Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun win the Nobel Prize in Medicine for the discovery

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to two American scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their work on microRNA. The Nobel Prize Committee in Sweden praised the groundbreaking work of the American biologists, which it said revealed an entirely new dimension of gene regulation.

Their work helps explain how our genes work inside the human body and how this creates the different tissues of the human body.

The 2024 Nobel Prize in physics will be announced on Tuesday, followed by the chemistry prize on Wednesday.
