[Morphological characteristics of bone tissue regeneration process in young and old animals]

Kurilov IN, Ryzhak GA · Advances in Gerontology (Uspekhi Gerontologii)

Bone repair was much slower in old animals than young ones, and placing the cartilage-and-bone extracts into the defect sped it up in the old group.

Population

Young and old rabbits with a standardised cortical-bone defect

Intervention

Embryonic cartilaginous and bone tissue extracts placed into the bone defect

Comparator

Untreated old animals

Limitations

Morphological description without numbers, group sizes or statistics in the indexed abstract; local placement into a bone defect, not an oral course; Russian-language institute-linked journal.
