新疗法斯德哥尔摩——阿尔茨海默病的研究人员上个月聚集在这里，他们对这种夺取精神的疾病的可能治疗方法（或许还有预防措施）怀有紧迫感和乐观态度。 4000 名与会者听取了多个方面的进展，包括可能的疫苗和治疗方法，旨在阻止 b 淀粉样蛋白（一种被认为会引发大脑神经元损失的小肽）的形成，或溶解作为该疾病标志的异常 b 淀粉样蛋白沉积物。这一特别焦点还探讨了关于在预防试验中测试哪些药物的争论。
NEW THERAPIESSTOCKHOLM-- Alzheimer's researchers gathered here last month with a sense of urgency and optimism about possible treatments--and perhaps preventions--for the mind-robbing disease. The 4000 attendees heard about progress on several fronts, including possible vaccines and treatments aimed at either blocking formation of b amyloid, a small peptide thought to trigger the loss of brain neurons, or at dissolving the abnormal b-amyloid deposits that are a hallmark of the disease. This special focus also explores a debate over which drugs to test in a prevention trial.
