"Es mentira que baste el esfuerzo personal para conseguir la vida que se desea. Sin un grado suficiente de justicia social, la meritocracia es una farsa tan descarada como los privilegios de nacimiento que disfrutan muchos de quienes la defienden". Por Antonio Muñoz Molina social.elpais.com/2v2jr7
Interesante entrevista a @evaalconuji.bsky.social Rectora de la @uji.es y presidenta de la @crueuniversidades.bsky.social en @elpais.com en defensa de una universidad de calidad, y reclamando más apoyo económico de las CCAA a las universidades públicas, que es insuficiente elpais.com/educacion/20...
La presidenta de los rectores: “El ascensor social se está perdiendo. Uno tiene beca y no puede seguir estudiando”

This therapy builds on research from Carlos Belmonte, @neuroviana.bsky.social and colleagues, who showed how corneal cold receptors drive tear production and identified TRPM8 as a target. Once again showcasing the international nature of scientific progress.
Over 20 years after Julius’s lab and mine cloned TRPM8, it is rewarding to see this science helping patients. The TRPM8 agonist Tryptyr treats dry eye by increasing tear production. A reminder that NIH-funded curiosity-driven research translates to medicines. tryptyr.myalcon.com?gad_source=1...

TRYPTYR is a prescription eye drop used for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. See prescribing information, how to save, and more.

It is also a vivid reminder of how difficult it is to translate a basic discovery into a useful therapy. 2002 cloning of TRPM8 2010 demonstration that TRPM8 sustains basal tearing 2024 COMET-2 and COMET-3 trials showed that M8 agonist significantly increased tear production 2025 FDA approves drug
