Down's Syndrome Stem Cells used to model Alzheimer's

[Guest guest]

(note...these were adult stem cells ( skin cells taken from volunteers with Ds)  " Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a new and innovative way to study Alzheimer’s disease in the lab. The stem cell technique, which allows researchers to track the disease over a matter of weeks, could provide a valuable tool for scientists to unravel the complexity of Alzheimer’s and test potential new treatments.  "
