Cell migration & angiogenesis

From actin reserve to cells that move and vessels that grow

Holding actin in reserve is only useful if it powers something. Thymosin beta-4’s repair reputation rests on two downstream jobs: helping cells migrate into damaged tissue, and helping new blood vessels (angiogenesis) grow to feed it. It does both through specific signaling, not just passive actin supply.

This unit follows the migration cycle, the ILK/PINCH/Akt survival arm, the one Rac1 result and where it comes from, the matrix remodeling that clears a path, and the honest size of the effect.
