细胞的囊泡运输机制——浅释2013年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖

Mechanism of Vesicle Traffic: Commentary on the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

2013年诺贝尔医学生理学奖授予Randy Schekman、James Rothman和Thomas Südhof 3位科学家,以表彰他们在细胞的囊泡运输机制方面做出的重大贡献。本文将简述这3位科学家的获奖工作,以及这一发现如何扩展了人类对大自然的了解。

The 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine honours three scientists （Randy Schekman, James Rothman and Thomas Stidhot） who have solved the mystery of how the cell organizes its transport system. Here we brifely introduce their work on the vesicle traffic, and how their findings expand our understandings of nature.
