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)
Klimawandel bringt selbst bei moderaten Temperaturveränderungen schädliche Effekte für Mikroalgen wie Chlamydomonas mit sich, indem sie ihr Zellwachstum steigern, aber die Photosynthese reduzieren, was insbesondere die Sauerstoffproduktion und die Stabilität von marinen Ökosystemen gefährdet. #Klimawandel #Mikroalgen #Umweltschutz
