One CRISPR treatment cut “bad” cholesterol in half for a full year
A new CRISPR therapy has shown promising results in reducing "bad" cholesterol levels in patients with lipid disorders, cutting the levels nearly in half for a full year. The treatment also reduced triglyceride levels by nearly half in some patients. These reductions were achieved after a single dose.
Why it's good news: It offers hope for a potential new treatment option for people struggling with high cholesterol and related health issues.
