If we understood them well enough we could potentially make any particular kind of cell in the body from those pluripotent cells.

如果我们能研究得足够透彻,我们就有可能利用这些多能干细胞,制造我们体内任何特定的细胞

This pluripotent stem cell from bone marrow is an example of a stem cell, an adult stem cell, a stem cell that could be identified from the blood.

这种骨髓中的多能干细胞,是干细胞的一个代表,一个成人的干细胞,可以在血液中检测到的

As we've found cells from adult organisms that seem to be multipotential and studied them more carefully, some of their potentials turn out to be lost, they're not exactly the same.

因为我们在成人机体中找到,这些看上去是多能干细胞的细胞后,仔细研究后发现它们的一些潜能已经丢失,和胚胎中的那些并不一样

Now, in the process of doing that they found some very rare stem cells that are called pluripotent, pluri just means many potencies.

如今在这种研究进行的过程中,他们发现了一些非常稀少的干细胞,称为多能干细胞,pluri这个前缀就是指很多能力
