Apple Stem Cells – In the News

Everyone seems to be talking about stem cells. Thankfully, it’s not about slathering embryonic stem cells on skin. The buzz is around plant stem cells protecting the longevity of human stem cells. Mibelle Biochemistry was one of the first on the scene with the award winning PhytoCellTec Malus Domestica. It is based on the callus cells of a rare Swiss apple tree, Uttwiler Spätlauber, known for its fruit’s longevity. When a plant is wounded, the surrounding cells revert back into stem cells, forming callus cells. After the wound has healed, they return to their former state and build new tissue. They are totipotent cells which are known as cells with ‘total potential,’ meaning they can develop into any cell type and have the capacity to form an entire organism. These totipotent plant cells are the technology behind Apple Stem Cells; they stimulate and protect human stem cells while reducing wrinkle depth. They also reportedly have benefits in hair care, preventing hair loss and graying. What more can we ask for? Spätlauber apples are special and rare; so Mibelle developed a plant cell culture technology that allows them to culture the stem cells in a laboratory without further depleting this rare resource.

Apple Stem Cells are one of the first of what is sure to be an onslaught of plant stem cells to emerge in the personal care industry. We already have our eye on up-coming selections. We’ll keep you posted.
