Scientists are rethinking how to treat a widespread genetic cholesterol disorder by targeting particle production instead of ...

Study shows how a cell-signaling receptor helps prostate cancer cells accumulate cholesterol, a process linked to tumor growth and treatment resistance. Texas A&M University Researchers at Texas A&M ...

When the amount of cholesterol in the blood is too high, hypercholesterolemia can develop, causing serious damage to the arteries and cardiovascular health. Now, a study led by the University of ...

Two UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a protein that plays a key role in controlling the liver's release of cholesterol-carrying lipoproteins into the bloodstream, a discovery ...

Researchers at Texas A&M Health have identified a molecular mechanism that increases cholesterol levels inside prostate cancer cells—an important process that may help explain how some tumors progress ...

Hyperthermia, a cancer treatment using controlled heat to kill tumor cells, shows promise but faces limitations due to some tumor cells' unexpected heat resistance. Researchers from Japan have now ...

They work by turning down the activity of HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme our cells use to build new cholesterol molecules. Unfortunately, statins do cross the blood-brain barrier and enter brain cells, ...
