With a composition of 43 amino acids and a mass of 4.9 kDa, thymosin beta-4 plays a crucial role in cellular migration, proliferation, and differentiation by binding to the G-actin cytoskeleton. Its presence is particularly notable at wound sites, where it aids in the healing process. Platelets and macrophages, the initial responders during injury, release high concentrations of thymosin beta-4. Due to its mobilizing properties and its involvement in healing and angiogenesis, thymosin beta-4 has been extensively studied in both in vitro and in vivo models of various conditions, including cardiac injury caused by ischemia, stroke, ischemic limbs, liver fibrosis, and corneal injury. Researchers utilize both chemically-synthesized and recombinant forms of this peptide in their investigations. In a mouse
