The Nobel Prize in Medicine 2019 – Awarded For Research on How Cells Manage Oxygen Written on 10/09/2019 Vinod kushwaha Nobel Prize in Medicine 2019 Awarded for Research on How Cells Manage Oxygen The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet, on Monday, has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine for the year 2019, jointly to William G. Kaelin Jr., Gregg L. Semenza, and Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe for their studies and discoveries of how cells sense & adapt to oxygen availability. Their research work established the genetic mechanisms that allow cells to respond to changes in oxygen levels. The findings have implications for treating a variety of diseases, including cancer, anemia, heart attacks, and strokes. Animals need oxygen for converting their food into useful energy. The fundamental importance of oxygen in the living has been understood for centuries; Still how cells adapt to the changes in levels of oxygen has been unknown ...
