PUBMED is down. This is disaster !!
We do not have the system and organization to replace it. (EuroPMC is great but not a replacement)
It is crystal clear that we cannot depend on critical systems provided by a single provider.
European reaction has to include science and science infrastructures.

The NIH website, including NCBI, GenBank, and BLAST are down. I thought it might be a brief outage so waited 12 hours and checked again before posting this. They’re still down.

It is hard to express just how fundamental these tools are to biology and medicine: research, applied, public and private.

Propagation of pathologic α-synuclein from kidney to brain may contribute to Parkinson’s disease - Nature Neuroscience
Yuan et al. find that the kidney can serve as a site of initiation for the spread of pathological α-synuclein to the brain, contributing to the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and providing a ...
