Epithalon peptide induces telomerase activity and telomere elongation in human somatic cells
Khavinson VKh, Bondarev IE, Butyugov AA. Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine 2003;135:590-592.
What it found
Adding epitalon to human fetal fibroblasts, which normally lack telomerase, was followed by expression of the telomerase catalytic subunit, telomerase activity and longer telomeres.
Limitations
Cell culture only, very short report. From the St Petersburg group led by Vladimir Khavinson, which produced most epitalon research.
