MABs (Monoclonal Antibodies)
Monoclonal antibodies (MABs) are lab-engineered proteins designed to target specific molecules in the body. They mimic the natural antibodies our immune system produces to identify and bind to substances like viruses, bacteria, or cancer cells. By doing so, MABs can help treat diseases by blocking harmful processes or marking them for destruction. Used in treatments for cancer, immune disorders, and infections, they offer precise targeting with fewer side effects compared to traditional therapies. Essentially, MABs act as customized "guided missiles" against particular cells or substances involved in disease.
