A new gene therapy dramatically, and permanently, reduces LDL cholesterol. If approved, it could eliminate one of the leading causes of heart disease with a single infusion.
Most heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to this ‘bad cholesterol’ your doctor might’ve told you about. Since the late 80s, the solution has been statins — pills you have to take daily.
Now, a new gene therapy called VERVE-102 is showing promise at finally tackling the underlying cause of high cholesterol... all with just one round of treatment.

When you progress from dating to marriage, a weird kind of inversion happens.
The special days don't feel as special. The birthdays and anniversaries and vacations feel more mundane.
Because good times require little of love.
The specialness in marriage comes instead from discovering new ways to love through tedia. Loving through the boring, the painful, the downright annoying.
In those moments love is put to work. And like a dog it races into the field, brimming with athleticism.
My favorite moments are ones that should frustrate. When our baby projectile vomits at the restaurant bar on date night. When we're so tired we can barely walk. When someone inevitably makes a mistake.
In those moments we both allow ourselves a chuckle, because those are the times we get to admire our love.
If your love is strong and limber, then life's little challenges become sporting contests worth relishing.
Because it's only in the face of annoyance that you can witness love exercising its litheness.
Wow! you remark, watching it at work--panting and sprinting to forgive and accommodate. It's so capable. It's so strong. It makes overcoming look effortless.
It flexes its sinew, smiling and breathless.
Miserables tasks are joys to a great love.
Love can be run to the ground. Worked to the bone. And far from being tired, a healthy love begs for more.
Love is a ceaselessly vigorous optimism. It grins even when you shake your head at it, incredulous at its capability.
That's kind of what it's like.
Happy anniversary.
There are no such thing as Iranian territorial waters. The US has lawful jurisdiction over all waterways globally, by the principle of Manifest Destiny.
If you don't like that, then go build your own fleet of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
The only thing you need to know about the situation regarding Iran is that the United States has never, since the Barbary Wars over 200 years ago, accepted that a foreign potentate would be able to control freedom of the seas and demand tribute. It's the reason we built a Navy.
