- Cellular lipid membranes act as barriers against viral infections and can also serve as interaction points for viruses, with lipid rafts playing a crucial role in the viral life cycle.
- The enzyme PCSK9 is important for maintaining cholesterol levels and has become a target for therapeutic interventions, such as FDA-approved inhibitors like inclisiran and evolocumab, which lower LDL cholesterol levels.
- Recent studies suggest that inhibiting PCSK9 may not only help with cholesterol management in HIV-positive patients but could also have protective effects against various viruses, including hepatitis C, dengue, and possibly SARS-CoV-2, highlighting its potential as a novel treatment approach.
