VP1-001 protects cell-cell contacts in the lens epithelia of aged WT C57BL/6J mice. Electron micrographs of lens epithelium sections from contralateral treated and untreated eyes of WT mice. White arrows indicate typical healthy cell-cell contacts, whereas red arrows indicate areas of weak adhesion. Scale bars: 0.5 μm, black. (Left panels) Lens epithelial cell sections from two mice treated with vehicle only. (Right panels) Lens epithelial cell sections from the contralateral eyes of the same mice treated with 1 mM VP1-001.
