Australia leads first trial of gene editing therapy to halve bad cholesterol

Researchers in Australia have led a first-in-human trial for a breakthrough gene-editing therapy that halves bad cholesterol and triglycerides in people with difficult-to-treat lipid disorders. The trial tested CTX310, a one-time CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing therapy that uses fat-based particles to carry CRISPR editing tools into the liver, switching off the ANGPTL3 gene. Turning off this gene lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, two blood fats linked to heart disease, according to a statement released Monday by Australia`s Monash University. The Victorian Heart Hospital, operated by Monash Health in partnership with Monash University, treated three of 15 patients aged 18-75 years with difficult-to-treat lipid disorders in phase 1 of the global trial conducted across Australia, N...

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Your home is under constant threat from the elements—but especially from water. From roof leaks to burst pipes—water damage is the second-most claimed loss on home insurance policies, just below “wind and hail.” In fact, there are way more losses due to water damage than fire.And the most troubling aspect of water damage is how silent it can be. You can have a leak for a long time before the damage becomes bad enough to notice. And even if you know you have a water leak somewhere, locating it can often be difficult because water can travel a long way from the source before making its presence known. That’s why you need these five kinds of leak detectors on hand, so you’ll know when a damaging water leak erupts, and be ...

Mona Singh reacts to the new casting parameters based on social media followers

A digital detox sounds like a wonderful idea to Mona Singh. While the actor has adopted the philosophy on screen in her Zee5 series, Thode Door Thode Paas — which revolves around a family going on a ‘digital fast’ — applying it off screen is a distant idea. If anything, she is advised the opposite. “My team tells me to be more active on social media. They drive me crazy, telling me, ‘This song is trending, make a reel on it,’” she laughs. The pressure doesn’t work on Singh, who views social media as a great platform to connect with her fans. That said, she is clear that documenting every moment of her day is not her style. “I’m not an influencer. I’m an actor, and I will stick to [acting]. It feels great to connect with fans through social media. You also get to know which show is worki...
