A novel gene-editing experiment seems to have permanently reduced LDL and triglyceride levels in monkeys.
What if a single injection could lower blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides — for a lifetime?
In the first gene-editing experiment of its kind, scientists have disabled two genes in monkeys that raise the risk for heart disease. Humans carry the genes as well, and the experiment has raised hopes that a leading killer may one day be tamed.
