Two major studies have mapped how Down syndrome reshapes brain development before birth and traced the genetic evolution of a rare leukemia affecting children with the condition. UCLA researchers ...

Scientists mapped human brain development in Down syndrome at a cellular level, discovering that stem cells "rush" to become ...

Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human brain development before birth—a resource that resolves longstanding ...

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

A research team led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London and University College London (UCL) has found new clues about how the brains of people with Down syndrome develop differently from ...

A collaborative research study co-led by scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Liber Institute for Brain Development has for the first time identified a biological process ...

Scientists in Japan have used gene-editing technology to remove the extra chromosome responsible for Down syndrome, at least in lab-grown human cells. The project, led by Dr. Ryotaro Hashizume of Mie ...

Cutting-edge gene editing technology could eradicate Down syndrome, according to Japanese scientists. Down syndrome, which causes a range of developmental differences and affects 1 in 700 newborns in ...
