Nobel prize for chemistryilluminates disease

Wouldn't be amazing to "see" with our eyes the cell's process and molecular cogs at work? Well, this year, the Chemistry Nobel Prize is for three scientifics ( two of them Americans and the other Japanese scientists) who have been working with the GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein). The GFP is a protein wich was first observed in a speacially jellyfish and it allows to probe nerve cell damage in Alzheimer's disease, cancer progress and HIV infection process. It's use to watch how the cells work , it means, to understand how all the cells components interact with each other.

The cells, in contact with this protein, reveals concentration, movement and the fact of interaction if it is necesary. It can reveals insight of what goes wrong during disease. It's something spectacular if you think about this help for biology studies. The scientists named: Prof. Osamu Shimomura, Prof. Martin Chalfie and Prof. Roger Tsien, were the winners of the prize, which will take an equal share of 10m Swedish kronor.
