Okay, so chondrocytes are important for the articular cartilage, got it.

因此软细对关软非常重要。

So an osteoblast in your bone becomes an osteocyte — ditto for chondroblasts becoming chondrocytes.

所以你中成细就变成了一个细。——软母细成为软细也是如此。

These plates increase the length of your bones through proliferation of ossifying cells we call chondrocytes.

这些骺板通过化细增殖增加长度，我们称之为软细。

Whatever the initial cause of articular cartilage damage is, it gets the chondrocytes to start trying to repair the cartilage.

不管引起关软损伤起因素是什么，都会有软细尝试修复软。

Chondrosarcoma arises from the chondrocytes which are cartilage-producing cells.

软肉瘤起源于软细，即产生软细。

Maintaining healthy articular cartilage is the chondrocyte's job, a specialized cell responsible for maintaining everything cartilage-related.

保持关软健康是软细工作；软细是负责一切软相关事务特殊细。

Eventually though, over the course of years, chondrocytes aren't able to keep up, and they become exhausted, and can undergo apoptosis, or programmed cell death.

最终，随着时间推移，软细力不从心，凋亡或程序性细死亡。

In healthy people, chondrocytes maintain a delicate balance between breaking down old cartilage—called catabolic activity, and producing new cartilage—called anabolic activity, through the use of both degradative enzymes and synthetic enzymes.

在健康机体内，软细在分解老化软（分解作用）和产生新软（合成作用）之间通过分解酶和合成酶来保持精细平衡。

One gene in particular involved in regulating cilia was missing a small piece found in all other birds and mammals Cilia on cells called chondrocytes pass on important signals during development.

一个特别参与调纤毛基因缺失了一小段，在所有其他鸟类和哺乳动物中都发现了这一点。纤毛在称为软细细上，在发育过程中传递重要信号。

The concern here is that if you apply a heavy external force, like lifting weights, onto these epiphyseal 'growth' plates, you damage the chance for your chondrocytes cells to grow, cutting potential height growth.

这里问题是，如果你在这些骺生长板上施加一个沉重外力，比如举重，你就会破坏软细生长机会，阻断了可能生长高度。

MSCs differentiate into adipocytes, osteocytes, chondrocytes, tenocytes, marrow stromal cells, muscle, and perhaps neuronal cells and are being used in early clinical trials to enhance bone marrow grafting and to suppress graft-versus-host disease in allogeneic bone marrow transplants.

MSCs分化成脂肪细，细，软细，肌腱细，髓基质细，肌肉和神经细，并用于早期临床试验，以增强髓移植和抑制同种异体髓移植中移植物抗宿主病。
