Light from star-shaped chinks in the domed ceilings filters through the vapour.

半球形天花板的星形缝隙中透出的光线穿透水汽。

A tiny asterisk conducted me to a footnote at the bottom of the page.

一个小小的星形符号把我的目光引到了那页底部一个说明。

It actually stems from these specific cells in your brain called astrocytes.

它实际大脑中称为星形胶质细的特定细。

They were inspired by a star-shaped sweet cookie treat we offer during the holiday season.

他们的灵感来自我们在节期间提供的星形甜饼干。

They are typically named by the cell type involved, so for example an astrocytoma is a tumor formed by mutated astrocytes.

脑肿通常以变异细的类型命名，比如，星形细由变异的星形胶质细形成。

Well fibrosis is a process mediated by special cells called stellate cells, that sit between the sinusoid and hepatocyte, known as the perisinusoidal space.

纤维化的过程由星形细调控的；星形细位血窦和肝细之间，即窦周间隙。

And usually in healthy tissue, these guys' main function is to store vitamin A and are otherwise considered quiescent, or sort of dormant.

在健康肝脏中，这些星形细的主要功能储存维生素A，除此之外，星形细在其他时候被认为不活跃的，处接近休眠的状态。

On its trunk, two types of mosses had begun to grow: common striated feather moss and Atrichum undulatum, a moss species with star-shaped leaves.

在它的树干，已经有两种苔藓开始生长：卵叶美喙藓和波叶仙鹤藓，后者一种星形叶子的苔藓。

It was something called an anaplastic astrocytoma and while the surgery had been successful and the tumor was gone, the microscopic cancerous cells it left behind remained, impossible to remove.

这一种叫做间变性星形细的东西，虽然手术很成功，肿消失了，但它留下的微小癌细仍然存在，无法去除。

When activated, the stellate cells lose vitamin A, proliferate, and start secreting secreting transforming growth factor beta1, or TGF-beta, which then causes them to produce collagen, which is the main ingredient in extracellular matrix, fibrosis, and scar tissue.

激活后的星形细失去维生素A，并且开始大量增生，分泌转化生长因子ß，即TGF-ß，随之导致其生成胶原；胶原细外基质、纤维化和疤痕组织的重要成分。
