Down syndrome fibroblasts exhibit diminished autophagic clearance and endosomal dysfunction after serum starvation
2018-10-05
Abstract excerpt
Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder caused by trisomy of chromosome 21 (Tri21). This unbalanced karyotype has the ability to produce proteotoxic stress and dysfunction of the proteostasis network (PN), which are mechanistically associated with several comorbidities found in the DS phenotype. Autophagy is the cellular process responsible for bulk protein degradation and its impairment could negatively impact p...
