Overview:
Thymosin Beta-4, often referred to as TB-500, is a naturally occurring regenerative peptide derived from the thymus gland. It plays a vital role in cell migration, tissue remodeling, and repair. This peptide has been widely studied for its involvement in wound healing, angiogenesis, inflammation control, and tissue regeneration across multiple organ systems.
Mechanism of Action:
Thymosin Beta-4 exerts its effects primarily through regulation of actin polymerization, a process essential for cell structure and movement. By enhancing the availability of G-actin, it supports cell migration to sites of injury, facilitating tissue repair and regeneration. TB-500 also promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), reduces inflammatory cytokine activity, and protects cells from oxidative stress—making it an important subject in regenerative biology and wound-healing research.
Research Highlights:
Demonstrated acceleration of wound healing and recovery from muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries in preclinical models.
Shown to enhance angiogenesis and tissue remodeling.
Studied for its ability to reduce fibrosis and promote cardiac repair following ischemic injury.
Investigated for synergistic effects when combined with BPC-157 and other regenerative peptides.
