The Nobel Prize-winning Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini celebrated her 100th birthday this spring.
Sandy Sand wrote a tribute article:
"At 100, Levi-Montalcini said her mind is sharper now than it was when she was 20.
Her experiments led to identification of the growth factor of neuronal cells (nerve growth factor, also known as NGF) for which she and American Stanley Cohen shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1986, when Levi-Montalcini was 77."
