Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine. They were recognized “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance,” announced the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. Each will share 11 million Swedish kronor, about £871,400. “We reached only Sakaguchi,” said Nobel secretary Thomas Perlmann. The trio’s work explains how the immune system avoids attacking the body’s own tissues. T-cells, key white blood cells, defend against infections and cancer.
