🤩Our paper is out in @Brain1878! We investigated brain cytokine expression and microglial morphology along the #Alzheimer’s continuum in people with #DownSyndrome: from fetal to adult stages 🧠👶👧👨.➡️@mcgillu @t21rs @CdnDownSyndrome @ISTAART .Thread ⬇️
Many individuals with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s pathology early in life. @Lisi_FA et al. study neuroinflammation across the lifespan in Down syndrome, and reveal changes in microglial activation along the Alzheimer’s continuum. @mcgillu @McGillMed
