Plant stem cells culture — a new tool for skin protection and regeneration
Medical Research Journal 2019;4(1):52-57.
Abstract
Development of biotechnology, esthetic medicine and cosmetology can enable us to slow down or delay
the skin aging process. Currently, much attention is aimed at treatments using substances of plant origin.
They have been proven to exhibit antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal properties, accelerate wound
healing, moisturize the skin, enhance skin renewal processes and protect skin against UV radiation. Biologically active plant-derived compounds, however, are often produced by plants in very small amounts.
A solution to this problem is an in vitro culture of callus tissue, representing plant stem cells. Both, in vitro
and in vivo studies demonstrated beneficial effects of plants stem cell extracts on human skin in the battle
against ageing. The aim of this paper was to provide a review of studies based on the use of plant stem
cells in limiting skin ageing.
