STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Israelis Aaron Ciechanover and Avram Hershko and American Irwin Rose won the 2004 Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for discovering a key way cells destroy unwanted proteins - starting with a chemical "kiss of death."   When the process goes wrong, several hundred diseases can result, including cervical cancer and cystic fibrosis. So the work provides the basis for developing new therapies...
