[Modulating effect of peptides on the development of skin explants in the organotypical culture]
Abstract:
The necessity of the correction of age-related skin resources reduction triggers search for most physiological means and methods to regulate reparative processes in the skin. It is known that regulation of cellular proliferation processes in tissues of the organism takes place under the effect of different peptides. We have carried out a screening study of the effect of different peptides on skin cells in organotypical skin culture. This study revealed the most effective substances to correct age-related changes in the skin.
Insights
