The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

This year’s Nobel Prize honors two scientists for their discovery of a fundamental principle governing how gene activity is regulated.

Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun were interested in how different cell types develop. They discovered microRNA, a new class of tiny RNA molecules that play a crucial role in gene regulation. Their groundbreaking discovery revealed a completely new principle of gene regulation that turned out to be essential for multicellular organisms, including humans. It is now known that the human genome codes for over one thousand microRNAs.
