Association Between Thymosin β4 and Coronary Arterial Lesions in Children with Kawasaki Disease
Tβ4 levels were significantly lower in children with KD, particularly in those with CALs. These findings suggest that Tβ4 may be involved in the inflammatory pathogenesis of KD and the progression of CALs, thus could represent a potential target for future diagnostic or therapeutic interventions.
