New ScientistJUL 2023
Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun's remarkable discovery of microRNA earned them this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine. The two scientists have uncovered a new level of understanding in the development and function of multicellular organisms, including humans, with the potential to help further research about cancer and other diseases.
There's a 50% chance that there will be a breakthrough in the treatment of hard-to-treat cancers by at least the timeframe 2031-2036.
