From the discussions, it sounds like this fraud is significant in terms of Dr. Sylvain Lesné&amp;#x27;s work, but that the news has been vastly blown out of proportion.&lt;p&gt;These comments are written by real Alzheimer&amp;#x27;s researchers. They all disagree with the notion that Lesné&amp;#x27;s papers have been important to the field, and therefore undermine the idea that this has any bearing on &amp;quot;two decades of Alzheimer&amp;#x27;s research&amp;quot;. (Karen Ashe, co-author of the main paper referenced here, also stops by the thread.)&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.alzforum.org&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;community-news&amp;#x2F;sylvain-lesne-who-found-av56-accused-image-manipulation&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.alzforum.org&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;community-news&amp;#x2F;sylvain-lesne-w...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
