      <title>REP-0003 heals liver by reducing free hepatic cholesterol</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a genetic condition caused by mutations in the <em>LDLR</em> gene and characterized by severe hypercholesterolemia and premature cardiovascular disease. Repair Biotechnologies Inc. has developed REP-0003, a therapeutic based on the Cholesterol Degrading Platform (CDP) that degrades excessive intracellular free cholesterol into a non-toxic and excretable catabolite to safely reverse cholesterol-rich vulnerable plaque.]]>
