    YCT529 is a drug which acts as a potent and selective antagonist of the Vitamin A receptor retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR-α). [0]

    Yikes. I’d need pretty good evidence of safety to take something that does the opposite of tretinoin.

          No, I mean having their usual “donate” section pop up over the screen and make closing it annoying. That’s bullshit.

          Also, they’re fully funded, so it isn’t like it’s some kind of emergency.
