    medication that inhibits JAK enzymes to treat certain diseases

    Ruxolitinib, also known by the brand name Jakafi, is a medication that inhibits Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes, which are involved in the signaling pathways that regulate immune function and blood cell production. It is primarily used to treat conditions like myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera, and has shown promise in treating certain types of alopecia by modulating the immune response that attacks hair follicles.
