Scientists report that a new DNA-based treatment lowered bad cholesterol by nearly 50% after one injection targeting the ...

A new breakthrough could change how high cholesterol is treated, offering a powerful alternative to traditional drugs. Researchers have developed tiny DNA-based molecules that shut down PCSK9—a key ...

A single infusion of a CRISPR-based gene-editing therapy was associated with reductions in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in patients with hard-to-treat lipid disorders, according to results from a ...

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 30, 2025 – An international team led by a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientist has created a first-of-its-kind resource to identify those with a genetic risk for ...

Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how 'bad' cholesterol, known as low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol or LDL-C, builds up in the body. The researchers were able to show ...

An international team led by a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientist has created a first-of-its-kind resource to identify those with a genetic risk for elevated 'bad' cholesterol -- a ...

Why wasn’t I told? Those four words are ringing in my ears. I’m writing this after reading a Nature Medicine paper on berberine and its impact on LDL cholesterol (LDL-C). Specifically, it’s a landmark ...

Researchers used tiny DNA-based molecules to cut levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol by nearly 50% in animal models. This was ...

WASHINGTON — Scientists are testing an entirely new way to fight heart disease: a gene-editing treatment that might offer a one-time fix for high cholesterol. It’s very early stage research, tried in ...

A revolutionary gene-silencing technique has shown that a single treatment can dramatically lower LDL cholesterol levels for over a year—without permanently altering DNA. Could this be the future of ...
