兩位美國麻州的研究科學家因爲發現一種名為microRNA的微小分子而獲得2024諾貝爾醫學獎,這種分子被發現可以控制植物和動物的細胞活動,而此發現已在全世界的研發單位激發起新型藥物研發極大關注。這一醫學科學界最負盛名的獎項是由哈佛醫學院遺傳學教授,兼Massachusetts General Hospital研究所成員的Dr. Gary Ruvkun,和麻州大學醫學院自然科學教授Dr. Victor Ambros共同獲得的。
Dr. Gary Ruvkun和Dr. Victor Ambros最初是於1993年在微小的圓形蠕蟲上進行的研究,隨著miRNA的重要性在被廣泛理解後,也將研究適用於所有多細胞生物體上。科學家們現在認為,大多數植物和動物基因組(包括人類基因組)包含超過1,000個miRNA,它們控制著涉及細胞活動和疾病的蛋白質編碼核酸。受利於miRNA在實驗性療法上許多研究成果的基礎,製藥研發公司如Alnylam Pharmaceuticals等,正在針對心臟病、癌症、和神經退行性疾病進行相關的基因研究與臨床試驗。
