Exogenous Signaling Molecule Utility

Meaning

This clinical concept involves the strategic application and utilization of signaling molecules originating from outside the body, which are administered to influence or restore endogenous physiological communication pathways. These exogenous agents, often peptides, growth factors, or bioidentical hormones, are used to bypass dysfunctional endogenous production or enhance receptor-mediated responses. Assessing the utility involves determining the optimal dose, timing, and delivery method to maximize therapeutic benefit and minimize unintended systemic effects.
