Scientists found that the cocktail of chemicals in cigarettes is particularly harmful to developing liver cells.
科学家们发现,香烟中化学物质的混合物对正在发育的肝细胞伤害特别大。
They developed a method of studying the effects of maternal smoking on liver tissue using embryonic stem cells.
他们开发了一种方法,用胚胎干细胞来研究母体吸烟对胎儿肝脏组织的影响。
The team, led by the University of Edinburgh, also discovered the cigarette chemicals affect male and female foetuses differently.
由爱丁堡大学为首的这个研究团队,还发现了香烟中的有害化学物质对男性胎儿和女性胎儿的影响有所不同。
During their research they used pluripotent stem cells - cells which have the ability to transform into other cell types - to build foetal liver tissue.
在他们的研究中,所使用的是多能干细胞--这种细胞能够转化成其他类型的细胞,以此来创建胎儿肝组织。
Liver cells were exposed to the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes, including specific substances known to circulate in foetuses when mothers smoke.
将胎儿肝细胞与香烟中发现的有害化学物质相接触,包括已知孕母吸烟时出现在胎儿循环中的具体物质。
