1·Even though the Schwann cells are the ones affected when PrP is missing, the protein must be present in axons to prevent disease, the researchers report online this week in Nature Neuroscience.
虽然当PrP缺失时，施沃恩细胞会受到疾病侵袭，蛋白质还是应该存在于轴突以防止疾病发生。这项研究成果发表在本周的《自然——神经系统科学》。
2·Axons are the long slender projections that transmit nerve-cell impulses to the rest of the body, controlling movement.
轴突是一个细长的传导物质，将神经细胞的脉动传送至身体各部分，从而控制身体的动作。
3·In most people, a second injury is likely to damage surviving axons and cause a more severe injury.
对大多数人来说，二次损伤很可能会破坏幸存的轴突，导致更严重的损伤。
4·They could later become dendrites or axons.
之后它们能变成树突或者轴突。
5·Within 12 hours after injury, the injured axons were not yet devided, and its reversibility might still remain. This might be the most ideal time for effective treatment.
在伤后12小时以内，损伤轴突尚未断裂，可能仍存在可逆性，这可能是临床上有效治疗的最佳时机。
