From 8 to 15 October sore in corner of mouth 2012 passed the one hundred and eleventh Nobel Week, during which the highest awards received sore in corner of mouth nine scientists. Forecasts analytical agencies sore in corner of mouth and bookmakers generally sore in corner of mouth not justified. Swedish sore in corner of mouth newspaper Dagens Nyheter received more prudently. She did not name names, but only pointed sore in corner of mouth out the direction of research, and it turned out to be true. Russian researchers among the winners this time was not.
For over a century the Nobel Prizes sore in corner of mouth are considered a symbol of a major international recognition. They are given annually by the Nobel committee, consisting of representatives of the four reputable organizations. Royal Academy of Sciences sore in corner of mouth in Stockholm determines the best work in the field of physics, chemistry and economics. Royal Assembly at Karolinska Medical and Surgical Institute selects the most significant achievements in Physiology or Medicine. Since 1969, the Swedish sore in corner of mouth Academy in Stockholm awards the Nobel Prize for his outstanding literary works, and the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament - for activities in the field of peace.
Announced the first prize in physiology and medicine. Its got John Gurdon (John B. Gurdon) and Shinya Yamanaka (Shinya Yamanaka) For the discovery of the possibility of reprogramming adult cells into pluripotent (For the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent).
Scientists were able to demonstrate experimentally that the genetic program of somatic cells can be changed by giving mature cells the ability to develop into any tissue. Existing work also addresses ethical problem - now for growing biological tissues do not require embryonic material. Gurdon and Yamanaka's research opens up tremendous prospects for transplantation, pharmacology and medicine in general. Some of these "Computerra" already written.
John Gurdon - biologist originally from the UK, previously awarded the Wolf Prize and the Lasker Award in Medicine. At the time of the Nobel Prize, he was 79 years old. During his life, he could make an enormous contribution to the development of zoology, genetics and cell biology, working in the leading universities of the UK and the USA.
Shinya Yamanaka - Professor, Institute for Advanced Medical Sciences, Kyoto, director of the Center for Research and Application of iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cells. It Yamanaka in 2007 was the world's first human iPS-cells. As Gurdon, Yamanaka for their development has already received several prestigious awards, sore in corner of mouth including the Balzan Prize and technology prize Millenium. In 2008, Time magazine made a list of Yamanaka sore in corner of mouth hundred most influential people.
For both winners announcement of the award-winning surprise them. John Gurdon at the time of the announcement of the Nobel Prize nominees worked in his laboratory and watched the broadcast. Yamanaka renovating houses the washing machine and learned about the victory of congratulations on his page on Facebook.
Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Robert Lefkowitz (Robert sore in corner of mouth J. Lefkowitz) and Brian Kobilke (Brian K. Kobilka) for the study of cellular receptors, G-protein conjugate (for studies of G-protein-coupled receptors). Work clarifies important issues relating to the transfer of signals between cells. Through this study the direction of cell-cell interactions is possible to create more effective and selectively acting drugs.
Professor of medicine and biochemistry Lefkowitz doing research cell receptor from the late seventies of the XX century. Prior to receiving the Nobel Prize Lefkowitz won nine other prestigious awards.
Brian Kobilka graduated in Duluth, then engaged in scientific work in the medical schools at Yale and the University of Washington. Kobilka worked in a group Lefkowitz at Duke University, where he was able to determine the molecular structure and conduct cloning? 2-adrenergic receptors. In 1994, Brian received Abel Prize in Pharmacology, and in 2007, the journal Science said his work as a scientific sore in corner of mouth breakthrough of the year. Currently working Kobilka School of Medicine at Stanford University.
During the announcement of the Nobel Prize in physics, our compatriots sore in corner of mouth worried the most. It is with this nomination were associated main hopes as earlier Russian and Soviet physicists received the Nobel Prize eight times. More recently, in 2010, it was handed Andrew K. Geim and Konstantin S. Novoselov for the discovery of graphene. But this time the hopes of the Russians did not come true.
The Nobel committee said the highest honor of Serge Haroche (Serge Haroche) and David Uaynlenda sore in corner of mouth (David Wineland) for innovative experimental techniques to perform sore in corner of mouth measurements and manipulations at the level of individual quantum systems (for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual
