Sanford Burnham Prebys scientists offer words of warning on risks of high fat to liver and heart health

Sanford Burnham Prebys scientists offer words of warning on risks of high fat to liver and heart health Karen Ocorr, an assistant professor at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute in La Jolla, uses fruit flies to look at genes that contribute to heart disease. (Courtesy) It’s common knowledge that eating well and exercising are precursors to a healthy life and seemingly the solution for many ailments. That’s why the No. 1 New Year’s resolution is to lose weight, eat better and/or exercise more.

Previous Next Newswise LA JOLLA, CALIF. – Jan 12, 2020 – Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute have identified the sensor in human lungs that detects SARS-CoV-2 and signals that it’s time to mount an antiviral response. The study, published today in Cell Reports, provides insights into the molecular basis of severe disease and may enable new strategies for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19.  “Our research has shown that MDA-5 is the immune cop that’s tasked to keep an eye out for SARS-CoV-2 and call for back-up,” says Sumit Chanda, Ph.D., director of the Immunity and Pathogenesis Program at Sanford Burnham Prebys and senior author of the study. “MDA-5 recognizes replicating viruses in lung cells and activate

First San Diegans get Moderna vaccine, with scientists urging caution, not panic, over new COVID strain

While San Diego health care workers rolled up their sleeves for Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday, local scientists stressed that a new strain of the virus likely won’t outwit current vaccines. That’s good news for Dr. Caitlin Breen, a pediatric resident who got her shot Tuesday morning at Rady Children’s Hospital. A week ago, Breen found out that she’d cared for a woman in labor who later tested positive for the coronavirus. “It’s more stressful thinking about, ‘Well, how many other patients did I see right after her?’” she said. Receiving the vaccine could help allay those concerns. Moderna’s vaccine is nearly 95 percent effective in preventing people from getting sick with COVID-19, and while researchers aren’t certain the vaccine keeps you from infecting others, most say it likely lowers those odds.
