The Nobel Path of Cellular Proteins.

For one week every October, the world awaits the Nobel Prize announcements. While much publicity is focused on the laureates, the awards in the sciences also recognize high-impact fields of research. The 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine honored three scientists whose research defined the mechanisms by which cellular vesicles sort proteins to their final destinations. This research shaped a modern understanding of how protein sorting controls cellular identity and function.
