Who knew that a little worm would be so important for scientific progress?

The roundworm C. elegans can be connected with many Nobel Prizes. In 1986, medicine laureate Robert Horvitz used the roundworm to identify two of the genes needed for programmed cell death to occur.

The 2024 medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun also used C. elegans to discover microRNA, a new class of tiny RNA molecules that play a crucial role in gene regulation. Their groundbreaking discovery revealed a completely new principle of gene regulation. This turned out to be essential for multicellular organisms, including humans.
