Evidence 2bcf1a8917

Normalizing the gene dosage of Dyrk1A in the TS mouse rescued the density of senescent cells in the cingulate cortex, hippocampus and septum, prevented cholinergic neuron degeneration, and reduced App expression in the hippocampus, Aß load in the cortex and hippocampus, the expression of phosphorylated tau at the Ser202 residue in the hippocampus and cerebellum and the levels of total tau in the cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum.

Evidence 39ddc8fb8a

The normalization of the Dyrk1A gene dosage did not rescue the reduced cerebellar volume but increased the size of the granular and molecular layers, the densities of granular and Purkinje cells, and dendritic arborization.
