Further down the line here, if we looked in the adult brain or spinal cord and other regions we'd find committed progenitor cells.

沿着这条线再往后,如果我们看看成人的大脑,或者脊髓或者其他部位,我们就能找到定向祖细胞

The other property is that these committed progenitor cells that are formed can turn into something, can turn into more mature cell types.

另一个的性质就是成为定向祖细胞,进而形成某种特定细胞,成为更成熟的细胞形式

That difference has functional consequences for the daughter cells in that one of the daughter cells becomes what's called here a committed progenitor cell.

而这些差异会导致子细胞,产生一些功能上的变化,其中一个子细胞会成为,所谓的定向祖细胞

These are cells that are committed to become nervous tissue.

这些细胞都已经定向,将成为神经组织

In terms of function they're very important because this stem cell which is produced goes back into the population of stem cells and is able to repeat this process to form new committed progenitor cells and to form new stem cells.

但就功能而言这些干细胞则至关重要,因为这类分裂产生的子细胞,依然是干细胞,可以再次重复上述步骤,生成新的定向祖细胞,和新的干细胞
