The endocannabinoid system may be the target of novel therapies in a wide variety of diseases. Among them, those related with amyloid accumulation will be discussed in the present review. Several components of this system (CB1 and CB2 receptors, endocannabinoids, FAAH enzyme) may participate in different aspects of amyloid pathophysiology such as, for instance, synaptic activity, cell migration, cytokine production or phagocytic activity. Consistent with recent data, putative lines of research and hypothesis will be discussed. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
