Scientists from the University of Leicester and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) have announced a major advance towards developing drugs to tackle dangerous, or ‘bad’, cholesterol in the body. They have filed two patents for developing targeted drugs that would act as a catalyst for lowering levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol. Two research papers published by the academics enhance the understanding of the regulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or “bad” cholesterol. LDL, the so-called “bad” cholesterol, is often linked to medical problems like heart disease, stroke and clogged arteries. |
