stanley cup e honoured Ohsumi for brilliant experiments in the 1990s on autophagy, the self-eating process with which cells break down and recycle some of their content. Disrupted autophagy has been linked to several diseas

Intense research is now ongoing to develop drugs that can target autophagy in various diseases, Karolinska said in its citation. Ohsumi, 71, from Fukuoka, Japan, is a professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. In 2012, Ohsumi won the Kyoto Prize, Japans highest private award for global achievement. Nobel committee secretary Thomas Perlmann said Ohsumi seemed surprised when he was informed he had won the Nobel Prize. The first thing he said was ahhh. He was very, very pleased, Perlmann said. Nobel judges often award discoveries made decades ago, to make sure they have stood the test of time. Though autophagy has been known for more than 50 years, its fundamental significance was only recognized after Ohsumis paradigm-shifting research on yeast in the 1990s, Karolinska said. Thanks to Ohsumi and others following in his footsteps, we now know that autophagy controls important physiological functions where cellular components need to be degraded and recycled, it said.
