Huge news in the medical world! Scientists have identified an enzyme called IDO1 that acts like a switch for cholesterol regulation. When this enzyme is "turned off," our immune cells regain their power to soak up and clear out excess cholesterol.
Combined with new CRISPR gene-editing trials that permanently silence the PCSK9 gene in the liver, we are looking at a future where high cholesterol is "fixed" once, rather than managed forever.
