    2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine   jointly to   William G. Kaelin, Jr., Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza

    The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to award the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly to William G. Kaelin, Jr., Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability.Animals need oxygen for the conversion of food into useful energy. The fundamental importance of oxygen has been understood for centuries, but how cells adapt to changes in levels of oxygen has long been unknown. William G. Kaelin Jr., Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza discovered how cells can sense and adapt to

    2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

    jointly to                 James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo             for their discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulationSUMMARY Cancer kills millions of people every year and is one of humanity’s greatest health challenges. By stimulating the inherent ability of our immune system to attack tumor cells this year’s Nobel Laureates have established an entirely new principle for cancer therapy. James P. Allison studied a known protein that functions as a brake on the immune system. He realized the potential of releasing the brake and thereby

    PRESS RELEASE 2013-10-07 The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to award The 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly to James E. Rothman, Randy W. Schekmanand Thomas C. Südhof for their discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic,a major transport system in our cells SUMMARY The 2013 Nobel Prize honours three scientists who have solved the mystery of how the cell organizes its transport system. Each cell is a factory that produces and exports molecules. For instance, insulin is manufactured and released into the blood and

    Statement by the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet

    The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has been informed by an American news agency that a lawsuit has been filed against us by a person in Los Angeles. We have not yet received any such lawsuit and have not, therefore, been able to assess it in detail. The name of the plaintiff has never been put forward to us previously. This year´s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awards the fundamental discoveries that demonstrated that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent. The Prize has been very well received and has obtained massive support by the international

    New Nobel Commettee for Physiology or Medicine

    The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has appointed new members of the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine. Professor Juleen R. Zierath was elected as Chairman of the Committee for 2013. She succeeds Professor Urban Lendahl, who concludes his 6 year term on the Nobel Committee.Professor Thomas Perlmann (Molecular Development Biology) will be the vice chairman of the Nobel Committee. Other members include Professors Jan Andersson (Infectious Diseases), Rune Toftgård (Environmental Toxicology) and Anna Wedell (Medical Genetics). In addition, 10 ad hoc members are selected each

    The 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

    jointly to John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammedto become pluripotentSUMMARY The Nobel Prize recognizes two scientists who discovered that mature, specialised cells can be reprogrammed to become immature cells capable of developing into all tissues of the body. Their findings have revolutionised our understanding of how cells and organisms develop. John B. Gurdon discovered in 1962 that the specialisation of cells is reversible. In a classic experiment, he replaced the immature cell nucleus in an egg cell of a frog with the
