Neurotrophic corneal defects are difficult to heal and all too often lead to scarring and vision loss. Medical management is often of limited success. We describe the results of nine patients (ages 37-84) with chronic nonhealing neurotrophic corneal epithelial defects who were treated with thymosin beta 4 (Tbeta4) sterile eye drops for 28 or 49 days with a follow-up period of 30 days.

- Thymosin beta4 (Tbeta4) is a key molecule that helps regulate various cellular functions, including cell movement, blood vessel formation, and survival.
- Research supports its potential in clinical trials aimed at tissue protection and regeneration in fields like dermatology and cardiology.
- There’s a specific focus on using Tbeta4 in treating severe heart attacks, particularly in conjunction with coronary intervention techniques.
The minimal origin of replication of the broad-host-range plasmid RK2 has two potential recognition sequences for the DnaA protein of Escherichia coli. DNA transfer by transformation into a dnaA-null mutant of E. coli showed that DnaA protein is needed for replication or maintenance of mini-RK2.

To determine the contribution of its components, aluminum hydroxide and sucrose octasulfate (SOS), rabbit esophageal epithelia were mounted in Ussing chambers to monitor changes in electrical resistance (R) upon exposure to HCl (pH 1.4-1.
