Cyclodextrin-Appended Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles as Cholesterol-Mopping Agents

Cholesterol plays a crucial role in major cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and rare genetic disorders showing altered cholesterol metabolism. Cyclodextrins (CDs) have shown promising therapeutic efficacy based on their capacity to sequester and mobilise ch...
