El Premio Nobel de Medicina o Fisiología 2023.

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology.

Abstract

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology, awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, recognizes the fundamental discovery that the modification of bases in mRNA synthesized in vitro prevents inflammatory responses and increases protein production when it is introduced into the cell. Although these discoveries received little attention when they were published between 2005 and 2010, ten years later they made possible the rapid development of vaccines against COVID-19.
