Summary:Methods for screening for compounds that inhibit neurodegeneration are presented. Shedding of APP can be a useful marker for neurodegeneration and compounds that inhibit shedding of APP are useful as inhibitors of neurodegeneration. Such compounds may be useful in treatment and/or prevention of various neurological diseases, disorders and neuronal damage and may enhance growth, regeneration or survival of mammalian neuronal cells or tissue.
