This volumes features contributions on the latest advances in the
chemistry, biology and clinical applications of the thymosins from
leading scientists and clinicians working in the field. The use of
chemically defined and synthesized molecules, rather than crude or
partially purified extracts has enabled scientists working in this
field to acquire definitive information on the molecular biology,
immunology and potential clinical applications of this important
class of BRMs.
Paper in this volume cover a wide range of topics including:
advances in the structure, design, immunology and molecular biology
of thymosin alpha 1 (Tα1), prothymosin alpha (ProTα) and thymosin
beta 4 (Tβ4). an exploration of role of the thymosins in
cardioprotection, neuroplasticity, stem cells, wound healing,
inflammation and angiogenesisclinical applications of Tα1 and other
BRMsa look at the current status of translational trials with Tβ4
in areas of wound repair, cardiovascular disease, epidermolysis
bullosa and eye injuries.
The availability of synthetic thymosins enables both researchers
and clinicians to acquire definitive information on the immunology,
pharmacology and emerging clinical applications of Tα1 and Tβ4.
Clinicians will be particularly interested in the most recent
reports of clinical responses and diagnostic applications.
This volume will also be of keen interest to biochemists,
pharmacologists, immunologists and other basic scientists
interested in acquiring information on the state of the art of the
latest purification procedures, the chemical characterization,
pharmacokinetics, immunopharmacology, and molecular biology of the
thymosins alone or in combination with other BRMs and standard
therapies.
