A major MIT investigation provides a single cell transcriptome + epigenome atlas across brain regions & finds that resilience against Alzheimer’s progression depends on preserving epigenomic stability. #Alzheimer #epigenetics Read more here!: https://t.co/627zcKYE2d

Study of 3.5 million cells from more than 100 human brains finds that Alzheimer’s progression—but also resilience to disease—depends on preserving epigenomic stability.
