- A study by the National Institutes of Health found that high cholesterol helps cancer spread.
- High cholesterol makes the nuclear membrane (outer layer of the nucleus) soft and weak.
- This allows cancer cells to move easily through tissues and spread to other parts.
- It also causes DNA damage, leading to more mutations and severe cancer.
- The LBR (Lamin B Receptor) protein increases cholesterol inside the nucleus in cancer cells.
- Lowering cholesterol or targeting LBR may help slow down cancer spread.
