One-Time Solution to Heart Disease? Eli Lilly’s Gene Therapy Says Yes | Vantage on Firstpost | 4K

Fast food like burgers, pizzas, shawarmas, and instant noodles may feel comforting, but they can quietly contribute to rising bad cholesterol and long-term heart risks. LDL cholesterol builds up silently in arteries, increasing the chance of heart disease without obvious warning signs. Scientists are now testing a futuristic one-time gene-editing treatment developed by Verve Therapeutics, a subsidiary of Eli Lilly, called VERVE-102. It targets the PCSK9 gene, which controls how the liver removes cholesterol. Using base editing and lipid nanoparticles, the therapy switches off this gene. Early trials show major LDL reductions, but safety concerns remain under further study.
