Researchers Identify Human Genes That Fight SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Researchers have determined which set of human genes help fight the infection that is known to cause COVID-19, the SARS-CoV-2. This information could be beneficial in helping researchers understand the factors that influence the ailment’s severity, in addition to assisting in the formulation of therapies for the said disease. The research was reported in the “Molecular Cell” journal. The genes, which were identified by researchers from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute are associated with the cells that fight viruses in the body, known as interferons. The lead author of the study, Prof. Sumit K. Chanda, stated that the…
