Gestational diabetes linked to autism in study: what scientists say Nature - Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump says his administration has “found an answer to autism”.

This is one of the largest studies to link gestational diabetes to neurodevelopmental disorders in children

La presidenta de los rectores: “El ascensor social se está perdiendo. Uno tiene beca y no puede seguir estudiando” Eva Alcón achaca a la falta de recursos públicos que miles de brillantes bachilleres no puedan cumplir su sueño

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.

TRYPTYR (acoltremon ophthalmic solution) 0.003% eye drops | Alcon US 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.

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.

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

"Using multi-unit recording we found that inner speech is robustly represented in motor cortex, & decoded imagined sentences in real time. We demonstrate strategies to prevent brain-computer interfaces from unintentionally decoding private inner speech." Fascinating new @cp-cell.bsky.social paper:👇🧪

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Y aquí va la distribución completa de proyectos:
- 2/3 partes de los proyectos tienen 50.000€ o menos por año. Esto no cambia.
- La financiación media por proyecto baja ligeramente (2%) respecto al PID2023.
- El porcentaje de éxito cae al 46% (49% en el PID2023).

La ciencia en España se estanca. 😕

La #AEI @ageinves.bsky.social del #MICIU publica la resolución de los proyectos #PID2024. Lo principal:
- El número de solicitudes de proyectos sube un 1️⃣0️⃣%. Genial, ¿no?? La ciencia crece en España, ¿no?? 😀

Pues no... 😕
- La financiación total se estanca.
- La financiación por proyecto baja.
