 Yamanaka Shinya  山中伸弥   人工多能性幹細胞（iPS細胞）で ノーベル生理学・医学賞 山中伸弥  1962年9月4日～  64歳 大阪府枚岡（ひらおか）市 ★　★　★　★　★　★　★　★ Yamanaka Shinya is a famous Japanese scientist.   He was born in Osaka in 1962. He first trained to become an orthopedic doctor（整形外科医）.   He wanted to help injured patients, but he decided to become a researcher to cure difficult diseases. In 2006, he succeeded in creating iPS cells from mouse skin cells.   Just one year later, in 2007, his team made human iPS cells. "iPS cells" stands for induced pluripotent stem cells（誘導多能性幹細胞。）.   They are special "master cells" created by adding four specific genes（遺伝子） into ordinary body cells.   iPS cells can grow into almost any type of cell in our body.   They can turn into heart, nerve, retina, liver, or muscle cells. He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology（生理学） or Medicine in 2012.   He received the prize together with British scientist ...

Kitagawa Susumu  北川進  金属有機構造体（MOF  モフ）でノーベル化学賞 北川 進 ・1951年7月4日  京都府四条河原町～  （75歳） ★　★　★　★　★　★　★　★ Kitagawa Susumu is a famous Japanese chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2025. He is highly praised for developing new materials called MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks) . MOFs are special materials made by joining metal ions and organic molecules together. They look like tiny "jungle gyms" or scaffolding made of molecules, creating a hollow 3D network. Because of this structure, MOFs have countless nanoscale microscopic holes (pores) inside them. These tiny holes can act like a sponge to trap, store, or separate various gases . They can capture carbon dioxide (CO2) to help fight global warming, or safely store hydrogen for green energy. They can even collect water from dry desert air to create drinking water. Before Kitagawa's work, many people thought these porous materials would just collapse, but he proved they can be stable and flexible. K...
