Gurdon, Yamanaka win Nobel medicine prize

'These discoveries have also provided new tools for scientists around the world and led to remarkable progress in many areas of medicine.' The medicine award was the first Nobel Prize to be announced this year. The physics award will be announced tomorrow, followed by chemistry on Wednesday, literature on Thursday and the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
The economics prize, which was not among the original awards, but was established by the Swedish central bank in 1968, will be announced on October 15. All prizes will be handed out on December 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel's death in 1896. Last year's medicine award to Canadian-born Ralph Steinman, American Bruce Beutler and French scientist Jules Hoffmann briefly created some confusion when it was announced that Steinman had died a few days earlier. Posthumous prizes
are normally not allowed, but the award was left unchanged since the judges were not aware of Steinman's death when they selected him as a winner. (AP)
