The 2016 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine goes to
Yoshinori Ohsumi of Japan for discoveries about the secrets
of how cells can remain healthy by recycling waste.
He located genes that regulate the cellular "self eating"
process known as autophagy.
Dr Ohsumi's work is important because it helps explain
what goes wrong in a range of illnesses, from cancer to Parkinson's.
Errors in these genes cause disease.
Last year's prize was shared by three scientists
who developed treatments for malaria and other tropical diseases.
