Glossary Monoclonal Antibodies

laboratory-produced molecules that target specific cells or proteins

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are laboratory-produced molecules engineered to serve as substitute antibodies that can restore, enhance, or mimic the immune system's attack on cells. They are designed to bind to specific targets, such as proteins on the surface of cancer cells, making them useful in treating various diseases, including some types of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.

community Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???

in Research/Science 45 upvotes 10 months ago

The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.

community Androgen degraders for hair loss

61 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses androgen receptor degraders for hair loss, highlighting their potential advantages over traditional AR blockers like RU58841 and pyrilutamide. Concerns about the safety and cost of these treatments are also mentioned.

community Will PP405 be prohibitively expensive or will it be roughly the same as fin or min?

in Research/Science 8 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is expected to be more expensive than finasteride and minoxidil initially due to patent protection, but not as costly as life-saving medications like Ozempic. The price may decrease after the patent expires, but initially, it might be around $100 per month, making it potentially unaffordable for many.

community Finally, some real breakthroughs. A comparison of the two leading baldness treatments: PP405 versus ABS-201

106 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 and ABS-201 are promising treatments for male pattern baldness. PP405 shows rapid hair growth in human trials, while ABS-201 shows significant regrowth in animal studies but is still in early human trials.

community How is this even possible that there is no cure till now

in Technology 155 upvotes 5 months ago

There is no permanent cure for hair loss; treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants require ongoing use and are not universally effective. Genetic complexity and financial incentives for ongoing treatments hinder the development of a definitive cure.
