How Cells Work
http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/cellular-microscopic/cell.htm
How does a cell's transportation system work? It's a fascinating question and one that has inspired the research of many scientists over the centuries. This week, three scientists based in the United States were awarded the Noble Prize in physiology or medicine for their work on that exact question. James E. Rotham, Randy W. Schekman, and Thomas C. Sudhof were honored for discovering a "fundamental process in cell physiology." Commenting on the award, Professor Mike Cousin of the University of Edinburgh noted that, "The significance of the work [relates to] how cells talk to each other." It was well known that a cell's molecules could be transported in membrane-bound sacs known as vesicles, but a mystery remained: how do these vesicles know how, when, and where to deliver their precious cargo? Needless to say, this important find has made possible a number of discoveries, such as the creation of a genetically engineered yeast designed to proceed large amounts of the world's insulin supply.
