Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun discovered microRNAs, which play a crucial role in gene regulation in multicellular organisms, earning them the Nobel prize in physiology.
Nobel committee member Olle Kämpe stated that the discovery has opened a new field in gene regulation, highlighting its significance in understanding biological processes.
Committee chair Gunilla Karlsson Hedestaman emphasized the importance of understanding microRNAs and their regulatory networks, noting that this knowledge is the first essential step in their application.
