The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2012 was awarded jointly to Sir John B. Gurdon, of the Gurdon Institute in Cambridge, UK, and Professor Shinya Yamanaka, of Kyoto University, Japan, for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent; both are published Wiley authors.
