Receptor Density Mapping

Meaning

Receptor Density Mapping is a sophisticated analytical technique used in clinical research and advanced diagnostics to quantify the concentration and spatial distribution of specific hormone or neurotransmitter receptors on the surface or within target cells and tissues. Understanding the density of these receptors is critical because it dictates the tissue’s sensitivity and maximum response to circulating hormones, irrespective of the hormone’s absolute concentration. This mapping provides essential data for truly personalized endocrine and neurological therapies.
