Will a Citation Laureate take the stage in Stokholm this year?
据汤森·路透（Thomson Reuters）IP与科学业务网站（IP & Science business of Thomson Reuters）2013年9月25日的报道, 公布了汤森·路透2013年引文奖的获得者名单，因为自2002年以来，根据引文情况，183名引文奖获得者中已经有27人获得诺贝尔奖。今年,值得注意是在汤森·路透列表的提名中包括Francois Englert和Peter W. Higgs，因为他们在物理学领域内对于Brout-Englert-Higgs玻色子粒子的预测；在经济学领域, Sam Peltzman和Richard A. Posner因为他们对经济理论规则的扩展工作。生物·医学领域的提名者包括Adrian P. Bird, Howard Cedar和Aharon Razin是因为他们对有关DNA甲基化和基因表达的发现。化学提名包括M.G. Finn, Valery V. Fokin和K. Barry Sharpless，是因为他们对模块化点击化学的发展。如果K. Barry Sharpless他们今年获得诺贝尔化学奖，那么对K. Barry Sharpless来说就是第二次获得诺贝尔化学奖，因为他因手性型催化氧化反应而赢得了2001年诺贝尔化学奖。更多预测结果见下表，究竟花落谁家，让我们拭目以待。:

This year’s Citation Laureates in Physiology or Medicine are:
University of Edinburgh geneticist Adrian Bird and Hebrew University of Jerusalem researchersHoward Cedar and Aharon Razin for “for fundamental discoveries concerning DNA methylation and gene expression.” Cedar and Razin, who have collaborated for the last 30 years, were the first to explain how DNA methylation functions in turning on or off gene expression, helping give birth to the study of epigenetic regulation. Bird extended this work by elucidating two different types of methylation.
University of Michigan biochemist Daniel Klionsky, University of Tokyo researcher Noboru Mizushima, and Tokyo Institute of Technology scientist Yoshinori Ohsumi for “for elucidating the molecular mechanisms and physiological function of autophagy.” Ohsumi and Mizushima were two of the first researchers to catalog the proteins involved in autophagy pathways in yeast, and Klionski studies autophagy in mitochondria. Klionski helped developed the understanding that autophagy was more an essential cellular function then a simple garbage disposal system for worn out cell components.
Dennis Slamon, a clinical researcher from the University of California, Los Angeles, “for pioneering research identifying the HER-2/neu oncogene, leading to more effective cancer therapy.” Slamon, along with his UCLA colleagues, discovered a monoclonal antibody that blocks HER-2, an aberrant protein found in some women with breast cancer. That antibody would eventually become the drug herceptin, which transformed HER-2-positive breast cancers from death sentences to manageable diseases.
This year’s Citation Laureates in Chemistry include:
Paul Alivisatos, Director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Northwestern University chemist Chad Mirkin, and New York University chemist, Nadrian Seeman “for contributions to DNA nanotechnology.”
University of California, Berkeley researcher Bruce Ames “for the invention of the Ames test of mutagenicity.”
