Brunkow, Ramsdell and Sakaguchi win 2025 Nobel medicine prize ⁣
⁣
“The body’s powerful immune system must be regulated, or it may attack our own organs.” ⁣
⁣
Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi have been awarded this year’s Nobel Prize Medicine for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance that prevents the ⁣
immune system from harming the body.⁣
⁣
"Their discoveries have laid the foundation for a new field of research and spurred the development of new treatments, for example for cancer and autoimmune diseases," the prize-awarding body added in a statement.⁣
⁣
The laureates identified so-called regulatory T cells, which act as the immune system's security guards that keep immune cells from attacking our own body, it said.⁣
⁣
Brunkow is senior programme manager at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, while Ramsdell is scientific adviser at Sonoma Biotherapeutics in San Francisco, which he co-founded. Sakaguchi is a professor at Osaka University in Japan.⁣
