"Today it is teams that win,"
health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin said after three Americans won
the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Monday for their
discoveries about the body's daily 'circadian' rhythms.
Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young won the
9-million-kronor ($1.1 million) prize for their work on
finding genetic mechanisms behind circadian rhythms - which
adapt the workings of the body to different phases of the day,
influencing sleep, behavior, hormone levels, body temperature
and metabolism.
