Results from this study2

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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Thymosin beta-4 (human) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Thymosin beta-4 (human).

    In cashmere goats, Tβ4-overexpressing transgenic goats had a higher secondary to primary hair follicle ratio than wild type goats.

    In plain wordsCashmere goats bred to make extra Tβ4 had a higher ratio of secondary to primary hair follicles than normal goats.

    Summary
    Histological examination of skin tissue revealed that Tβ4-overexpressing, transgenic goats had a higher secondary to primary hair follicle (S/P) ratio compared to wild type goats.

    Summary · context
    Five transgenic cashmere goats were generated following somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).

    In cashmere goats, the higher ratio indicated that Tβ4-overexpressing goats had more secondary hair follicles.

    In plain wordsThe higher follicle ratio showed that cashmere goats bred to make extra Tβ4 had more secondary hair follicles.
