The innate immune system stimulating cytokine GM-CSF improves learning/memory and interneuron and astrocyte brain pathology in Dp16 Down syndrome mice and improves learning/memory in wild-type mice

Neurobiology of Disease, 2022
Down syndrome (DS) is characterized by chronic neuroinflammation, peripheral inflammation, astrogliosis, imbalanced excitatory/inhibitory neuronal function, and cognitive deficits in both humans and mouse models.

Trisomy 21 activates the kynurenine pathway via increased dosage of interferon receptors

Nature Communications, 2019
Down syndrome (DS) is caused by trisomy 21 (T21), but the underlying etiology of the related immune and neurological dysfunction is unclear. Here, the authors show that T21 activates the kynurenine pathway via increased interferon receptor copy number ...

Mass Cytometry Reveals Global Immune Remodeling with Multi-lineage Hypersensitivity to Type I Interferon in Down Syndrome

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: People with Down syndrome (DS; trisomy 21) display a different disease spectrum relative to the general population, including lower rates of solid malignancies and higher incidence of neurological and autoimmune conditions.

Organoids for the Study of Retinal Development and Developmental Abnormalities

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
The cumulative knowledge of retina development has been instrumental in the generation of retinal organoid systems from pluripotent stem cells; and these three-dimensional organoid models, in turn, have provided unprecedented opportunities for retinal ...

Opioids and Down’s syndrome

Journal of Opioid Management, 2006
Opioids are used in clinical practice for sedation, anesthesia, and analgesia. Their effects depend on their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics. The liver is the major site for the biotransformation of most opioids. The major metabolic pathway is oxidation.

Variegated overexpression of chromosome 21 genes reveals molecular and immune subtypes of Down syndrome

Nature Communications
Individuals with Down syndrome, the genetic condition caused by trisomy 21, exhibit strong inter-individual variability in terms of developmental phenotypes and diagnosis of co-occurring conditions.

An integrated multi-omic natural history study of human development, sexual dimorphism, and the effects of trisomy 21

Nature Communications
Human development involves multiple signaling pathways acting concertedly in an age- and sex-specific fashion. Trisomy 21, the genetic cause of Down syndrome, dysregulates human development leading to both early neurodevelopmental delays and atypical ...

Breastfeeding in children with down syndrome

BMC Pediatrics
Introduction Babies with Down syndrome (DS) present physical characteristics that can make breastfeeding difficult, including hypotonia of the muscles of the oral cavity and pharynx which can create problems with sucking and swallowing. Breastfeeding has
