@laufervergara You are the best.

Truly honored to receive the 2026 American Physiological Society International Early Career Physiologist Travel Award. I’m very grateful for this recognition and excited to attend the 2026 APS Summit in Minneapolis next week!#APS2026 #WeArePhysiology

@laufervergara Para mi, tu llegaste justo a tiempo, encajaste en mi vida como pieza de rompecabezas, y eres más que suficientemente buena, eres tu.

Interesting perspective on how to solve the pervasive problem of violence in Mexico. https://t.co/blWFSNtfSm

TAS aburrido este viernes? Cálate esto

Nos inventamos un app chario

Nos quedó cabrona.
Manda tus mejores respuestas.

Resultado de la incapacidad del gobierno para garantizarnos un Estado de derecho. Sige abrazando criminales @Claudiashein.

🔴El empresario tequilero Adrián Corona, presidente de Grupo Corona, fue localizado sin vida en Atenguillo, Jalisco, tras haber sido secuestrado a finales de diciembre.

La Fiscalía de Jalisco confirmó que el cuerpo presentaba huellas de violencia y un impacto de bala.

La Vicefiscalía Regional mantiene abiertas las investigaciones para esclarecer el homicidio.

Imposible mejorar un sistema de salud así… el interés de un gobierno en algo, se ve reflejado en el presupuesto que le asigna, lo demás, es demagogia.

What is a PhD?

[Germán Magaña Ávila. @GermanRick95]

A must-read for anyone interested in renal physiology. Congratulations to @armurillo64 on this beautiful paper!

🚰 New in JASN!
Our study shows that Aqp2 transcription is not solely dependent on CREB1. Instead, any of the three CREB-family transcription factors (ATF1, CREB1, CREM) can drive vasopressin-induced AQP2 expression.

The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard

In Mexico, every medical resident must complete a research thesis to become a certified specialist. While the intention is to promote scientific training, the reality is that many residents are already overwhelmed with clinical duties.

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Once residency/fellowship applicants can safely acknowledge their lack of interest in conducting research without torching their job prospects, then we will have entered a new utopia with the perfect balance of physicians, scientists, and physician-scientists. It will be beautiful.

@arohan_s @jclinicalinvest @caryboyd3 Excellent work!!! congrats to all involved.

➡️In conclusion our work expands in the regulatory mechanisms of salt transport in the kidney with implications in human physiology and disease.

Huge thanks to everyone involved—it's been a truly rewarding journey. 🙏🤓🧪

Paper alert!‼️ 🚨

So excited to share our latest work in SciAdv done at the UFM in collaboration with DarioAlessi, @dhekidney, Delpirelab.

🧂How can a psudokinase and scaffolding proteins modulate Na+ transport in the kidney?

A thread 🧵

➡️Finally, we found that the short isoform TSC22D3 (GILZ) disrupts WNK–TSC22D2–SPAK condensates, inhibiting SPAK phosphorylation.🚫⛔️
This effect is blocked by CRY2-induced oligomerization of TSC22D2, showing a regulatory balance between isoforms.⚖️✅
