Abstract

In recent years, the increase in available genetic information and a better understanding of the genetic bases of dyslipidemias has led to the identification of potential new avenues for therapies. Additionally, the development of new technologies has presented the key for developing novel therapeutic strategies targeting not only proteins (e.g., the monoclonal antibodies and vaccines) but also the transcripts (from antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to small interfering RNAs) or the genomic sequence (gene therapies). These pharmacological advances have led to successful therapeutic improvements, particularly in the cardiovascular arena because we are now able to treat rare, genetically driven, and previously untreatable conditions (e.g, familial hypertriglyceridemia or hyperchylomicronemia). In this review, the pre-clinical pharmacological development of the major biotechnological cholesterol lowering advances were discussed, describing facts, gaps, potential future steps forward, and therapeutic opportunities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
