Nobel Prize in Medicine Goes To 3 Scientists For Discovering How Cells Use Oxygen (www.cbc.ca) 10

Dave Knott writes: Two Americans and a British scientist won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine on Monday for discovering details of how the body's cells sense and react to low oxygen levels, providing a foothold for developing new treatments for anemia, cancer and other diseases. Drs. William G. Kaelin Jr., of Harvard University and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Gregg L. Semenza, of Johns Hopkins University, and Peter J. Ratcliffe, at the Francis Crick Institute and Oxford University, won the prize. They "revealed the mechanism for one of life's most essential adaptive processes," the Nobel committee said.
