inhibitors (treatment)

Inhibitors are treatments that block or reduce the activity of specific molecules or enzymes involved in disease processes. By doing so, they can slow down or stop harmful activities in the body, such as uncontrolled cell growth in cancer or the action of pathogens in infections. Think of inhibitors as targeted brakes that prevent certain biological functions from becoming problematic, allowing for more precise control of disease progression. They are often used in medications to improve health outcomes while minimizing effects on the rest of the body.
