Research into new treatments for Alzheimer's, for example, has started to overturn what we thought we knew about the role of amyloid-beta proteins in the disease.

比如说，关于老年痴呆新疗法的研究已经开始颠覆我们之前淀粉状贝塔蛋白质的角色的认识。

Studies with glucose are being supplemented by PET scans that can image beta-amyloid, one of the abnormal proteins in the brain in Alzheimer’s disease.

对葡萄糖的研究加上PET扫描就能够对β-淀粉样蛋白成像，这是老年痴呆症病人大脑中一种异常的蛋白质。

Other researchers had identified several related protein fragments, called beta-amyloid, inside the amyloid plaques, but they didn't know which proteins were the bad ones.

"There is a 50-60 percent decrease in the amount of amyloid plaques and indeed the amount of a-beta proteins in the brains of mice who have gotten chronic nasal treatment, " their report said.
