(HealthNewsDigest.com) - LA JOLLA, CALIF. – April 16, 2021 – Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys have identified a set of human genes that fight SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes COVID-19. Knowing which genes help control viral infection can greatly assist researchers’ understanding of factors that affect disease severity and also suggest possible therapeutic options. The genes in question are related to interferons, the body’s frontline virus fighters. The study was published in the journal  “We wanted to gain a better understanding of the cellular response to SARS-CoV...

Summary Neuro-oncologist Ingo Mellinghoff first became intrigued by scientific questions regarding brain tumors while working in the lab of physician-scientist Charles Sawyers before both came to MSK. Now, Dr. Mellinghoff leads MSK’s Department of Neurology as it deploys innovative technologies to understand how these cancers develop and progress. When neuro-oncologist Ingo Mellinghoff was named Chair of Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Department of Neurology in October 2020, it marked the culmination of a career devoted to studying how cancer affects the brain. Dr. Mellinghoff previously ser...
