Background;
Most individuals with DS: AD brain pathology by middle age but not all get dementia
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene on Hsa21 over-expressed from infancy onwards
Signs of amyloid plaque build-up already present in some infants at 20 months (Gyure et al., 2011).
Still not understood why some do/don’t go on to develop AD dementia
Only way to fully understand phenotypic endpoint at neural, cognitive or behavioural levels: trace it back to its developmental origins (Karmiloff-Smith 1998)

A new method for generating arrayed RNAi screening tools for any organism
PosterRNA interference (RNAi) using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is an important technology for down-regulation of gene expression and a powerful tool to study cellular processes and pathways. Previously, large collections of siRNAs were available only for traditional experimental model systems, such as human and mouse, and predominantly provided as chemically synthesized libraries.
