The podcast explores three Nobel Prize-winning scientific discoveries, ranging from neutrinos found in Antarctic ice to the photosensitivity of a protein and the chemical synthesis of molecules existing in mirror forms, all connected by the search for elusive phenomena. #Neutrini #RicercaScientifica #Chimica (translated)
The European Regulation on Deforestation (EUDR), by compromising the supply of protein for livestock production in the European Union without ensuring environmental benefits, may further weaken the competitiveness of the food sector and increase costs for producers and consumers. #EUDR #AlimentaçãoAnimal #Sustentabilidade (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)
Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel, together with the US researcher Karl Deisseroth, receive the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking research in optogenetics, based on the discovery of the light-sensitive protein channelrhodopsin in a tiny alga. #Optogenetik #Nobelpreis #Forschung (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)
The article discusses the possibility that artificial intelligences could win Nobel Prizes in the future, particularly in the context of the awarding of the 2024 Chemistry Nobel Prize to AI researcher Demis Hassabis for his groundbreaking work on decoding protein folding. #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Nobelpreis #Wissenschaft (translated)
The author asked whether plasma proteins could help identify cardiovascular risk before symptoms appeared, writing that higher levels of haptoglobin and IgA2 were associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events and death, independently of traditional risk factors and imaging.
The author praised new work by Google DeepMind on watermarking AI-generated proteins while preserving their function and design quality. They also said they had discussed watermarking and other ways to track generative AI outputs in biology with Science Magazine.
Donald Trump intensifie sa guerre commerciale contre le Canada en interdisant l'importation de certains produits, y compris des poudres protéinées, ce qui pourrait provoquer des réactions parmi les consommateurs, notamment les gym bros amateurs de musculation, tout en suscitant des préoccupations économiques plus larges et une possible réévaluation de sa politique commerciale avant les élections de mi-mandat. #Trump #Commerce #Canada
McDonald’s kündigt eine Milliarden-Offensive in Höhe von 8,5 Milliarden Dollar an, um weltweit rund 46.000 Filialen zu modernisieren, neue Gerichte mit höherem Proteingehalt einzuführen und das Kundenerlebnis zu verbessern. #McDonalds #Fastfood #Innovation
Les produits enrichis en protéines se multiplient dans les supermarchés mais ils sont souvent "ultra-transformés et liés à la malbouffe", dénonce l'association Foodwatch : Pâtes, boissons, yaourts… https://t.co/h9Ow3KIHEZ #Alimentation #Protéines #Malbouffe #FR

Milch, Joghurt und Quark könnten in naher Zukunft aufgrund eines starken Absatzes, klimatischer Bedingungen und des anhaltenden Proteinbooms erheblich teurer werden, wie der Milchindustrie-Verband meldet. #Milchpreise #ElNiño #Lebensmittelpreise
Demis Hassabis und John Jumper entwickelten mit AlphaFold 2 ein System, das aus der Reihenfolge der Aminosäuren die dreidimensionale Struktur eines Proteins vorhersagen kann. #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Forschung #Durchbrüche
Christoph Bock, Leiter des KI-Instituts der MedUni Wien, sieht die Stärke der KI vor allem in riesigen „Suchräumen“ aus Molekülen, Proteinen oder genetischen Veränderungen. #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Innovation #Wissenschaft

Es inhumano pedirle a gente que pasa 15 horas sin electricidad en su casa, que gana 5 dólares al mes y que los 20 gramos de proteína que tenía para la semana se le están pudriendo por la falta de energía, que no proteste, que calle y que se aguante a los asesinos que les llevaron a vivir en esa situación. #JusticiaSocial #DerechosHumanos #CrisisEconómica
Una modificación genética ha permitido que dos cachorros de beagle, Alfie y Bailey, no produzcan el principal alérgeno canino, la proteína Can f 1, gracias a la técnica CRISPR-Cas9 utilizada en su ADN. #CRISPR #PerrosHipoalergénicos #ModificaciónGenética
