TB-500
Also known as: Thymosin Beta-4, Tβ4
A naturally occurring peptide present in most human tissues. Plays a crucial role in tissue repair, cell migration, and wound healing.
Mechanism of Action
TB-500 promotes cell migration by binding to and sequestering actin, a protein essential for cell movement. It upregulates actin expression, promotes angiogenesis, reduces inflammation, and facilitates hair follicle stem cell migration for wound healing.
Research Summary
Research shows significant wound healing acceleration, cardiac tissue repair after heart attack in animal models, and anti-inflammatory effects. Studies demonstrate improved recovery from dermal wounds and muscle injuries. Human clinical trials ongoing for wound healing applications.
