WHAT ARE STEM CELLS?
Stem cells are specialized in that they can differentiate into other cells. These cells are found throughout our bodies as well as in plants and animals. In our skin, they assist to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissue.
Products containing human-derived stem cells come with some controversy as to where they were derived – embryonic pluripotent, non-embryonic pluripotent, or adult mesenchymal stem cells. Plant stem cells are a revolutionary approach as they can differentiate and become any part of the plant or de-differentiate and revert to stem cells. Also plant stem cells bring an eco-friendly aspect because they can continue to thrive and produce in a lab setting. Scientists discovered they were able to cultivate cells of endangered and rare species guaranteeing the preservation of limited plant stocks.
