Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to novel methods for the detection of substances capable of modulating or inhibiting pathological tau-tau protein association and pathological neurofilament aggregation. The methods of the present invention are particularly useful in screening substances for the prophylaxis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease, motor neuron disease, Lewy body disease, Pick's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy. In addition, substances capable of selectively inhibiting pathological aggregates while preserving normal cytoskeletal function are described.
