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

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

It is that really soft gelatinous texture that you get from boiling it.

煮熟后会有非常柔软的质感。

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

大脑由 10% 的神经元和 90% 的神经质细胞构成。

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

被诊质母细胞瘤的患者通常只能存活15个月。

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

我得了一种叫做质囊肿的脑瘤。

Did you know that almost 90% of your brain is made up of glue cells?

你是否知道，你的大脑几乎有90%是由质细胞构成的？

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

而晶状纳米线中，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质细胞形成。

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质细胞的免疫细胞，它们通过清除代谢废物的方式保持脑的健康。

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

神经质细胞包括星形质细胞，它们的胞体发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质—相比氟种牙釉质耐酸性上更胜一筹。

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质细胞可能几乎和神经元一样多！

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，叫作神经质细胞的支持细胞，会你睡觉时清除神经元产生的毒素。

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质细胞的影响。

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

髓鞘质是施万细胞产生的；施万细胞是支持神经的神经质细胞。

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，新的质细胞整个成年期都能可靠地产生，因此更换其中的一不应构成长期问题。

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

脑肿瘤通常以变异细胞的类型命名，比如，星形细胞瘤是由变异的星形质细胞形成。

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

对老鼠的实验中，他们采用了一种称为神经质细胞的细胞，并将其转化为神经元。

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

我们的小质细胞看门细胞变得过度活跃，释放引起炎症和细胞损伤的化学物质。

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

小质细胞的种反应可以体外拍摄。
