Peptide-Based HDL as an Effective Delivery System for Lipophilic Drugs to Restrain Atherosclerosis Development

The pHDL system could potentially be applied for both imaging and therapy in animal models of AS. Benefits of pHDL-based drug delivery will potentially extend the application scenarios of bioactive chemicals from natural plants which are underutilized due to features like low bioavailability and facilitate the clinical translation of synthetic HDL therapies in HDL-associated disorders, including but not limited to AS.
