A recent study by Jing-hong Chen and colleagues on Nature applied machine learning alongside clinical and animal validations to repurpose non-traditional lipid-lowering drugs. Candidates like Argatroban and Levoxyl showed improved cholesterol profiles, underscoring a novel, efficient approach that bridges computational prediction with practical pharmacology.
