Congratulations to the 2024 recipients of The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine! NIH is proud to have supported the research of Drs. Victor Ambros (UMass Chan Medical School) and Gary Ruvkun (Mass General Hospital), who received the Nobel Prize for “for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.” Their groundbreaking discovery of microRNA in roundworms revealed a new principle of gene regulation and is proving to be fundamental in how organisms develop and function.

BREAKING NEWS The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institutet has today decided to award the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. This year’s Nobel Prize honours two scientists for their discovery of a fundamental principle governing how gene activity is regulated. The information stored within our chromosomes can be likened to an instruction manual for all cells in our body. Every cell contains the same chromosomes, so every cell contains exactly the same set of genes and exactly the same set of instructions. Yet, different cell types, such as muscle and nerve cells, have very distinct characteristics. How do these differences arise? The answer lies in gene regulation, which allows each cell to select only the relevant instructions. This ensures that only the correct set of genes is active in each cell type. This year’s medicine laureates 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. Their surprising discovery revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation. MicroRNAs are proving to be fundamentally important for how organisms develop and function.

Researchers used MRI to track how a woman’s brain changed before, during, and for two years after her pregnancy. Notable changes arose on an almost weekly basis during pregnancy, with a reduction in gray matter and rise in white matter over time. The findings are a step toward building a comprehensive pregnancy brain map, which could help shed light on health outcomes like postpartum depression. https://bit.ly/3N7zHWC #pregnancy #brain #BrainMap #postpartum #PostpartumDepression #women #research #science #NewScience #NIH

Researchers discovered a protein produced by hibernating ground squirrels that allows their eyes to rapidly clear cataracts formed during cold exposure. The eyes of rats and fish treated with this protein gained the ability to clear cataracts, suggesting a potential drug treatment strategy and a possible surgery-free approach for managing cataracts. https://bit.ly/4eKGr8x #protein #cataracts #eyes #treatment #CataractsManagement #research #science #NEI #NIH
