Americans, German win Nobel medicine prize for discovery of cell transport system
• STOCKHOLM (AP) -- Americans James Rothman and Randy Schekman and German-born researcher Thomas Suedhof won the 2013 Nobel Prize in medicine on Monday for discoveries on how proteins and other materials are transported within cells.
• The Nobel committee said their research on "vesicle traffic" -- the transport system of our cells -- helped scientists understand how "cargo is delivered to the right place at the right time" inside cells.
• "Disturbances in this system have deleterious effects and contribute to conditions such as neurological diseases, diabetes and immunological disorders," the committee said.
• Rothman is a professor at Yale University while Schekman is at the University of California, Berkeley. Suedhof joined Stanford University in 2008.
