US researchers William Kaelin and Gregg Semenza and Britain's Peter Ratcliffe on Monday shared the Nobel Medicine Prize for discoveries on how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability, the Nobel Assembly said. "They established the basis for our understanding of how oxygen levels affect cellular metabolism and physiological function," the jury said. The three will share the Nobel prize sum of nine million Swedish kronor (about $914,000 or 833,000 euros). Hope to chat again tomorrow at the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physics. 11:15 What do you need to know about the Nobel Prize?
