Stem cell magic
Stem cells are an interesting topic, very extensive and so intriguing that it arouses great interest among many. Moreover, there are a lot of myths and conjectures around.
The most desirable for medicine and cosmetology are embryonic stem cells. The first five weeks after conception, the embryo consists only of stem cells. It is a universal matter from which all human tissues and organs are formed. They are the strongest! But they cannot be used, and this ban is valid worldwide.
Placental stem cells are closest in their effectiveness, they are nine months older than embryonic ones, but still do not have their own specific tasks and can still become the basis of any human organ. They are the strongest of those that can be used in cosmetology and medicine. Moreover, Japan is one of the few countries where this is allowed at the legislative level.
There are also stem cells in the body of an adult, but they are no longer so universal, some are the building material for bones, others for blood, others for tissues, and so on. That is, it is still the precursor of the cell, but it has already received the task in which area it will work effectively.
Stem cells are found in small quantities in every organ. If a call to action arrives, then the process of turning them into the right cell begins. As a rule, a non-standard situation, for example, a cut, acts as a signal for action. In this case, several types of cells are injured, and stem cells are immediately sent for repair, which are embedded in the complex architecture of the skin. With age, stem cells become smaller. The healing processes and self-healing of the body slow down. The period of skin renewal becomes longer - in other words, skin aging begins.
In Japan, for several decades, there has been a kind of race for cosmetic achievements. Scientists are looking for new ways of rejuvenation, carefully keeping their secrets. Research institutes, scientific centers, laboratories generate more and more new methods of rejuvenation. Each generation of cosmetics is more effective than the previous one. Japanese cosmetics manufacturers can't afford the luxury of stopping at established and proven products. This means that competitors will get ahead. One of the iconic areas of cosmetic research is the use of stem cells in cosmetics, because their potential is huge.
Interest increased even more after Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka obtained induced pluripotent stem cells in 2006. That is, he became the first who managed to obtain almost identical embryonic stem cells not from an embryo, but from adult cells. Thanks to this discovery, Yamanaka became world famous, and in 2012 he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for these works. (Together with British biologist John Gurdon). This discovery gave a strong impetus to the development of Japanese cosmetology.
Animal and human stem cells are isolated. And more recently, also vegetable. Initially, animal stem cells were used in cosmetology. Their action is similar to human cells. Recently, phytostem (plant) cells have gained popularity. By the way, it was Japanese scientists who influenced this.
Plant stem cells are an active biostimulator of human cells. They contain growth factors that regulate division, growth and metabolism in human skin cells. These growth factors improve skin elasticity, contribute to the disappearance of fine wrinkles, and reduce the depth of creases.
What pumps human stem cells, placental and tissue are used in the production of cosmeceuticals. Both are capable of affecting the skin at the cellular level. Both of them independently find damage and work with it. But the mechanism of this effect is slightly different.
Placental stem cells - as the main architect and jack of all trades. He sees the breakdown, but in addition he can fix it himself, and he still has all the building materials with him.
Tissue stem cells (produced from adipose tissue) - they are like an architect with a team of specialists. The architect finds the damage and knows how to fix it, he gives a clear task to his team, they fix everything. I restore the processes of normal intercellular metabolism, the formation of pigment, the synthesis of collagen fibers, and so on. This is a smart mechanism.
The use of Japanese stem cell cosmetics is safe, ethical, legal and effective. That's probably all we need to know about stem cells. Everything else is kept under the strictest confidence by the manufacturers.
