wound healing & tissue repair

From Bench to Bandage

the wound healing research on thymosin beta-4 dates back to Malinda et al. 1999, which demonstrated accelerated dermal wound closure in aged mice. since then, animal studies have expanded to cover full-thickness skin wounds, corneal injuries, tendon and ligament damage, muscle tears, and bone fractures. the consistent finding across models is faster wound closure, increased collagen deposition, and reduced scar formation -- though all data remains preclinical.
