The 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”
🧬 Epigenetic editing: from concept to clinic.
Epigenetic editing enables durable gene expression reprogramming without altering DNA sequence.
Early concerns on efficacy and specificity are being addressed through improved understanding of epigenetic maintenance, targeting precision, and delivery systems. First clinical trials are now underway.
