Gene-Editing Research Aims to Address High Cholesterol Issues
Originally: Studies test whether gene-editing can fix high cholesterol. For now, take your medicine
Scientists are exploring gene-editing techniques to potentially provide a one-time solution for high cholesterol, which is a major contributor to heart disease. Early studies using CRISPR technology have shown promise in lowering LDL cholesterol levels in a small number of participants. However, the research is still in its infancy, and long-term safety and efficacy remain to be established. For now, traditional cholesterol-lowering medications continue to be the recommended approach.
