**Beyond Bad Cholesterol: Scientists Uncover a Hidden Driver of Heart Disease**

By Chalmers University of Technology - Published on 28 October 2026

Protein patterns linked to TRL and Lp(a), two types of fat-carrying particles, suggest shared inflammatory pathways that could offer new targets for heart disease prevention. Lowering “bad” cholesterol substantially reduces the risk of a heart attack, yet some people still develop coronary heart disease after treatment brings their LDL cholesterol down to a recommended level.

**0 to 15 MPH in a Single Swipe: New Research Reveals How Ancient Giant Sea Monsters Ambushed Their Prey**

By Rutgers University - Published on 21 October 2026

Giant marine reptiles that dominated prehistoric oceans may have relied on surprisingly different hunting strategies. A giant marine reptile that lived during the age of dinosaurs may have reached speeds of roughly 15 miles per hour with a single powerful sweep of its tail. That estimate, calculated for an exceptionally large Tylosaurus, describes a brief [...]
