Abstract

The 2019 Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology was assigned to three prestigious physician-scientists, Gregg L. Semenza, William G. Kaelin, and Peter J. Ratcliffe, who clarified the molecular mechanisms of hypoxia adaptation. This viewpoint traces their fundamental findings, which have paved the way for the development of innovative drugs for a wide range of common diseases, including cancer and anemia.
