Targeted Peptide Therapies

Meaning

Targeted peptide therapies are a class of therapeutic interventions utilizing short chains of amino acids (peptides) designed to interact with high specificity and affinity with particular receptors, enzymes, or signaling molecules in the body. These agents function as highly selective ligands, aiming to modulate specific physiological pathways, often mimicking or enhancing the action of endogenous hormones or growth factors. They represent a precision approach to pharmacological intervention with a focus on high-fidelity signaling.
