Abstract
This year, the Lasker Foundation confers its Clinical Medical Research Award on Akira Endo for his isolation from fungi of statins, potent inhibitors of cholesterol synthesis in the liver. The introduction of statins to clinical practice has markedly reduced morbidity and mortality from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
