      Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent type of dementia. Down syndrome (DS) is the leading genetic risk factor for Early-Onset AD, prematurely presenting the classic pathological features of the brain with AD. ...
    • Down syndrome critical region 1 gene, Rcan1, helps maintain a more fused Mitochondrial Network 
      Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Altamirano, Francisco; Hernández Fuentes, Carolina; Tong, Dan; Kyrychenko, Victoriia; Rotter, David; Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Hill, Joseph A.; Eisner, Verónica; Lavandero González, Sergio; Schneider, Jay W.; Rothermel, Beverly A. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2018)
      Rationale: The regulator of calcineurin 1 (RCAN1) inhibits CN (calcineurin), a Ca2+-activated protein phosphatase important in cardiac remodeling. In humans, RCAN1 is located on chromosome 21 in proximity to the Down ...
