Targeted Nanoparticle Technology Reduces Atherosclerosis

New anti-cholesterol treatment comprising of tiny nano-particles that act like miniature drones to deliver a knock-out punch to plaque buildup in the arteries has been tested by US scientists in lab mice. Scientists are intrigued by the possibility of a new way to attack atherosclerosis, which leads to heart attacks. Co-author Omid Farokhzad said, "This is the first example of a targeted nanoparticle technology that reduces atherosclerosis in an animal model. Years ...
