Description

Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) Research Topics:

1. Immune Enhancement:

   Tα1 enhances the immune system by stimulating the production and activity of T-cells, B-cells, macrophages, and natural killer cells. This makes it particularly effective in boosting the immune response against various viral infections, including hepatitis B and C, and HIV/AIDS. (PMID: 27450734)

2. Cancer Therapy:

   Tα1 has shown promising results in treating various cancers by inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis. It is particularly beneficial when used in combination with other cancer treatments. (PMID: 36812669)

3. Reduction of Inflammation:

   Tα1 helps reduce inflammation by modulating cytokine production and activity. This property is beneficial in treating conditions like sepsis and other inflammatory diseases. (PMID: 30063864)
