December 2009 in “Saengmyeong gwahag hoeji/Saengmyeong gwahak hoeji” This study observed that thymosin beta 4 and VEGF have similar expression patterns in various human tissues, suggesting a role in angiogenesis and organ function.
December 2009 in “생명과학회지” This study found that thymosin β4 is highly expressed in multiple human tissues and may play a role in organ function and angiogenesis through co-localization with VEGF.
January 2009 in “International Journal of Pathology and Clinical Medicine” This article reviews the role of VEGF in hair follicle growth and cycle modulation but concludes that its specific molecular mechanisms in hair follicle growth remain unclear.
