Credit: Dotted Yeti 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 Molecular Cell. "We wanted to gain a better understanding of the cellular response to SARS-CoV...

How the Search for Covid-19 Treatments Faltered While Vaccines Sped Ahead Vaccine development exceeded everyone’s expectations. But the next few months will still bring many sick people — and doctors have woefully few drugs with which to treat them.

A handful of therapies — r...
