I had a sort of brain tumour called the colloid cyst.

我得了一种叫做胶质囊肿的脑瘤。

The brain has immune cells known as microglia that are supposed to maintain health by removing waste.

脑中含有被称为微小胶质的免疫，它们通过清除物的方式保持脑的健康。

Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma tumors usually survive just 15 months after diagnosis.

被诊断出胶质母瘤的患者通常只能存活15个月。

This reaction of the microglial cells could be filmed in-vitro.

小胶质的这种反应可以在体外拍摄。

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

它实际上源于大脑中称为星形胶质的特定。

Your brain is 10% neurons, and 90% glial cells.

大脑由 10% 的神经元和 90% 的神经胶质构成。

And in between those crystalline nanowires, Joester and his colleagues discovered a sort of amorphous glue.

而在这些晶状纳米线中，乔斯特尔和同事们发现了一种非固定形状的胶质。

This myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes, which are a group of cells that support neurons.

髓鞘由支持神经元的少突胶质形成。

This myelin is produced by Schwann cells which are a group of cells that support neurons.

髓鞘质是施万生的；施万是支持神经的神经胶质。

It was long, sharp, and black, with a glazed look near the point as though some gummy substance had dried upon it.

是一个长而尖的木馏油黑刺，尖端上有一层发亮的好象是一种干了的胶质的东西。

To name just one example, patterns of activity between neurons are likely influenced by a type of cell called glia.

仅举一个例子，神经元之间的活动模式很可能受到一种称为神经胶质的影响。

Gutties were better than the leather-wrapped, feather-stuffed balls they replaced, which often exploded in mid-air.

胶质球以更优异的性能一度替了用羽毛填充在皮囊里的（这类球飞到空中常常会爆炸）羽毛制高尔夫球。

But more than that the supportive cells called glial cells are now cleaning up the toxins that the neurons produce.

但是除此之外，叫作神经胶质的支持，会在你睡觉时清除神经元生的毒素。

A small glioma could hide from contrast.

小的神经胶质瘤可能无法显示。

These include astrocytes which have cellular processes coming off their cell body, giving them a star-shaped appearance.

神经胶质包括星形胶质，它们的体发出许多长而分支的突起，使其呈现星形外观。

But another reason, they say, is the iron-enriched glue in beaver enamel—which was even more acid-resistant than fluoride-treated enamel.

但他们称另一个原因则是海狸牙釉质中富含铁的胶质—相比氟这种牙釉质在耐酸性上更胜一筹。

In fact, there are probably almost as many glia in your brain and nervous system as there are neurons!

事实上，你的大脑和神经系统中的神经胶质可能几乎和神经元一样多！

Our microglia janitor cells become hyper-activated, releasing chemicals that cause inflammation and cellular damage.

我们的小胶质看门变得过度活跃，释放出引起炎症和损伤的化学物质。

In one example, gamergates have 40% more of a certain type of glial cell in the brain.

在一个例子中，玩家门的大脑中某种类型的神经胶质多出 40%。

But luckily, new glia are reliably produced throughout adulthood, so swapping a few of them shouldn't pose a long-term problem.

但幸运的是，新的胶质在整个成年期都能可靠地生，因此更换其中的一些不应构成长期问题。
