Molecular Messaging Agents

Meaning

Molecular messaging agents are a broad classification encompassing all endogenous and exogenous molecules, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, peptides, and growth factors, that facilitate communication between cells, tissues, and organ systems to coordinate physiological function. These agents are the fundamental vocabulary of the body’s internal communication network, orchestrating complex processes like metabolism, mood, and immune response. Clinical strategies often focus on optimizing the concentration and signaling integrity of these agents to restore systemic harmony.
