Nobel Prize laureates pave the way for therapeutic advances in sepsis

The 2011 Nobel Prize Laureates in Physiology or Medicine.

Intracellular Clearance by Nobel Laureates.

Pulmonary complications often involve a modulation of innate immune responses [11–19] , and many studies have shown that surfactant proteins play a critical role in these processes [review in 20 ]. In this issue, Sylvia Ujma et al. [21] present an excellent review article, describing surfactant proteins A and B as being expressed also in many other parts of the body, such as the reproductive, u...

The Nobel Laureates’ Campaign Supporting GMOs

More than 800 million people suffer from hunger in the world. Using modern plant breeding methods to generate so-called GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), agricultural scientists have shown that crop yields and nutritional quality can be greatly improved. Many GMO varieties have been specifically developed with the aim of being resistant to pests, tolerant to drought and containing benefici...

The Nobel Memorial Prize for

improved the exposition, but they are in no way responsible for remaining flaws. Engle's footsteps range widely. His major contributions include early work on band-spectral regression, development and unification of the theory of model specification tests (particularly Lagrange multiplier tests), clarification of the meaning of econometric exogeneity and its relationship to causality, and his l...

Do Nobel Laureates Create Prize-Winning Networks? An Analysis of Collaborative Research in Physiology or Medicine

Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine who received the Prize between 1969 and 2011 are compared to a matched group of scientists to examine productivity, impact, coauthorship and international collaboration patterns embedded within research networks. After matching for research domain, h-index, and year of first of publication, we compare bibliometric statistics and network measures. We fin...
