miR155, triplicated in Down syndrome, regulates the development of neural stem cells and GABAergic interneurons in Alzheimer's disease mouse and human iPSC models
Dysfunctional microRNAs and GABAergic interneurons are features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The role of neuronal microRNA155 (miR155), elevated in both AD and Down syndrome (DS), remains unknown.
Post mortem proteomic analysis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain tissue has identified novel target genes and proteins for potential therapeutic development. Moesin (MSN) and CD44 were identified as candidate targets. Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)‐derived neurons, we assayed how reducing gene expression of MSN and CD44 affected amyloid beta secretion, tau phosphorylation, and transcriptional state.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) features amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and tau tangles, yet how their coexistence reshapes brain transcriptomic programs remains unclear.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of midbrain substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons, resulting in striatal dopamine depletion and motor dysfunction. While this pathological cascade is well‐established, its underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Down syndrome (DS) is caused by a complete or partial trisomy of chromosome 21, resulting in variable intellectual disabilities and a high risk for early‐onset Alzheimer's disease (DS‐AD). Dysregulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and insulin (INS) signaling pathways has been reported in DS. We hypothesized that upstream alterations in these two pathways contribute to hippocampal dysfunction in DS‐AD.
