Alexis Carrel was awarded with the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1912, in recognition of his work on vascular suture and the transplantation of blood vessels and organs. He laid the groundwork for transplant surgery, impossible for a long time because the immune system would reject alien organs. (Nobel Prize Outreach, Stockholm, 2024)
