As someone who has worked on cancer therapeutics It’s important to know what stage of development this is at and it’s been a struggle. I’ll try to get sources but I’m on my phone and a little digging revealed they have most likely are about to move from cell culture to animal models.

Most potential drugs fail in that transition. (And most successful drugs that make it past animal testing Fail in clinical trials)

You can get a lot of cool shit to happen in a dish and outside of a biological system with blood and other tissues and systems interacting. Cancer in a dish doesn’t have access to your immune system And vasculature And other tissues which it loves to exploit to protect itself.

This drug is still in development and I hope this press gets them some well deserved funding! But it’s a long road to being a real treatment.

For example, I saw on change.org a petition from someone begging for this university to let them use this drug on their uncle who has brain cancer.

It’s not ready for that. Not even close. I found more sites saying they are ready to START animal testing.

The media makes it seem like these drugs are ready to be used on humans when they are not! It’s great to know that these students are working so hard to develop treatments, they deserve all the funding!

Just be careful not to buy into the sensational reporting!

I remember first learning that you can cry from any emotion, that emotions are chemical levels in your brain and your body is constantly trying to maintain equilibrium. so if one emotion sky rockets, that chemical becomes flagged and signals the tear duct to open as an exit to release that emotion packaged neatly within a tear. Everything made sense after learning that. That sudden stability of your emotions after crying. How crying is often accompanied by the inability to feel any other emotion in that precise moment. And it is especially beautiful knowing that it is even possible to experience so much beauty or love or happiness that your body literally can’t hold on to all of it. So what I’ve learned is that crying signifies that you are feeling as much as humanely possible and that is living to the fullest extent. So keep feeling and cry often and as much as needed

SHIT WHAT

Also let yourself cry. It really is a biochemical release valve to dump out all the chemicals that make you feel stuff.

I honestly think one reason men in western culture have so many problems is that we don’t let them cry, and literally their brains get stuffed with all this crap that doesn’t have a release valve. Men, please cry. You’ll feel better. It’s ok. You are not lesser for taking care of your health.

This is why tears from different emotions look different under an electron microscope. They’re literally made up of different things. 

Happy tears are structurally different than sad tears than angry tears than overwhelmed tears etc.

Ah yes, the emotions: grief, change, onion, humor

Those images come from an interesting article through Smithsonian! They were taken by photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher around 2013.

The article does touch on the three different types of scientifically recognized tears as well! Psychic tears triggered by extreme emotions, basal tears to keep your cornea lubricated, and reflex tears due to irritation (like onion vapors). That being said, I need to cry more.
