Molecular mechanisms of oral deficiencies in Down syndrome
Summary
We will investigate if individuals with Down syndrome (DS) are predisposed to develop Sjogren’s-like disease (SjD) using the DS mouse model Dp16 mice, which will be treated with agonists of toll-like receptors (TLR) and interferon stimulation (e.g. DMXAA) to address if they develop enhanced SjD.
