The prestigious Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2024 has been awarded to two American scientists, Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun. They have been recognized for their groundbreaking discovery of microRNA and its crucial role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

MicroRNA, a new class of tiny RNA molecules, plays a significant role in controlling gene activity after transcription.

This discovery has opened up new avenues for understanding gene regulation and has potential implications for treating various diseases, including cancer

The Nobel Assembly at Sweden's Karolinska Institute announced the award, highlighting the importance of this discovery in advancing the field of medicine

 Both Ambros and Ruvkun have made remarkable contributions to science, and their work is expected to have a lasting impact on medical research and treatment.
