All eight Nobel scientists have connections with Elsevier, publishing journal articles and book chapters and serving as journal editors or members of editorial boards. In recognition of these extraordinary scholars and their contributions to science, we are pleased to provide free access on ScienceDirect to their most-cited ground-breaking research published in Elsevier journals. Kind regards, The ScienceDirect Team 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Dr. John Gurdon and Dr. Shinya Yamanaka share the award in physiology or medicine for discovering that mature, specialized cells can be reprogrammed into immature cells capable of developing into all tissues of the body. Their key individual research findings into so-called stem cells were separated by 50 years. Connections with Elsevier Sir John B. Gurdon Shinya Yamanaka Sir John B. Gurdon has published in a number of Elsevier journals, including : Cell, Current Biology and Mechanisms of Development. Shinya Yamanaka is on the editorial board of Cell and has also published extensively in: Current Biology, Genomics and Neuroscience Letters.

It is a world so fragile that mere observation can destroy the quantum particles under study. Connections with Elsevier Serge Haroche David J. Wineland Serge Haroche has published extensively in Optics Communications and the Journal of Luminescence. David J.
