Results from this study1

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured1

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    In pressure ulcer tissue, Tβ4 showed higher relative levels in adjacent dermis and maturing areas of the wound bed.

    In plain wordsIn tissue from pressure ulcers, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 was higher in surrounding skin and in healing areas of the wound.

    Summary · context
    We describe the results of a pilot study that applies matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry technology for direct tissue analysis to evaluate proteomic signatures ranging from 2 to 20 kDa and phospholipids from 300-1,200 Da in focal regions within the wound microenvironment.

    This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
