@the.biotech.breakdown: The FDA approved Hibsago (bepirovirsen), a new treatment that could help some people with chronic hepatitis B achieve a functional cure — potentially allowing them to stop long term treatment.

But there’s a catch: it doesn’t work for everyone, and a functional cure doesn’t necessarily mean the virus is completely eliminated. One breakthrough at a time.
