Cell and Gene Therapy

Skin cell therapy

Stem cells have newly become a huge catchphrase in the skincare biosphere. Skincare specialists are not using embryonic stem cells; it is impossible to integrate live materials into a skincare product.  Instead, scientists are creating products with specialized peptides and enzymes or plant stem cells which, when applied topically on the surface, help to protect the human skin stem cells from damage and deterioration or stimulate the skins own stem cells. Currently, the technique is mainly used to save the lives of patients who have third degree burns over very large areas of their bodies.
