The other reason why cells stay together is that they're surrounded by a matrix that's called extracellular matrix.

另一个使细胞凝聚在一起的原因是,它们被,叫做细胞外基质的一种基质所包围

We talked last time about extracellular matrix and this complex protein-carbohydrate gel that surrounds all cells.

我们上次谈到过的细胞外基质,是一种蛋白和碳水化合物的复合物胶冻,它环绕在细胞周围

Well, what if this division takes place in an environment where there's one kind of extra cellular matrix here and another kind of extracellular matrix here?

那如果在细胞分裂的过程中,两个子细胞的细胞外基质不同,会对它们产生什么影响

What extracellular matrix you have in any particular tissue is there because there's a balance between it being produced by one kind of cell and digested by another, and you're in this sort of state of dynamic equilibrium.

特定组织中,细胞外基质的多少,取决于一个,分泌与降解的平衡,这是一种动态的平衡关系

Well, it's true that it's not stuck to plastic but it is stuck to other materials The other materials that it's stuck to include other cells that surround it and this complex matrix which surrounds all of the cells in our body called extracellular matrix and I'll get to that in just a few moments.

体内的细胞不会贴在塑料片上,但是它们会和别的材料黏联在一起,这些材料包括,细胞和周围细胞间的黏联,细胞同细胞外基质的黏联,我们身体中包围在细胞周围的物质,称为细胞外基质,后面我会详细讲到
