Tissue repair research
Thymosin β4
Published reviews characterise thymosin β4 as a naturally occurring protein that binds and holds the cell-scaffolding molecule actin, and report effects on cell migration and new blood-vessel growth in wound and heart-injury models.
What PubMed contains
Each figure links to the query that produced it. Where a count is zero, the published evidence of that kind was absent from the index at the retrieval date — a fact about the literature, not a judgement of ours.
