GlossaryAntiproliferative

substance that inhibits cell growth and multiplication

Antiproliferative refers to a substance or treatment that inhibits the growth and multiplication of cells. In the context of hair and alopecia, antiproliferative agents might be used to slow down the rapid cell division that can contribute to certain types of hair loss or scalp conditions. For professionals, these agents are crucial in managing diseases characterized by excessive cell proliferation, such as cancer or psoriasis.
