"The human dignity is not an algorithm" Sharon Stone and the Nobel Prize winners in the Capitol: "The human dignity is not an algorithm" #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #RicercaScientifica (translated)
The Nobel Prize in Medicine 2026 has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel for their discoveries on light-activated ion channels and optogenetics. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #RicercaScientifica (translated)
"This technique is a perfect bridge between molecular biology, engineering, and neuroscience, and for the future - he added - interesting applications for vision and the nervous system are opening up." This Nobel laureate defined it as a "triumph of interdisciplinarity," said geneticist Giuseppe Novelli from the University of Rome Tor Vergata. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)
"It is a great honor, incredible and unexpected," said Deisseroth, who had just gone to sleep after working on an article late into the night, after his children had fallen asleep. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)
"I am very surprised, I can't believe it." #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)
The Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to Georg Nagel, Peter Hegemann, and Karl Deisseroth for their groundbreaking work in optogenetics, a technique that uses light to control nerve cells, opening new avenues in the study of the brain and the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)
Karl Deisseroth, a neuroscientist, wondered along with his research group whether it was possible to use that protein to control specific groups of neurons, selecting them from the billions of nerve cells that make up the brain. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)
After studying the phenomenon with various experiments, Hegemann hypothesized that the alga contained a protein capable of both sensing light and opening a small channel in the cell membrane of the alga. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)
The Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel for their innovations in the use of light to control neuronal activity, which is fundamental to understanding how the brain works. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)
Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel won the Nobel Prize in Medicine 2026 for their groundbreaking discoveries in optogenetics, allowing the control of nerve signals with light. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #KarlDeisseroth (translated)
When Deisseroth became aware of the discovery of channelrhodopsin-2, he wrote to his co-awardee Georg Nagel asking if he could have access to the DNA that encodes the protein. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Chlamydomonas (translated)
The Nobel Prize in Medicine 2026 has been awarded to Peter Hegemann, Georg Nagel, and Karl Deisseroth for the discovery of channelrhodopsin, a light-sensitive protein derived from the algae Chlamydomonas, which has revolutionized the study of brain mechanisms through optogenetics. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Chlamydomonas (translated)
