US scientists David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian win 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work on receptors for temperature and touch
The breakthrough discoveries, achieved independently of one another, had launched intense research activities that had led to "a rapid increase in our understanding of how our nervous system senses heat, cold and mechanical stimuli," it said.The prestigious Nobel prizes, for achievements in science, literature and peace, were created and funded in the will of Swedish dynamite inventor and businessman Alfred Nobel.
The Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, shared in equal parts this year by the two laureates, often lives in the shadow of the Nobels for literature and peace, and their sometimes more widely known recipients.
