    US, China trials suggest a single nanodrug shot might stop bad cholesterol forever

    Imagine swapping your daily cholesterol pill for a single injection that keeps “bad” cholesterol under control for a year, a decade – or even a lifetime. Two clinical trials, one in the United States and another in China, suggest that this one-and-done approach could become a rea…
