DESCRIPTION
No disorder appears to kill more people than atherosclerosis, the foremost cause of coronary artery disease and stroke. Formerly hopeful experimental treatments to fight it with "good cholesterol," or HDL, have failed. New research reapproaches HDL with carefully engineered nanoparticles in an organ-on-a-chip, in highly reproducible experiments in search of what does work. And if something does, high-throughput production will be ready.
