Joseph Leonard Goldstein, the only son of Isadore E. and Fannie (Albert) Goldstein, was born on April 18, 1940, in Sumter, South Carolina.
During this process, Goldstein and Brown were able to follow the manner inwhich the cells obtained cholesterol, and identify the process of cholesterolextraction from the lipoproteins in the serum of the culture medium, specifically LDLs.
Goldstein's and Brown's research illuminating the activity of LDL receptors and their function in the management of cholesterol levels has had far-reaching effects.

 HHMI Bulletin: Ace of Hearts
Nobel Prize laureates Michael S. Brown and Joseph L. Goldstein still remember their reactions when they heard that Helen H. Hobbs was coming to work in their lab some 20 years ago.
For more than a decade before Hobbs joined their lab in the early 1980s, the two scientists had been studying familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), an inherited condition in which blood levels of LDL cholesterol are not only stratospheric but also resist any attempts at control through diet, medication, or lifestyle changes.
In the early 1970s, Brown and Goldstein had discovered that the disease stems from a defect in the LDL receptor—a protein on the surface of cells that snatches LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream and helps it into the cell.
