@medwinpublishers1.bsky.social🧠 What if you could switch a single brain cell ON or OFF using light?
Optogenetics allows researchers to control genetically targeted neurons with light, helping reveal how brain cells shape neural circuits and behavior.

@daily27.bsky.social"They identified light-sensitive proteins called channelrhodopsins, which can act as tiny molecular switches: when illuminated, they allow charged particles to cross the cell membrane and generate an electrical signal"

@ijmsc.bsky.socialOptogenetics just earned Deisseroth, Hegemann, and Nagel the Nobel in medicine.
In MS research, mouse and cell studies are using it to explore remyelination and light-triggered interferon-beta delivery. Still preclinical, but worth a read.

@ctgct.bsky.socialWhat if we could control cells with pulses of light?💡
The 2026 #NobelPrize #Medicine honors #optogenetics, a discovery that changed neuroscience and is now shaping synthetic biology, regenerative medicine, and gene & cell therapies.
And the story doesn't stop with light.👀

@bluetools-project.eu🧪 A light switch for brain cells, found in a lake. BLUETOOLS partner Technion Israel and the University of Tokyo discovered HulaCCR1, a light sensitive protein from Lake Hula. In lab tests, it made rat neurons fire using only light. 🎦Watch: https://f.mtr.cool/psvvdcvnu5

@musumecionline.bsky.socialWhat if light could become a language for talking to the brain?
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine recognised the scientists behind optogenetics — a technology that can make selected neurons respond to light.
@aimspress.comCongratulations to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel on being awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”
