Japanese scientist, Yoshinori Asumi, won the medicine Nobel in 2016

Swedish Nobel Academy announced the Nobel laureate 2016 in Physiology or Medicine. Yoshinori Asumi won this $ 930 thousand Award to discover the "autotrophy mechanisms". According to the definition of Karolinska Institute, autophagy is "basis the destruction and recycling of the cell". The Nobel Committee knows important the discovery of Professor Asumi that it has helped to the "recognition of many cellular processes such as mutation and infections that could be cause some diseases such as Parkinson's, diabetes, cancer and diseases of the nervous system". Autophagy is known since the 1960s, which means that cell packages its components in a membrane, and then this collection combines with cell recycling center (lysosome) to lysosome enzymes destroy these substances. This 71-year-old Japanese professor has identified a group of genes that had controlled the autophagy in yeast and after he showed a similar mechanism that exists in human cells. Professor Asumi discovery that was done in the early 90s, he changed the "research paradigm" to the Nobel Committee described and thanks to him, the "physiological processes for the destruction and recycling of cell components" were found.

This is the 107Amyn Nobel Prize and its first award was 1901 that was gifted to Emil von Behring for discover the diphtheria vaccine. Last year's winners were three scientists to find new treatment for malaria and tropical diseases.
