Tß4 is a naturally occurring 43 amino acid peptide and the major actin-sequestering molecule in mammalian cells. As such, it plays a vital role in the regeneration, remodeling, and healing of injured or damaged tissues. Tß4 is found in highest concentration in blood platelets, the first molecules to reach the site of a wound. It has also been shown to influence T-cell differentiation, decrease toxicity induced by endotoxin and chemotherapy, and down-regulate a number of key inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Tß4 is the first actin-sequestering molecule to be tested for wound healing. It has a significantly different mechanism of action than other potential wound healing agents, including growth factors, and may be delivered topically, virtually eliminating toxicity while allowing easy accessibility for frequent treatment. Numerous recent papers have been published in major scientific journals describing the results of research on Tß4 conducted at the NIH and other institutions. Abstracts of these publications may be found at the company's web site.

RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., Bethesda, MD, (www.RegeneRx.com) holds an exclusive worldwide license for Tß4 from NIH for wound healing and is developing it for the potential treatment of a variety of human diseases. The Company holds several patents related to the technology and has numerous patent applications pending. RegeneRx is initiating human clinical trials for chronic dermal wounds this quarter.
