During my first visit to Ciudad de Mexico I had the good fortune of being treated by Tamara Rosenbaum and León Islas, from UNAM. Wonderful hosts! Looking forward to TRPing together #ionchannels #pain

That merely being “under review” by a Nature family journal is offered as a quality proxy for a paper is a tragic illustration of the extent to which academia is addicted to brands and outsources evaluation

Check out this new paper from Stefan Lechner's lab showing with minflux nanoscopy how PIEZO1 channels cluster and invagininate the membrane. Glad we could make a small contribution to this nice story!

Excited to share the final version of our paper, where we invented a robotic device (ARM) for pain and somatosensory testing in rodents. We are excited to see many groups already getting this device in their labs through our startup company Tactorum Inc.

Translating our knowledge of #chronicpain mechanisms into novel #analgesics has proven exceedingly difficult. Which are the major bottlenecks? Can we find ways to bypass them?
@neuroalc.bsky.social hosts a roundtable with 3 distinguished pain researchers to discuss this problem. Admission is free!

It was really one of the best conferences I have ever attended: great science in a friendly atmosphere and a gorgeous setting.
What a great Titisee Conference! “Warm, cold, and life” brought together brilliant minds exploring how temperature shapes the brain, physiology, and behaviour — from mice, wild animals to humans. Thanks to Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds for the support!

Majo la ha llamado Terramar, como la saga de K. Leguin.
Dice Majo que es uno de los pocos negocios que quedan en un barrio cada vez más gentrificado.

Well deserved recognition for overlooked research on a critical ion channel #CysticFibrosis with devatating consequences when not working properly. Great day for the ion channel field; translational research with a solid basic science foundation. I hope they are recognized with the Nobel Prize soon.
In this Medical News podcast episode, pulmonologist Michael J. Welsh, MD, co-recipient of the 2025 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award, discusses future directions for #CysticFibrosis treatment.
