#CERNScienceGateway turns one year old 🎉 #OnThisDay exactly one year ago, CERN inaugurated its first science centre for education and outreach. During its first year of operation, Science Gateway welcomed 385’929 visitors. From public events and science shows, to hands-on experiments and exhibitions, Science Gateway has something for everyone, from ages five and up. It is open six days a week (Tuesday – Sunday) with activities running from 9.00 to 17.00 throughout the year. Plan your visit: visit.cern/

MicroRNA genes have evolved and expanded within the genomes of multicellular organisms for over 500 million years. Today, we know that there are more than a thousand genes for different microRNAs in humans, and that gene regulation by microRNA – discovered by this year’s medicine laureates – is universal among multicellular organisms. #NobelPrize

The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine focuses on the discovery of a vital regulatory mechanism used in cells to control gene activity. Genetic information flows from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA), via a process called transcription, and then on to the cellular machinery for protein production. There, mRNAs are translated so that proteins are made according to the genetic instructions stored in DNA. Since the mid-20th century, several of the most fundamental scientific discoveries have explained how these processes work. In 1993, this year's Nobel Prize laureates published unexpected findings describing a new level of gene regulation, which turned out to be highly significant and conserved throughout evolution. They discovered microRNA, a new class of tiny RNA molecules that play a crucial role in gene regulation. Read more: bit.ly/4dlPE6f
