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

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

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的免疫，它们通过清除代谢废物的方式保持脑的健康。

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中富含铁的胶—相比氟这牙釉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可能几乎和神经元一样多！

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

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

髓是施万产生的；施万是支持神经的神经胶。

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，新的胶在整个成年期都能可靠地产生，因此更换其中的一些不应构成长期问题。

In experiments on mice, they took a type of cell called a glia cell, and they transformed it into a neuron.

在对老鼠的实验中，他们采用了一称为神经胶的，并将其转化为神经元。

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

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的特定。
