The 2017 Nobel Prize for medicine goes to 3 American scientists for their body clock studies. These three scientists are Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young. Their discoveries about the molecular mechanisms that control the body’s circadian rhythms is what won them the Nobel Prize.
Because fruit flies are one of the animals that have a very similar body clock system to humans the three scientists used them to isolate a gene that controls the rhythm of a living organism’s daily life. Their research helps to explain how plants, animals, andhumans adapt their biological clocks in order to become synchronized with the Earth’srevolutions.
