[Functional morphology of organotypic culture of spleens from rats of various ages exposed to vilon]
Plain-language summary
Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.
This study examined effects of the synthetic dipeptide vilon (Lys-Glu, 20 ng/ml) on organotypic spleen tissue cultures from rats aged 3 days, 3 weeks, and 2 years. The authors reported that vilon induced morphologic stability of the tissue and activated regeneration and functional activity of cells, with a stronger effect observed in explants from the oldest rats. The authors suggested this supports vilon as a candidate for further geriatric research.
Abstract
A synthetic dipeptide vilon (Lys-Glu, 20 ng/ml) was added to a cultural medium of explants taken from rats of 3 days, 3 weeks and 2 years of age. The peptide induced morphologic stability of the tissue and activated the regeneration and functional activity of cells. The stronger effect on the explants taken from the old rats suggests that vilon is a candidate for geriatric research and practice.
