December 2009 in “The International Journal of Developmental Biology” Too much thymosin beta4 causes weird teeth and more hair growth in mice.
53 citations,
September 2007 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences” The study found that thymosin beta 4, a 43-amino-acid molecule, promoted hair growth in various rat and mice models, including a transgenic mouse overexpressing thymosin beta 4. The mechanism by which thymosin beta 4 facilitated hair growth involved the promotion of follicle stem cell growth, migration, differentiation, and protease production. These findings suggested that thymosin beta 4 played a significant role in hair growth through its influence on stem cell activities.
41 citations,
January 2007 in “Journal of Korean Medical Science” Minoxidil and ATRA together boost hair growth more effectively than minoxidil alone.
