If cells were cars, the three pioneering cell biologists just named winners of the 2014 E.B. Wilson Medal, the ASCB's highest scientific honor, helped write the essential parts list. Bill Brinkley of Baylor, John Heuser of Washington University, St. Louis, and Peter Satir of Albert Einstein College of Medicine identified crucial pieces of the cytoskeleton, the cell's shape-shifting framework, and showed how these elements drive life at the cellular level.
