臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是:
As they divide, these cells may accumulate additional mutations. These mutations may cause the cell to become less specialized and stop performing its original function in the tissue. If this occurs, then there's a greater chance they'll develop into cancer cells.
這些細胞在分裂時,有可能會累積生成額外的突變。而這些突變可能破壞細胞的功能性,使其無法發揮原先在組織中應有的功能。這種情況如果發生,這些細胞便極有可能演變成癌細胞。
