    Glossary Therapeutic Target

    specific molecule or pathway involved in disease for treatment

    A therapeutic target, also known as a treatment target, is a specific molecule or pathway in the body that is identified as playing a key role in a disease process. By focusing on this target, researchers and doctors can develop treatments that specifically interfere with the disease mechanism, potentially leading to more effective and precise therapies. For example, in the context of alopecia, a therapeutic target might be a particular protein or gene involved in hair follicle health and growth.
