The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for their groundbreaking discoveries on peripheral immune tolerance. Their work led to the identification of regulatory T cells, which prevent immune cells from mistakenly attacking the body’s own tissues.
This discovery has transformed our understanding of the immune system and laid the foundation for new therapies in autoimmune diseases, allergies, and organ transplantation. Learn more about how these scientists changed the future of immunology.
