Shot in the arm (Anything that makes one feel encouraged)<\/b>: On the Medicine Nobel 2023<\/span><\/h2>\n

The success of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines picked the Nobel winners this year\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

All nominees for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine have path-breaking achievements to their credit, but often, the final choice of the winner might have a lot to do with the timing and the context. Katalin Karik\u00f3 and Drew Weissman would have thus been safe bets for their work that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. The 2023 Nobel announcement comes as no surprise, given that the benefits of the discovery are still keeping people alive and out of hospitals. It also <\/span>ticks all the boxes (to satisfy all of the apparent requirements for success)<\/b>: the Nobel prize for Medicine must be awarded for a discovery that would <\/span>confer (Grant a qualification, title, right, possession, etc.) <\/b>the \u2018greatest benefit on mankind\u2019 which mRNA undoubtedly did. This Nobel is also significant in that it recognises the contribution of a woman of science: 13 women have now won the Nobel Prize for Medicine (out of 225 awarded); and only 62 women have won any Nobel Prize (against 894 men) so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best outcomes <\/span>inevitably (in a way that cannot be avoided) <\/b>emerge from <\/span>intersectoral collaborations (collective actions involving more than one specialised agency, performing different roles for a common purpose)<\/b>, and <\/span>steadfast (Marked by firm determination or resolution; not shakable) <\/b>scientific research conducted against all odds. Hungarian biochemist Katalin Karik\u00f3 became fascinated with mRNA when it was a mere possibility. In human cells, genetic information encoded in DNA is transferred to messenger RNA (mRNA) and this is then used as a template for protein production. Proteins are the main structural component of cells, and play a key role in growth and repair. During the 1980s, a method called in vitro transcription permitted the idea of using mRNA for vaccine and therapy to <\/span>take off (Get started or become successful)<\/b>, but enthusiasm to work on this flagged as several hurdles emerged, including challenges in delivery and <\/span>inflammatory (likely to cause very strong feelings of anger) <\/b>reactions. Undeterred, Karik\u00f3 kept on the course of developing methods to use mRNA for therapy, when she was an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She was then joined by <\/span>immunologist (One who treats health issues brought on by immune system problems) <\/b>Weissman, who was studying dendritic cells that have important functions in immune surveillance and activation of vaccine-induced immune responses. Over the years, by making base modifications to the mRNA they managed to ease delivery paths and get rid of the inflammatory reactions. An <\/span>inchoate (Only partly in existence; imperfectly formed) <\/b>idea was finally <\/span>teased (To arouse hope, desire, or curiosity without satisfying them) <\/b>into <\/span>fruition (the attainment or realization of something worked for or desired; fulfilment)<\/b>. This was in 2005, 15 years before the COVID-19 pandemic. But the time and context arrived in 2019, when scientists taught the mRNA vaccine to instruct human cells to make the S protein found on the surface of the COVID-19 virus. This causes the body to create antibodies which will fight the virus if the individual were to contract the infection. The rest, of course, is history.<\/span><\/p>\n
