Two scientists, Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, won a big award called the Nobel Prize. They found out important things about tiny parts in our body called microRNAs. These microRNAs help decide what jobs different cells do. This helps our bodies work in many different ways. The prize they won is worth a lot of money.

The scientists studied little worms to learn about microRNAs. They saw how these tiny parts help the worms grow properly. MicroRNAs stop some genes from working, which helps make the right proteins. This is important for making sure our bodies have all the right parts. If microRNAs don't work right, it can make us sick.
