While we would like to congratulate Section Head in Innate Immunity Jules Hoffmann on sharing this year’s Nobel Prize for Medicine, we are also saddened to learn of the death of co-laureate Ralph Steinman.
We hope that the Nobel Assembly will stand by their decision to award the prize to Steinman.
Update: I’m happy to report that “The decision made by the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet” remains unchanged.

That news article on the Rockefeller site that you link to suggests that the award will stand.
Link needs repair BTW (extra trailing double-quote mark).
Thanks for the editing, Richard.
Last I heard, the Nobel people were in a panic about it. I think they have to let it stand, though.
I am very shocked to hear the news of Steinman’s death. I hope the committee will award the prize to his family in recognition of his work.
