His legacy is irrevocably tainted by misogynist and racist statements. We should remember both the science and the harm. I, for one, will remember Rosalind Franklin more.

Single-nucleus multiomics in brains from Hispanic individuals reveal APOE-ε4-driven disruption of focal adhesion signaling in the presence of cerebrovascular pathology
The apolipoprotein E4 allele (APOEϵ4) is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet its molecular impact on cerebrovascular biology remains inconclusive, particular...

Using X/Twitter data from nine countries, a study in Nature Communications shows that out-group mentions use more toxic language than in-group mentions, and political mentions are more toxic than apolitical mentions. https://go.nature.com/417N7KG 🧪

🚨 Our new study out in @natureportfolio.bsky.social! 🌟
We identify the "little brain" of the heart: the intricate intracardiac nervous system (IcNS) of zebrafish! 🐟
More about how this changes what we know about heart functionality.

Changes in ABCA7 gene links to a greater risk of Alzheimer’s, but it was unclear how the variants advance the disease. We have discovered how variants of the ABCA7 gene, which are common among Black Americans, increase the risk for Alzheimer’s.

Study Shows How Common Genetic Variants in Black Americans Increase Alzheimer’s Risk
Variants of the ABCA7 gene accelerate neurodegeneration by reducing the amount of neuropeptide Y, a protein essential for maintaining brain synapses.
