Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles—called lipid nanoparticles—has a big impact on how well our cells absorb them, paving the way to more efficient ...

AI has designed candidate drugs for antibiotic-resistant infections and genetic diseases. But efforts to incorporate AI into the design of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the revolutionary delivery ...

A new study suggests that apoB, a blood test that measures harmful cholesterol particles, is better than standard LDL ...

Scientists at UT Southwestern have uncovered a surprising new “master switch” that helps control how much cholesterol the liver sends into the bloodstream. The newly identified protein, HELZ2, works ...

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Since researchers first established the link between diet, cholesterol and heart disease in the 1950s, risk for heart disease has been ...

For decades, doctors have used blood cholesterol levels to check for early signs of heart disease. This method has saved lives by catching risk early, but it may not tell the whole story. New research ...

Researchers at The University of Queensland have developed a test that could change our understanding of cholesterol and its potential to ferry deadly cancer messages and life-saving medicines around ...

From nano-sunscreens to smart drug carriers, a new review shows how tiny particles could improve skin care and treatment, but only if researchers can overcome safety, stability, and regulatory hurdles ...
