Researchers also found that a combination therapy of two drugs — including a statin already used for lowering cholesterol in humans — disrupts this pathway, suppressing the creation of cancer ...

Our aim was to evaluate the changes of cholesterol metabolism induced by malabsorptive and restrictive surgery independent of weight loss. Results—Subjects had similar values at baseline.

A combination therapy of two drugs — a statin and a protein inhibitor — may help suppress the creation and growth of tumors in bladder cancer, a new study finds.

After mapping out the molecular pathway between PIN1 and cholesterol, the researchers developed an effective treatment regimen that largely halted tumor growth in their mouse model of cancer.
