A Revolutionary Technology to Protect Skin Stem Cells PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica is a liposomal preparation based on the stem cells of a rare Swiss apple.
The protection of human stem cells by PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica has been shown by various in-vitro experiments. Other studies demonstrated its agedelaying and anti-wrinkle effects. Thus PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica is a revolutionary anti-aging active ingredient based on a high-tech plant cell culture technology.
A Swiss Apple Variety with Incredible Properties
Uttwiler Spätlauber is a variety of a Swiss apple that derives from a seedling planted in the middle of the 18th century. It was very famous for its excellent storability without shriveling. Today apple cultivars are selected to maximize crop yield and sweet flavor. Thus Uttwiler Spätlauber with its acid taste is now disappearing. Uttwiler Spätlauber apples are rich in phytonutrients, proteins and long-living cells. This particular composition leads to incredible storability and longevity properties.
Stem Cells and Longevity
Longevity is related to specific cells called stem cells which have a unique growth characteristic. These unspecialized (undifferentiated) cells can make identical copies of them – selves as well as differentiate to become specialized cells. Two basic types of stem cells are present in the human body:
- Embryonic stem cells found in blastocysts can grow and differentiate into one of the more than 220 different cell types which make up the human body.
- Adult stem cells located in some adult tissues can only differentiate into their own or related cell types. These cells act as a repair system for the body but also maintain the normal turnover of regenerative organs such as blood, skin or intestinal tissues.
Research on Stem Cells and Applications
Currently in medicine, adult stem cells are already used particularly in transplant medicine to treat leukemia and severe burns.
In the cosmetic field, scientists are focusing their research on adult stem cells located in the skin. They are studying the potential of this type of cells, their functioning and aging. These researches will help to understand how to protect skin stem cells.
