Bioregulators

Meaning

Bioregulators are naturally occurring, short-chain peptides or other low molecular weight compounds that exert highly specific, homeostatic effects on cells and tissues. These substances modulate physiological processes, often influencing gene expression and protein synthesis to restore or maintain optimal cellular function within specific organs or systems. They differ from classical hormones in their more targeted and localized actions, operating at a fundamental level of biological control.
