Provided is the discovery of the role of EphA4 signaling in neurodegenerative disorders involving β-amyloid induced neurotoxicity such as Alzheimer's Disease. New therapeutic methods, therapeutic agents, and kits for treating diseases caused or exacerbated by overactivated EphA4 signaling are provided. Also provided are methods for identifying additional compounds as therapeutic agents useful for treating conditions involving overly active EphA4 signaling.
提供了EphA4信号在涉及β-淀粉样蛋白诱导的神经毒性等神经退行性疾病中的作用发现,如阿尔茨海默病。提供了用于治疗由过度活化的EphA4信号引起或加重的疾病的新疗法、治疗剂和工具。还提供了用于识别额外化合物作为治疗剂,对治疗涉及过度活跃的EphA4信号的条件有用的方法。
