The Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to Americans Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their discovery of microRNA, fundamentally important for gene regulation.
Ambros performed the research for his prize at Harvard University and is now a professor of natural science at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
The Nobel Assembly recognized their discovery as crucial for understanding how organisms develop and function, highlighting the significance of microRNA in biological processes.
The prize is valued at 11 million Swedish kronor ($1 million), continuing the legacy of Alfred Nobel, and will be awarded in a ceremony on Dec. 10.
