞介素等炎症介质的制造和释放，也会抑制T淋巴细胞的增殖。

Hair colour is controlled by whether continually multiplying pools of McSCs within hair follicles get the signal to become mature cells that make the protein pigments responsible for colour.

头发颜色的控制取决于毛囊内不断增殖的McSC细胞是否收到信号，变成成熟细胞，而产生不同颜色的蛋白质色素。

So we have to be sure that what we are growing is just the organism but we want to grow.

所以我们必须保证正在增殖的微生物就是我们想要的。

Now, regardless of type, Kaposi's sarcoma is an endothelial cell neoplasm, so it causes vascular proliferation, resulting in dark or violaceous plaques.

无论何种类型的卡波西肉瘤，都是一种内皮细胞瘤，因此它会引起血管的增殖，导致黑色或紫色斑块。

So when mTOR is switched off by the hamartin-tuberin protein complex, it slows growth and division of cells throughout the body.

所以，当mTOR被hamartin-tuberin蛋白复合物抑制时，体内细胞增殖和分裂的速度会减慢。

The lab, isolated bacterial cells and documented them as they multiplied, growing into colonies that we can see.

实验室分离了细菌细胞，并记录了它们的增殖过程，形成我们可以看到的菌落。

These proliferating centroblasts form a germinal center, located in the center of the follicle of the lymph node.

这些不断增殖的中心母细胞形成生发中心，位于淋巴结滤泡的中心。

In fact, at an optimum temperature, Clostridium perfringens has one of the fastest growing rates of any bacterium!

事实上，在最适温度下，产气荚膜梭菌是增殖速度最快的细菌之一。

Although she never consented to her tissues being used for medical research, doctors at the time found her cells to have an extraordinary ability to replace themselves endlessly.

虽她未同意将自己的身体组织用于医学研究，但当时的医生发现她的细胞具有无限增殖的非凡力。

These plates increase the length of your bones through proliferation of ossifying cells we call chondrocytes.

这些骨骺板通过骨化细胞的增殖增加骨骼的长度，我们称之为软骨细胞。

Scientists are currently investigating if people with dandruff do, in fact, lose more water through their scalps, and whether this is what's leading their skin cells to proliferate.

目前，科学家正在研究有头皮屑的人群是否会因为头皮屑而丢失更多水分，或是否因此促进皮肤细胞的增殖。

They form when there is a mutation in the Adenomatous Polyposis Coli gene or APC gene, which is a tumor suppressor gene that regulates cell growth.

当结肠腺瘤样息肉病（APC）基因突变时，结肠腺瘤往往会形成；APC基因是一种调控细胞增殖的抑癌基因。

Because they go  through so many generations so quickly, eventually by pure chance, there will be an individual  that mutates and adapts in just the right way to resist your defenses and then multiply quickly  again.

因为它们繁殖世代如此之快，最终纯粹靠运气，会出现一个变异并恰好适应以抵抗你的防御并再次迅速增殖的个体。

She highly recommends people get enough folic acid for the role that folic acid plays in DNA synthesis and repair of skin cells as among other cells and cell proliferation.

她强烈建议人们摄取足的叶酸，因为叶酸在DNA合成、皮肤细胞修复以及其他细胞的增殖过程中扮演着重要角色。
