Abstract

The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institute has decided to award The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2009 jointly to Elizabeth H. Blackburn, Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak for the discovery of "how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase". This discovery had major impacts within the scientific community and led to intense research in this field. All the studies performed are now the bases for future investigations and stimulate the development of potential new therapies.

摘要

卡罗林斯卡学院诺贝尔大会决定，将 2009 年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予伊丽莎白·布莱克本、卡罗尔·格雷德和杰克·绍斯塔克，以表彰他们发现“染色体端粒和端粒酶是如何保护染色体的”。这一发现对科学界产生了重大影响，并促使该领域的研究蓬勃发展。目前所有的研究都为未来的研究提供了基础，并激发了潜在新疗法的开发。
