Caption: Drs. J. Michael DiMaio and Ildiko Bock-Marquette have found in mice that the molecule Thymosin beta-4 affects developmental gene expression in heart cells as early as 24 hours after systemic injection. The new findings suggest that introducing TB4 after a heart attack encourages new growth and repair of these cells.
