You get free gifts, we make world greener

Hello GreenZoners,

it is official – we know who won this year’s Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. Tomorrow the physics Nobel will be announced, on Wednesday – chemistry.  Unfortunatelly, there is no special Nobel Prize for being green – that is why GreenZoner.com didn’t get this award yet;). Nobel Committee remember sometimes about environment – for example Al Gore and Intergovernmental Panel on Climat Change get Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

What should we know about award announced today?

James Rothman of Yale University; Randy Schekman of the University of California, Berkeley; and Thomas Südhof of Stanford University earned the award “for their discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic, a major transport system in our cells,” according to the announcement from the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

What does it mean?

Cellural transport is really important – mistakes in this systems can cause a variety of diseases—including diabetes and neurological and immunological disorders.

Work of those scientists has not yet led to any new drugs or therapies, but it has helped others develop diagnostic tests. Thanks to their research we know more about human body – that’s important step on the way to other discoveries.

Good job, guys;).
