beta cell

基本解释

He used nanoparticles—spheres thousands of times smaller than a single cell—that were coated with beta cell antigens.
他使用的是包裹有β细胞抗原的纳米颗粒——约占单一细胞数千分之一的小球。
Symptoms of type 1 diabetes usually develop over a short period, although beta cell destruction can begin years earlier.
1型糖粘并的症状通常在一段短时间后出现，虽然β细胞的毁灭可能在几年前就开始了。
Even though the process of beta cell destruction may take three to five years on the average, the onset of the disease usually appears to be sudden and is often catastrophic.
虽说β细胞的破坏过程平均可能要3到5年，这种病发病通常很突然，而且往往是致命性的。

He found that once TGF-beta activated a cell, it triggered the CTGF gene to make its protein (see chart).
FORBES: Scar Wars
The physical manifestations of the disease that Alois Alzheimer noticed in 1906 are sticky plaques of one type of protein, now known as beta-amyloid, and nerve-cell-engulfing tangles of a second type, called tau protein.
ECONOMIST: Alzheimer's disease
The idea that more brain cell activity could lead to more amyloid-beta build up is an exciting, if sobering, finding.
