It's quite difficult for researchers to gain access to human brains, needless to say, so the number of studies attempting to find specific oligomeric species in human brain are limited. However (and without attempting an exhaustive sea

Scientists are often very circumspect in how they phrase things, but this particular phrasing in the main article is notable: >“This is not a real scientific problem, but it is most unfortunate for general science credibility,” Selkoe wr

Not really. There is plenty of criticism of the amyloid hypothesis within the field, and even specifically of the oligomer variant thereof that Schrag focused on. You can even read that criticism in the link I provided. Schrag's inve

Unfortunately, it seems that in this case it is the author of the article published by Science (Schrag) who is remiss and has written a poorly-researched article. See the link I provided elsewhere in this thread.

Here is a lengthy response from more than 20 researchers in the field [0]. In brief, the claims made in the article above are exaggerated. As someone who works in the field, and who is skeptical of the amyloid hypothesis, I agree. [0] http

Income from government-owned assets, borrowing money, and printing money are the principal other sources of government spending. For Romania you can also add disbursements from the EU.

Well, there isn't a strict correlation between the taxes people pay and state spending. Typically, taxes cover about 70-80% of state spending.

"Sexual distancing", condom usage, etc, was very well supported by the gay community during the 1980's outbreak of HIV.

That's interesting. You can see a difference between N and S hemispheres on the same longitude, e.g. North East USA vs Peru and Japan vs East Australia.

Interesting! In De Filippo et al., they mention that Bacteroidetes sp are absent in urban Europeans, but present in rural Africans; in the OP they mention a similar sounding Bacteroides being present in chimps but not in humans. Is there an

I lived nearby for a few years many years ago. While I appreciate the sentiments you express, I can say that the site was all but abandoned for many many years. For a while it seemed likely that the iconic towers would be demolished, as the

I think it would be more accurate to state that interactions between APP and presenilin are very likely causative in late onset AD. Currently the known consequence of that interaction is production of Abeta, ergo the amyloid hypothesis. H

Curious that you refer to the "space age" in the past tense. Though it might be because the enthusiasm for humans traveling between planets and stars has been somewhat tempered since the 1960's-1980's.

That overstates the benefit somewhat. Housing benefit is capped at the lowest third of local market rates, and further capped at £20,000/yr. So a single person reliant on benefits will at best be able to live in shared accommodation. L

That's a bit of a rant, but for two of the points you make: 1) you own the house you live in, someone on benefits does not; 2) for the point "I have the benefit of getting literally no help", this is literally incorrect, your
