Regenerative medicine involves cell-based therapies and tissue engineering to replace or regenerate human cells, tissues, or organs. Björklund Pharma is actively engaged in this field, mainly through their research and development of thymosin beta-4 (Tβ4). This peptide is highlighted for its significant potential in tissue regeneration and healing. Tβ4 promotes cell migration, differentiation, and angiogenesis, which are crucial for tissue repair.
Tβ4 Overview
Tβ4 is a highly conserved, naturally occurring, water-soluble regenerative peptide found in various tissues and cell types, except red blood cells. It binds to actin and promotes cell migration, contributing to tissue regeneration. The properties described below make Tβ4 a promising candidate for various regenerative medicine applications, and Björklund Pharma continues to explore its therapeutic and commercial possibilities.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Research indicates that Tβ4 can potentially treat MS in early and late stages, possibly alone or combined with existing therapies. Tβ4 has improved functional outcomes in rodent embolic stroke and trauma models by increasing myelinated axons, angiogenesis, and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. Read More
Cardiac Healing
Tβ4 facilitates the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), which is crucial for tissue regeneration, particularly in cardiac healing. It helps repair damaged heart tissue, improve heart function, and promote overall cardiac recovery by recruiting stem/progenitor cells and reducing inflammation and scar formation. Read More
Dermatology
In dermatology, Björklund Pharma has developed products such as InBio Paeonol + Zinc for inflammatory skin conditions and InBio Vital Skin for anti-aging. Tβ4 has shown promise in reducing healing time and enhancing dermal repair, making it a valuable component in skincare formulations. Read More
Ophthalmology
Tβ4 is being investigated in ophthalmology for its potential in treating dry eye syndrome. It improves corneal epithelial cell migration and reduces ocular surface inflammation, making it a promising candidate for enhancing ocular health and managing dry eye symptoms. Read More
COVID-19 Treatment
Tβ4 may also play a role in treating COVID-19 due to its fibrinolysis and anti-inflammatory activities. It can prevent blood clot formation, reduce inflammation, and aid in repairing tissues affected by the virus, making it a potential therapeutic option for managing severe symptoms of COVID-19.

At Björklund Pharma, we are exploring the therapeutic and commercial possibilities of Tβ4 across multiple medical fields, aiming to bring transformative treatments to patients in need. [Read More]
Applications in Regenerative Medicine
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Tβ4 is being investigated for its potential to treat multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic neurodegenerative condition that affects the central nervous system. Research has shown that Tβ4 can improve functional outcomes in rodent models by increasing myelinated axons, promoting angiogenesis, and enhancing the proliferation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. These findings suggest that Tβ4 could play a critical role in neuroregenerative therapies, offering hope to patients with MS. [Read More]
Cardiac Healing
The heart’s ability to heal after injury is limited, but Tβ4 offers a promising solution. By facilitating the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and promoting the recruitment of stem/progenitor cells, Tβ4 helps repair damaged heart tissue, improve heart function, and reduce scar formation. These properties make Tβ4 a valuable candidate for regenerative therapies aimed at cardiac healing and recovery. [Read More]
