In oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines, thymosin beta‑4 gene expression was among 28 highly expressed genes common to both metastatic cell lines.
In plain wordsIn lab-grown oral cancer cell lines, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 gene was highly active in both spread-type (metastatic) lines.

Two pairs of cell lines derived from the primary tumors and lymph node metastases of the same two patients were used to obtain microarray-based gene expression profiles.
This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
