Analysis for Science Librarians of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine: The Life and Work of Yoshinori Ohsumi

Abstract: Autophagy is a cellular process of destruction and recycling. Cellular materials are broken down and recycled as needed, providing the body a way to remove unwanted material while also providing the means to create new needed items. The importance of this process and its possible role in numerous diseases is why Yoshinori Ohsumi has been awarded a 2016 Noble Prize. Ohsumi has been awarded the 2016 Nobel in Physiology or Medicine for his "discoveries of mechanisms for autophagy" and thus paving the way for the … Show more

“…With the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine being awarded to artemisinin and abamectin [6], medicinal products from natural resources have been proposed to worldwide attention again. Among them, spider venom is considered to be an ideal source of potentially active peptides due to the tremendous biochemical diversity of spider venom peptides in diverse species.…”

“…Those studies have helped to design and preparation of complex synthetic molecular machines. Due to this significant achievement, researchers were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (2016) by Sauvage, Stoddart, and Feringa [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Many other achievements regarding the field of SUPRAs, including Leigh, have also made a significant contribution to the development of very complex interlock arrangement, that highlighting the importance of SUPRAS interactions and the advancement in the structural complex molecules.…”

“…Theory involves trying to understand the causes and nature of health, disease, and illness, while the practical side of medicine is trying to make people healthy. Yoshinori Ohsumi, a Nobel laureate in 2016, discovered how cells recycle their content -a process known as autophagy (self-eating) (Gilman, 2017). This discovery adds itself as a theory to the public health field.…”
