Yoshinori Ohsumi wins Nobel prize in medicine for work on autophagy
Yoshinori Ohsumi, 71, will receive the prestigious 8m Swedish kronor (£718,000) award for uncovering “mechanisms for autophagy”, a fundamental process in cells that scientists believe can be harnessed to fight cancer and dementia.
Autophagy is the body’s internal recycling programme - scrap cell components are captured and the useful parts are stripped out to generate energy or build new cells. The process is crucial for preventing cancerous growths, warding off infection and, by maintaining a healthy metabolism, it helps protect against conditions like diabetes.
Dysfunctional autophagy has been linked to Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and a host of age-related disorders. Intense research is underway to develop drugs that can target autophagy to treat various diseases.

De acordo com o texto, classifique as frases a seguir em verdadeiras ou falsas e marque a sequência CORRETA:
I. ( ) Oshumi descobriu a cura para o câncer.
II. ( ) O mecanismo desvelado pelo estudioso apenas ratifica um processo natural do organismo sendo, portanto, de pouca relevância.
III. ( ) O cientista recebeu o prêmio nobel pelos estudos realizados acerca de processos que podem combater a demência.
IV. ( ) Os métodos utilizados pelo cientista são duvidosos, pois podem perpetuar infecções e diminuir a atividade metabólica.
