THE NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSIOLOGY OR MEDICINE 2013
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2013 was awarded jointly to James E. Rothman, Randy W. Schekman and Thomas C. Südhof "for their discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic, a major transport system in our cells".Two Americans, James Rothman and Randy Schekman, and Germany's
Thomas Sudhof won the 2013 Nobel prize for medicine or physiology for research
into how the cell organises its transport system, the award-giving body said on
Monday."Through their discoveries, Rothman, Schekman and Sudhof have
revealed the exquisitely precise control system for the transport and delivery
of cellular cargo," the Nobel Assembly at Sweden's Karolinska Institute
said in a statement when awarding the prize of 8 million crowns ($1.2 million).Medicine
is the first of the Nobel prizes awarded each year. Prizes for achievements in
science, literature and peace were first awarded in 1901 in accordance with the
will of dynamite inventor and businessman Alfred Nobel.
