Oil and water don't mix. But our aqueous blood is full of different types of hydrophobic lipids—including cholesterol. In order to travel via the bloodstream, those lipids need to hitch a ride on an ...

The anti-atherogenic effect of HDL may involve reversal of LDL transport, inhibition of lipoprotein oxidation, and anti-inflammatory endothelial activity, all of which can turn lipid-rich plaques into ...

Once upon a time, cholesterol was simple. This molecule, it was proclaimed, came in two varieties: an artery-clogging “bad” sort and an artery-clearing “good” one. The difference was not in the ...

Researchers have pinned down a molecular interaction between an apolipoprotein and a lipid transporter that's key to reverse cholesterol transport. Oil and water don't mix. But our aqueous blood is ...
