Aberrant calcium signaling in astrocytes inhibits neuronal excitability in a human Down syndrome stem cell model
2018-01-14
Abstract excerpt
Down syndrome (DS) is a devastating genetic disorder causing severe cognitive impairment. The staggering array of effects associated with an extra copy of human chromosome 21 (HSA21) complicates mechanistic understanding of DS pathophysiology. We developed an in vitro system to examine the interplay of neurons and astrocytes in a fully recapitulated HSA21 trisomy model differentiated from DS patient-derived induce...
