Of course, every cell of a plant is worthy of being called unique. Nevertheless, there are special cells, they are also called meristemal cells, the properties of which distinguish them from the general series.
Their main difference is non-differentiation – in other words, the initial non-belonging to any type. At the same time, these cells are able, under certain conditions, to adhere to any of them, becoming, for example, cells of the bark, leaves or flowers.
You probably already guessed that the article will focus on plant stem cells.
Researchers have long noticed that the plant is capable of self-healing from the smallest fragments. This ability is provided by plant stem cells, which have an amazing potential for growth and renewal.
This property of plants began to be successfully used in cosmetology only at the beginning of the twentieth century. Today, plant cell extracts are obtained from the meristem of buds, shoots, roots and seedlings. Growth zones are concentrated in these parts of plants. Usually, the material for the preparation of extracts is harvested in early spring, when the plants begin to actively grow and renew themselves.
The most valuable thing for cosmetologists is the ability of plant stem cells to trigger renewal processes in the skin. It is known that the vital resources of skin cells decrease over time. This slows down the renewal processes, the skin loses its elasticity, becomes thinner and wrinkles.
Under the influence of plant extracts, the cells of the epidermis are cleansed of toxins, strengthened and begin to function with the same energy.
Thus, stem cells are able to literally give the skin a second youth.
Currently, plant stem cells are extracted from plants or synthesized under laboratory conditions. And in fact, and in another case, they retain all useful substances: vitamins, antioxidants, micro- and macroelements, phytohormones and amino acids. The laboratory method allows you to preserve the natural sources of stem cells – living plants, does not tie the creation of the extract to a specific time of the year, guarantees the absence of pesticides and fertilizers.
It’s amazing how wise nature is. The inhabitants of the northern canton of Turgovia (Switzerland) did not even suspect that they were literally keeping youth in their cellars. The fact is that during the snowy winter months, the only fruit available for them was the bitter fruits of the Uttwiler Spatlauber apple trees. These apples had the unique ability to stay fresh even 4 months after ripening. With the development of trade and communications, the need for such a long storage has disappeared, and because of the bitter taste, apple trees were not cultivated.
By 2008, only 20 trees of this variety remained in the remote corners of the country. Fortunately, at this time, scientists specializing in the production of raw materials for the needs of cosmetology drew attention to the properties of these fruits. The plant stem cell extract obtained as a result of the development received recognition and a prestigious award in the same year.
