Scientists have discovered a potential new treatment for familial hypercholesterolemia, inspired by signs seen in the Mona ...

Statins, a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs, have no effect on kidney function, a research team led by the University of Iowa has found.

Researchers from the University of Leicester, working with international collaborators, have unraveled a key mechanism by ...

The tryptophan pathway makes tryptophan, the cholesterol pathway makes cholesterol, and neither pathway makes side products. How has such perfection come about? Presumably, evolution—successive ...

A combination therapy of two drugs — a statin and a protein inhibitor — may help suppress the creation and growth of tumors ...

Background: Statins are generally well tolerated, but some patients discontinue therapy secondary to adverse effects. Dosing a statin (rosuvastatin) every other day (EOD) may provide significant ...

After mapping out the molecular pathway between PIN1 and cholesterol, the researchers developed an effective treatment regimen that largely halted tumor growth in their mouse model of cancer.
