But Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), to give its proper name, is still a nasty illness that humanity would be better off without.

种严重损害类性情的疾病的准确名称叫克雅氏病（CJD），治疗起来仍然棘手。

CJD and a handful of similar neurological conditions are caused by the misfolding of a particular protein that is found in the membranes of certain nerve cells.

该病以及类似的一些神经症状是由于某种神经细胞的细胞膜上的一个特殊蛋白发生错误折叠所致。

This was not known at the time CJD causing prions.

时并不知道是由克雅氏病引起的朊病毒。

Experts don't yet know what causes CJD, nor do they really know how to look for it.

专家们还不知道导致 CJD 的原因，也不知道如何寻找它。

They examined contained besides signs of CJD deposits of amyloid, beta or A B a protein which forms the plaques that are the principal hallmark of Alzheimer's disease In four of the six the deposits were widespread Oddly.

他们检查发现除了克雅氏病的沉积物外，还有β淀粉样蛋白的沉积， 种蛋白是阿尔茨海默病主要标志斑块的组成部分。 六个案例中， 有四个的沉积物分布广泛， 很奇怪。

In addition to CJD Last December, a second piece of evidence emerged another team led by Dr. Collins obtained samples of cadaver derived human growth hormone that had been stored since the 1980s As they had suspected.

除了去年发现的克雅氏病之外，另一项证据也浮出水面。 由科林斯博士领导的研究团队获得了自上世纪80年代起储存的类生长激素样本， 结果正如他们所料。

All involved the same type of protein as CJD If CAA, which involves amyloid beta rather than the CJD protein.

所有涉及的蛋白质都与克雅氏病相同。如果脑淀粉样血管病涉及的是β淀粉样蛋白而非克雅氏病的蛋白质。
