AFCAT 1 2025 Exam – Awards and Honours 2024

Nobel Prizes 2024

The American biologists jointly received the prestigious award for their discovery of microRNA and its role in regulating gene expression after transcription. The Nobel Assembly said that their discovery is “proving to be fundamentally important for how organisms develop and function.” This year’s Nobel Prize was awarded to scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for discovering microRNA, a tiny molecule that plays a key role in regulating gene activity.

Even though all cells in our body have the same genes, different types of cells, like muscle and nerve cells, perform different functions. This is possible due to gene regulation, which allows cells to “switch on” only the genes they need. Ambros and Ruvkun’s discovery of microRNA revealed a new way this regulation happens.
