Also: Thymosin Beta-4 fragment, Tβ4
🧬Thymosin Beta-4 FragmentUpregulates actin for cell migration and wound healing. Reduces inflammation, encourages new blood vessel growth, and supports stem cell maturation for tissue repair.
Malinda et al. demonstrate Tβ4 promotes wound healing via enhanced reepithelialization, collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and keratinocyte migration in animal models.
preclinicalSmart et al. (Nature) show Tβ4 activates endogenous cardiac progenitor cells, initiating myocardial and vascular regeneration after systemic administration in mice.
preclinicalPhase I clinical trial demonstrates recombinant Tβ4 is well-tolerated at multiple IV doses in healthy volunteers, with no dose-limiting toxicities or serious adverse events.
moderateTβ4 accelerates dermal healing in normal, diabetic, steroid-treated, and aged animal models. Phase 2 results show modest efficacy in venous stasis and pressure ulcers.
moderateWei et al. show Tβ4 reduces scar formation post-myocardial infarction by inhibiting ROCK1 signaling, promoting neovascularization, and activating cardioprotective pathways.
preclinicalResearch-only; well-tolerated in Phase I/II trials. Not FDA-approved for systemic use.
