    TLDR Thymosin β4 and VEGF are important for blood vessel formation in many organs.
    The study investigated the expression patterns of Thymosin β4 and VEGF in various normal human tissues using tissue microarray analysis. Thymosin β4 was highly expressed in the liver, pancreas, ductal epithelium of the salivary gland, and heart, and moderately expressed in the skin, lung, spleen, lymph node, thymus, ureter, and blood endothelial cells in the lung and adrenal gland. VEGF expression generally co-localized with Thymosin β4 and was highly expressed in the pancreas, ureter, mammary gland, liver, esophagus, and blood endothelial cells in the lung and adrenal gland. The results suggested that Thymosin β4 plays an important role in various organs and may induce or maintain angiogenesis, similar to VEGF.

      community IGF-1 and Peptides? Miracle molecule waiting to be found

      in Research/Science  8 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments focusing on stimulating IGF-1 at the follicle level using growth-factor cocktails and engineered peptides, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-20, Thymosin-β4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It suggests that device-assisted delivery methods like microneedling may enhance effectiveness.

      The conversation discusses past and current hair loss treatments, with the user reflecting on expensive peptide treatments like topical Dutasteride, Latanoprost, and others, which were ultimately deemed less effective than oral Dutasteride and Minoxidil. The user now prefers the latter due to their cost-effectiveness and efficacy.
