The Nobel Prize week is kicking off in Stockholm with the medicine award
Stockholm is hosting the start of this year's Nobel Prize week, with the medicine award being presented at the Karolinska Institute on Monday. Three scientists, Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Dr. Shimon Sakaguchi, won the prize for their groundbreaking research on the immune system's ability to distinguish between foreign pathogens and the body's own tissues, preventing autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus.
