    September 6, 2011 u vol. 108 u no. 36 u 14707–15010 Cover image: Pictured are gastric epithelial cells infected with the gut bacteria, Helicobacter pylori, which are associated with an increased risk of gastric cancers. Isabella M. Toller et al. found that H. pylori infection damages the genome of host cells, causing breaks in both complementary strands of DNA. The damage triggered DNA repair responses, but pro- longed infection resulted in unrepaired DNA breaks and harmed host cell viability. The findings suggest a possible mechanism for the bacteria’s carcinogenic properties. See the article by Toller et al. on pages 14944–14949.

  • Nfap Policy Brief » October 2019
    NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AMERICAN POLICY NFAP POLICY BRIEF» OCTOBER 2019 IMMIGRANTS AND NOBEL PRIZES : 1901- 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Immigrants have been awarded 38%, or 36 of 95, of the Nobel Prizes won by Americans in Chemistry, Medicine and Physics since 2000.1 In 2019, the U.S. winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics (James Peebles) and one of the two American winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (M. Stanley Whittingham) were immigrants to the United States. This showing by immigrants in 2019 is consistent with recent history and illustrates the contributions of immigrants to America. In 2018, Gérard Mourou, an immigrant from France, won the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 2017, the sole American winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was an immigrant, Joachim Frank, a Columbia University professor born in Germany. Immigrant Rainer Weiss, who was born in Germany and came to the United States as a teenager, was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, sharing it with two other Americans, Kip S. Thorne and Barry C. Barish. In 2016, all 6 American winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and scientific fields were immigrants.

  • El Premio Nobel Alrededor Del ADN Nobel Prizes About DNA Recibido: Febrero 15 De 2016 | Revisado: Marzo 17 De 2016 | Aceptado: Mayo 12 De 2016
    El premio nobel alrededor del ADN Nobel prizes about DNA Recibido: febrero 15 de 2016 | Revisado: marzo 17 de 2016 | Aceptado: mayo 12 de 2016 1,2 DULCE DELGADIllO-ÁLVAREZ ABSTRACT The Nobel Prize is an international award given annually to individuals or institutions that have made investigations, discoveries or contributions to humanity in the immediate previous year or du- ring the course of their life. The awards were ins- tituted in 1895 as the last will of swedish chemist Alfred Nobel and began to be distributed in 1901. Two of the specialties in which the prize is awar- ded are Chemistry and Physiology or Medicine. The purpose of this brief review is to count those researchers who have earned this award in the dis- ciplines mentioned from 114 years ago and who- se work has orbited around the deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. We mention studies on its discovery, structure and molecular characterization of this and of the other molecules that in coordination with it turn it into the molecule responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information of all organisms that inhabit our planet. Key words: Nobel Prize, deoxyribonucleic acid, discovery, structure, molecular biology RESUMEN El Premio Nobel es un galardón internacional otorgado cada año a personas o instituciones que hayan realizado investigaciones, descubrimientos o contribuciones a la humanidad en el año inme- diato anterior o en el transcurso de su vida. Los premios se instituyeron en 1895 como última vo- luntad del químico sueco Alfred Nobel y comenza- ron a entregarse en 1901. Dos de las especialidades en las que el Premio es otorgado son en Quími- ca y en Fisiología o Medicina.

Sci China Life Sci 59, 93–96. doi: 10.1007/s11427-015-4989-y On October 7, 2015, the Nobel Prize Committee announced that the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry had been awarded jointly to Professors Paul Modrich, Tomas Lindahl and Aziz Sancar (Figure 1), each of whom made ground-breaking discoveries about the molecular mechanisms of DNA Re- pair. In one of life’s unpredictable turns, Paul was among the last individuals in his entire personal, professional and social network to learn of the Committee’s decision, be- cause Paul was very far “off-the-grid” at the time of the announcement. The news that he had been selected as a 2015 Nobel Laureate may have taken Paul by surprise, but Figure 1 (color online) Paul Modrich, Aziz Sancar and Tomas Lindahl share the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
