    Glossary Inhibition

    process of slowing or preventing a biological reaction

    Inhibition refers to the process of slowing down or preventing a biological reaction or activity. In the context of hair and alopecia, inhibition might involve the suppression of certain enzymes or pathways that contribute to hair loss, thereby potentially promoting hair growth or preventing further hair thinning.
