Investigators have made a major step toward understanding some cancers and cardiovascular disease, with the discovery of a molecular mechanism by which the protein PCSK9 degrades the receptor of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). LDLs are the richest cholesterol particles in the bloodstream and can accumulate in the blood, leading to atherosclerosis and heart disease. The level…
