    Description

    Down syndrome (DS) is linked with mitochondrial dysfunction, which results in accumulation of damaged mitochondria. This study revealed that mitophagy, a form of selective autophagy activated to clear damaged mitochondria, is deficient in primary human fibroblasts derived from individuals with DS. This leads to accumulation of damaged mitochondria with consequent increases in oxidative stress. They...

    Description

    Lysosomal failure plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many congenital neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Down syndrome (DS). This study showed that lysosomal dysfunction in DS requires the extra gene copy of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and is specifically mediated by the β cleaved carboxy terminal fragment of APP (APP-βCTF). In primary fibroblasts from...
