Our @KingsIoPPN PhD students Yajing, Phoebe and Mina are presenting their posters on #aging in #Downsyndrome at the @t21rs conference in Rome. Look out for their research on Alzheimer’s disease, machine learning, cognition, blood biomarkers and MRI! #t21rs2024

Olivia Belbin from @SantPauMemory showing that inflammation is very high with Alzheimer's disease in Down Syndrome using OLINK and CSF ..fascinating and could give new biomarkers (CCL3 in CSF and CXCL9 in plasma) #t21rs

[Dr. Elizabeth Head @ElzHead]

Cherie Stringer @AquaporinGirl showing us why astrocytes and aquaporin 4 may be important for Aging and Alzheimers disease in Down Syndrome #t21rs!!

[Bruna @brunazampieri]

As highlighted by @McPotier, the president of @t21rs, one of the goals of the society is to organize and compile a list of iPSC lines derived from individuals with Down syndrome that will be available to other researchers. Do you have cells? Please contact us! @KristyWelshhans

[Dr. Elizabeth Head @ElzHead]

Last talk of a very exciting session #t21rs from Cliona Farrell @ClionaFarrell_ Proteomics studies point to genes on other chromosomes outside of 21 as important. ApoE protein levels are higher in the brains of people with Down syndrome..what could it mean??!

[Dr. Elizabeth Head @ElzHead]

Lisi Flores Aguilar @Lisi_FA at #t21rs showing her work on blood brain barrier dysfunction in aging Down Syndrome brain..thank you @alzassociation, @dsachieves and Jerome Lejeune Foundation for support! @abc_ds_

[Global Down Syndrome Foundation @GDSFoundation]

Met with violinist 🎻 and self-advocate Maria at the T21RS International Research Conference in Rome and caught up with society leaders Roger, Mara, Marie-Claude and new friends. What an inspirational evening 💖

Great 1st GLOBAL day in Rome at the T21RS Conference! Met with many wonderful friends from NIH and had fun with Dr. Espinosa and Crnic colleagues. Workshops from 8:30AM & opening plenary organized by Dr. Barone. Learning a lot, which is our definition of fun 😊 #downsyndrome

[Clíona Farrell @ClionaFarrell_]

It was great to organise and co-chair this @t21rs symposium on omics approaches in Down syndrome Alzheimer's disease with @Lisi_FA!
And a pleasure to speak among the other incredible talks from @swaruplab1, Mark Mapstone and Olivia Belbin @ucimind @SantPauMemory

[Dr. Elizabeth Head @ElzHead]

Learning about metabolic and lipidomic plasma biomarkers that could signal Alzheimer disease in Down Syndrome from Mark Mapstone @abc_ds_ #t21rs

[Ellie Andrews @EJDrews]

Honored to be able to present some of our work at T21RS! If you’re interested in learning more about aging and sex differences in human neuropathology, come chat with me at poster 094!

Rome, you’ve been absolutely wonderful! @HeadLab21 @t21rs #t21rs2024

[Oksana Hlyva @goDSresearch]

Thank you for sharing some specifics @ElzHead #t21rs #t21rs2024.

As a parent, we work so hard on advocating and participating in social, enrichment opportunities as our children grow up. Knowing that there is research on #AD in #Downsyndtome gives us hope!

[ICOD_Project @ICOD_Project]

We are waiting for you in Rome this week for the 5Th T21RS to discuss with our Coordinator Rafael De La Torre the most recent advances in our European ICOD project!! #ICOD #IMIM #DS #AELISFARMA #Cognition #HADEA

[LonDownS Consortium @LonDownS]

As part of this conference on #Downsyndrome, there will sessions open to families on Friday and Saturday in Rome.  We would be grateful if you could pass the information on to families who might be interested: https://t.co/Xedl5lkNNg

[Dr. Elizabeth Head @ElzHead]

Did you know we learned a lot about amyloid in Alzheimer's disease from people with Down syndrome?? Dr. John Hardy gave a fun and compelling plenary today! #t21rs

[Dr. Elizabeth Head @ElzHead]

Loved this plenary talk by
Anita Bhattacharyya..telling us all about iPSCs and how they help us understand brain development in Down Syndrome! #t21rs
