    GlossaryBotulinum Toxin Type B (Neurobloc)

    neurotoxin used to treat muscle overactivity and reduce wrinkles

    Botulinum Toxin Type B, also known as Myobloc or Neurobloc, is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction, thereby causing temporary muscle paralysis. This toxin is used medically to treat conditions involving muscle overactivity, such as cervical dystonia, and cosmetically to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

      community Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy?

      in Research/Science 2 weeks ago
      Blocking DHT is not a cure for hair loss; instead, altering how scalp follicles respond to DHT might be more effective. Current treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil are temporary solutions, and future approaches may involve gene therapy and bioengineering to change follicle behavior.
