Energy Metabolism and Intracellular pH Alteration in Neural Spheroids Carrying Down Syndrome

Brain diseases including Down syndrome (DS/TS21) are known to be characterized by changes in cellular metabolism. To adequately assess such metabolic changes during pathological processes and to test drugs, methods are needed that allow monitoring of these changes in real time with minimally invasiv...
