Down Syndrome

Down syndrome is a chromosome disorder associated either with an extra chromosome 21 or an effective trisomy for chromosome 21. Clinical manifestations include hypotonia, short stature, brachycephaly, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, Simian crease, and moderate to severe intellectual disability.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

Chromosomal Abnormalities

Chromosome abnormalities can be classified as either structural or numerical. Numerical abnormalities include duplications or deletion of a pair of chromosomes, such as Down Syndrome. Structural abnormalities include missing, extra or switched parts of a chromosome. Discover the latest research on chromosomal abnormalities here.

Yeast as a Model Organism (Yeast Model)

Yeast is a unicellular eukaryote that is utilized and manipulated in biological research to examine biological processes that underlie DNA replication, cell growth, and division, among numerous others. This feed focuses on yeast as a model organism.

Hematopoiesis & Alzheimer's Disease

The formation of blood cells, hematopoiesis, has been exploited for the potential use as a therapy in Alzheimer’s disease. Decreased levels of lymphocytes and proteins involved in stem cell recruitment are found in early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Here is the latest research on hematopoiesis and Alzheimer’s disease.
