Protein expression in down syndrome brain /

This book presents latest original research work and current opinions on Down syndrome, focussing on the molecular biology of the Down syndrome brain at the protein level, rather than at nucleic acid level, as it is the proteins that do the work, and there is a long and unpredictable way from RNA to...
