The midbody is an electron-dense structure that forms between two dividing daughter cells, and a midbody remnant is left after completion of cell separation. This structure has been regarded as a piece of cellular debris, but two recent papers suggest an unexpected function for the midbody remnant in promoting an undifferentiated cellular phenotype.
中体是在两个分裂的子细胞之间形成的电子致密结构，细胞分离完成后会留下一个中体残余物。这个结构一直被认为是细胞碎片的一部分，但最近的两篇论文表明中体残余物在促进未分化的细胞表型方面具有意想不到的功能。
