LONDON — A pair of scientists who discovered a type of RNA molecule that helps control the activity of genes — allowing our cells to perform their myriad functions in different tissues throughout the body — won the 2024 Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology on Monday.
The award went to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their research into microRNA, which the Nobel committee described as a “groundbreaking discovery [that] revealed a completely new principle of gene regulation that turned out to be essential for multicellular organisms, including humans.”
