"Nobel-winning Physician Roger Guillemin Dies at 100 Amidst Fierce Rivalry"

Roger Guillemin, a Nobel Prize-winning physician known for his work on hormones produced by the brain, died at 100. His research led to the development of the birth control pill and treatments for prostate and other cancers. Guillemin engaged in a fierce scientific rivalry with Andrew V. Schally, with both men concealing data and refusing to share samples. Their work in neuroendocrinology challenged prevailing scientific views and uncovered the link between body and soul. Guillemin's discoveries had a significant impact on medicine, leading to the development of treatments for endocrine-related disorders.
