Research by scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that a type of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that is produced by the intestine plays a previously unknown role ...

High-expressing avian cell line combined with a patented vector system will be used. TransGenRx has agreed to produce protein-based therapeutics for Esperion Therapeutics to use in its research ...

Researchers have identified tiny segments of RNA that may play an important role in the body's regulation of cholesterol and lipids. Their study found that the miR-33 familyof microRNAs suppress a ...

A high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subspecies produced by small intestine, which potently shields the endotoxicity of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), may protect against gut-derived liver injury, ...

Research in mice suggests that the liver may produce most of the body's "good" cholesterol, an unexpected finding that might one day help scientists develop new treatments to raise levels of this ...

The burden of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease remains high despite currently available optimum medical therapy. To address this substantial residual risk, the development of novel therapies ...

Bummer alert: Aortic aneurysms, a dangerous swelling of the aorta, affect 1 to 2 percent of women and kill around 13,000 Americans each year, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute ...

The Fountain of Youth may be fiction, but there really is a magic gene pool in northern Italy. A few decades ago, researchers discovered that, despite unhealthy cholesterol levels, 40 inhabitants of ...
