IGF1 Signaling Modulation

Meaning

IGF1 Signaling Modulation refers to the clinical and pharmacological manipulation of the signaling cascade initiated by Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), a peptide hormone critical for cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation in various tissues. This modulation is strategically employed to influence anabolic processes, such as muscle and bone accretion, or to manage aspects of cellular longevity and metabolic function. Precise control of this pathway is essential, as dysregulated signaling can contribute to both degenerative conditions and oncogenesis.
