On Monday Oct. 5, 2009 Sweden’s Karolinska institute gave the 2009 Nobel Prize in medicine to Americans Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider and Jack Szostak. The institute says the trio was awarded “for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase.” Sources: http://www.star-telegram.com/news/photos/gallery/1661367.

Three American scientists who made key discoveries about how living cells age have received the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The winners are Elizabeth Blackburn of the University of California, San Francisco; Carol W. Greider of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore; and Jack Szostak of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The scientists all study telomeres — structures that act like caps on the ends of chromosomes and protect them when cells divide. Chromosomes are the long strands of DNA that contain a living Working in different labs, the scientists figured out how telomeres allow genes to be copied without losing any information, a process that delays the aging of cells. Each winner will receive one-third of the prize of about $1.4 million.
