They attack the amyloid as it clumps together.

它们聚集时会攻击淀粉样蛋白。

It, too, targets amyloid plaques in the brain.

它针对也是大脑中淀粉样斑。

They also saw an Alzheimer's-like increase in amyloid beta plaques.

他们还发现类淀粉β斑块老年痴呆症样性增加。

Patients were also switched to inactive substances if enough amyloid cleared out.

如果清除了足够多淀粉样蛋白，也会改用非活性物质。

That's where Alzheimer's patients have a buildup of toxic proteins called amyloid.

这个部分，阿尔茨海默病积累了种叫淀粉样蛋白有毒蛋白质。

The amyloid cascade hypothesis remains the most influential explanation for how Alzheimer's develops.

淀粉样蛋白级联假说仍然是阿尔茨海默病如何发展最具影响力解释。

Two of the newest look for fragments of these amyloid proteins in your blood.

其中两种最新检测方法是血液中寻找淀粉样蛋白碎片。

Higher deposition of amyloid goes hand-in-hand trade loss of function in Alzheimer's disease.

淀粉样蛋白高度沉积与阿尔茨海默病功能丧失密切相关。

The drugs target a protein buildup, called beta amyloid, in the brain of Alzheimer's patients.

这些药物针对是阿尔茨海默病大脑中种被称为β淀粉样蛋白蛋白质堆积。

Having amyloid positive does not mean that you are going to get Alzheimer's disease.

淀粉样蛋白呈阳性并不意味着有阿尔茨海默病。

So the drug both cleans up amyloid and may help with cognitive problems, at least for a little while.

这种药物既可以清除淀粉样蛋白，又可以帮助解决认知问题，至少段时间内是这样。

Saying amyloid is a hallmark, though, is different than saying it's a cause.

然而，说淀粉样蛋白是这种病个特征，与说它是个病因不同。

But regardless, this idea doesn't call amyloid beta into question.

但不管怎样，这种想法并未对类淀粉β提出质疑。

And there are two drugs, Aduhelm and Leqembi, that are designed to clear out these amyloid clumps.

有两种药物，Aduhelm和Leqembi，专门用来清除淀粉样蛋白团块。

Those are the two best at finding amyloid.

这两种测试是发现淀粉样蛋白最佳方法。

The new technique looks for protein called amyloid beta that associated with the condition. Our health correspondent James Galiga reports.

这项技术是要寻找个被称为淀粉状β肽蛋白质，该物质与阿尔兹海默病有关。以下是我台医疗记吉姆斯·加里盖报道。

New drugs such as Leqembi and Kisunla can slow the disease a little. The medicines remove amyloid from the brain.

像Leqembi和Kisunla这样新药可以稍微减缓疾病进展。这些药物可以清除大脑中淀粉样蛋白。

Think of amyloid plaques as a lit match.

将淀粉样斑块想象成根点燃火柴。

I want to be able to image amyloid plaque.

我希望能够对淀粉样斑块进行成像。

So what happens when amyloid plaques accumulate to this tipping point?

那么当淀粉样斑块积累到这个临界点时会发生什么呢？
