Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer worldwide, and atherosclerosis — the cholesterol-laden deposits inside our artery walls — is the lion’s share of cardiovascular diseases. Atherosclerosis begins when the particles that carry cholesterol amongst our cells occasionally get stuck in the artery wall, and the body sends in a sanitation worker called a macrophage to remove it. Initially this works fine, but damaged forms of cholesterol cause problems for the macrophage’s lysosome, and eventually it becomes poisoned and disabled, stuck in the artery wall and sending out signals to attract more macrophages to help it. But this just makes the situation worse! The buildup of these dysfunctional macrophages is the fundamental basis of atherosclerotic plaque, which increasingly disrupts the artery wall until it eventually bursts, triggering a blood clot that speeds down the blood vessels to the heart or the brain, triggering heart attacks and strokes.

By equipping our cells with enzymes that can break down the damaged cholesterol products in their lysosomes, we can restore the macrophages to health, allowing them to pack up and leave the artery wall — much like a patient leaving the hospital after an infection has finally cleared. With the dysfunctional macrophages finally out of the way, the inflammation at the site cools off, and the lesion in the artery can heal itself.
