Will there be a new drug to fight high LDLs?

Very interesting story. Amazing also what drug companies can do when a new blockbuster is in the offing. How little they do when a useful drug makes them no money.

The discovery is fascinating. But I guess it is really true that money makes the world go round.

Interesting!  What makes me sad is the idea that the drug companies might be able to make drugs that could cure or at least help in a major way to alleviate some diseases, but if that cure was only a single dose they see no reason to make it.  What they want is a drug that helps just enough so that people have to take for life.

Sad but probably true.
