Did you mean BMP antagonist?

Glossary BMP antagonist

substance that inhibits Bone Morphogenetic Protein activity

A BMP antagonist, also known as a Bone Morphogenetic Protein antagonist, is a substance that inhibits the activity of BMPs, which are proteins involved in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and development. By blocking BMP signaling, these antagonists can influence various biological processes, including bone formation and hair growth, making them relevant in medical research and treatments for conditions like alopecia and bone disorders.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.
