A new breakthrough could change how high cholesterol is treated, offering a powerful alternative to traditional drugs.

Scientists shocked to find lab gloves may be skewing microplastics data
Scientists may have been unknowingly inflating microplastics pollution estimates, and the surprising source could be their own lab gloves.

In some cases, this led to wildly exaggerated results, forcing researchers to track down the unexpected culprit.
