glia

基本解释

But recent research has shown glia to be much more.
但最新的研究表明，神經膠質的作用要遠遠大得多。
The scientists then directed the cells to form neurons and glia, the cells that are most affected by the disease (photos, below).
之後，科學家們將它們培育受該疾病影響最大的兩種細胞——神經元和神經膠質。
(When cells differentiate they specialize into various tissues needed to create body parts.) It isn't until the second trimester that glia and neurons begin to form.
（細胞分化，即細胞逐漸具備不同的特性，以形成不同的器官）直到第四個月，神經膠質和神經元才開始形成。

Cells that are within the region that becomes the nervous system become less like the zygote and more like the cells of our brain, neurons and glia, and cells of the mature brain.
位於神經發育區中的細胞,變得越來越不像受精卵,而像腦細胞,神經細胞或神經膠質細胞等等,這些成熟的腦組織中細胞
