Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to US scientists for work on touch and heat
Показать описание
U.S. scientists David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian were awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize for Medicine on Monday for discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch, which the award-giving body said could pave the way for new painkillers.
The breakthrough discoveries, achieved independently of one another, had launched intense research activities that led to "a rapid increase in our understanding of how our nervous system senses heat, cold and mechanical stimuli," the Nobel Assembly at Sweden's Karolinska Institute said.
The 2021 laureates were caught off guard by announcement of their joint win, with Patapoutian saying he received the news from his 92-year old father and Julius saying he got a call at 2 am. "I knew within about 15 minutes life was going to get pretty busy," Julius stated.
Patapoutian is credited for finding the cellular mechanism and the underlying gene that translates a mechanical force on our skin into an electric nerve signal. Julius’ findings on the skin's sense of temperature were based on how certain cells react to capsaicin, the molecule that makes chilli peppers spicy by simulating a false sensation of heat.
