Article certainly piques my curiosity, unfortunately the paywall it's behind impedes getting the whole story. How often have we seen "breakthroughs" fail to live up to expectations, in this case not yet enough info to have any idea how it's likely to turn out. An interesting side-note here is that cholesterol itself has "detergent-like" properties similar to the cyclodextrin agent. That is, both molecules have hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends, which enables stabilizing lipid droplets floating in an aqueous medium like the bloodstream. I suppose cyclodextrin properties will vary with molecular weight and conformation, but never would have guessed it would have the basic characteristics described. Always amazes me where discoveries come from, goes to show it isn't always high-cost, specialized research that leads the way.
