Highly individualized therapeutic regimens utilizing synthetic peptides, often mimicking or modulating endogenous signaling molecules, administered according to specific temporal and dosing schedules. These protocols are designed to elicit targeted physiological responses, such as enhanced GH release or improved tissue repair, based on individual biochemical assessment rather than generalized dosing. This represents a tailored pharmaceutical approach.
Origin
Derived from modern pharmacology and peptide chemistry, this term signifies a move away from broad-spectrum treatments toward highly specific molecular interventions. Precision dictates the clinical success of these short-chain amino acid sequences.
Mechanism
Peptides operate by selectively binding to specific cell surface receptors, initiating defined intracellular cascades with high specificity and low off-target effects compared to traditional small molecules. For example, a specific peptide might selectively amplify a signal in satellite cells for muscle repair without significantly altering systemic metabolism. The cadence of administration is crucial to align with the biological half-life and receptor downregulation kinetics of the target system.
