glia

基本解释

But recent research has shown glia to be much more.
但最新的研究表明，神经胶质的作用要远远大得多。
The scientists then directed the cells to form neurons and glia, the cells that are most affected by the disease (photos, below).
之后，科学家们将它们培育受该疾病影响最大的两种细胞——神经元和神经胶质。
(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.
（细胞分化，即细胞逐渐具备不同的特性，以形成不同的器官）直到第四个月，神经胶质和神经元才开始形成。

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.
位于神经发育区中的细胞,变得越来越不像受精卵,而像脑细胞,神经细胞或神经胶质细胞等等,这些成熟的脑组织中细胞
