METHODS FOR TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF TAUOPATHIES AND AMYLOID BETA AMYLOIDOSIS BY MODULATING CRF RECEPTOR SIGNALING

摘要

Methods for treating or preventing tauopathies and/or Aß amyloidosis by modulating CRF receptor signaling. Accumulation of hyperphosphorlyated tau protein in the CNS may be reduced by administration of CRF-Rl selective antagonists and/or CRF-R2 selective agonists. For example, in some aspects, methods for preventing the onset of Alzheimer's disease by administration of CRF-Rl selective antagonist are provided.
