The Spin

Narrative A

Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun's remarkable discovery of microRNA rightly earned them this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine. The two scientists have uncovered a new level of understanding in the development and function of multicellular organisms, including humans, with the potential to help further research about cancer and other diseases.

Narrative B

While there are multiple microRNA studies aimed at treating cancer and other diseases, any potential applications are far away. This discovery is an important step, but as cancer rates continue to rise, the best approach is to focus on disease prevention strategies. Regrettably, treatment alone will never be enough.
