    GlossaryIndirect Immunofluorescence

    technique using fluorescent-tagged antibodies to detect specific proteins

    Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF) is a laboratory technique used to detect specific antibodies or antigens in a sample. It involves applying a primary antibody to the target antigen, followed by a secondary antibody that is tagged with a fluorescent dye. When viewed under a fluorescence microscope, the areas where the antibodies have bound will glow, allowing researchers to visualize the presence and location of the target molecules. This method is widely used in medical diagnostics and research, including the study of autoimmune diseases and infections.

      community Pyrilutamide ,the molecule’s true nature

      in Research  302 upvotes 5 months ago
      Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgen receptors. The 1% concentration is more effective than the 0.5%, but the latter may suffice for mild hair loss; the drug is considered a good option for those avoiding 5AR blockers due to side effects.

      The conversation is about seeking shampoos that help with hair loss or hair thickening without ketoconazole, suggesting alternatives like minoxidil, finasteride, or stemoxydine. One reply suggests that most hair loss shampoos don't work as claimed.
