Blood vessels in the brain deteriorate in Alzheimer’s, especially in APOE4 carriers. But what drives this damage?
Our new study, out now in @CellPressNews , uncovers a mechanism linking APOE4 to vascular fibrosis and amyloid accumulation in the brain. 🧠🧬

#lipidtime: It's a lipid universe. Today in Nature we publish the Lipid Brain Atlas, the first map of membrane lipid composition across the entire mouse brain, a layer of organisation that cell-type and transcript maps had left out. #lipidomics #neuroscience #BrainAtlas

in @CellCellPress, using iDISCO+ clearing & spatial transcriptomics, @nicolasrenier lab maps how cerebral vasculature forms across the whole brain. Reveals three phases—growth, specialization, refinement—linking vascular remodeling to neuronal maturation.

🚨 An experimental, personalized vaccine using #mRNA to prevent #pancreaticcancer from returning after surgery continues to show promise in a small, 16-person patient group.
New results from a phase 1 clinical trial, being presented at #AACR26, show that nearly 90% of people whose immune systems responded to the vaccine were still alive six years later.
“These early results show this new immunotherapy approach has the potential to be groundbreaking for one of the deadliest cancers,” says MSK physician-scientist Dr. Vinod Balachandran (@TheVinodLab), the trial’s principal investigator and Director of The Olayan Center for Cancer Vaccines.

In a recent preprint at bioRxiv (Yang et al., doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.02.6…), a group of authors led by Dr Anjali Kusumbe challenges an article from my lab published in 2024 (Koh et al. 2024, PMID: 39537918). The new preprint refers to Extended Data Figures and Supplementary videos that are unfortunately not provided at bioRxiv. Nevertheless, the manuscript text and the 5 main figures plus a proposed model contain a couple of major issues that I will cover here.
