Here we review the mechanisms by which Thymosin beta4 (Tbeta4) regulates angiogenesis, its role in processes, such as wound healing and tumour progression and we discuss in more detail the role of Tbeta4 in the cardiovascular system and significant recent findings implicating Tbeta4 as a potential therapeutic agent for ischaemic heart disease.
在此,我们综述胸腺素β4(Tβ4)调节血管生成的机制、其在伤口愈合和肿瘤进展等过程中的作用,并更详细地讨论Tβ4在心血管系统中的作用以及近期的重要发现,这些发现表明Tβ4可能是缺血性心脏病的一种潜在治疗药物。
