HOW STEM CELLS ACT
On the cell membrane of the epidermis there are some proteins, called “receptors”, capable of bonding to themselves specific molecules present in the extracellular environment.
These receptors act as a cell entrance door.
When the receptors come into contact with the stem cells they give rise to kinase, which is the ability to transport the signal received from outside into the inside of the cell.
In this way the receptor allow the cell to give a response to the signals from outside without doing so through the membrane, thus making way for a new cell generation.
This is how the input to intracellular growth is transmitted and how a rapid acceleration of biophysical activities (phosphorylation) is activated. These activities help cell division and proliferation. |

Why plant stem cells?
In the plant world, stem cells are the so-called meristematic cells (the buds and the terminal part of the root), tissues in the totipotent embryonic state, and thus potentially capable of converting into any type of tissue, characterised by an intense rate of endless cell multiplication.

Meristems
Plants are organisms with incredible plasticity. Normally, they adapt to changes of environment, light and temperature. They stay in the sun at tropical temperatures and at very low temperatures below zero, and they undergo cutting and pruning. Despite this, they regrow leaves, flowers and stems without any problem.
Unlike animals, they are able to form a whole organism again starting from individual totipotent cell groups, the socalled apical meristem cells, that are found at the apex of the root or the buds, where cell division occurs, that will enable the adult parts of plant organs to form. |

These are often in a “dormant” state (for example, during the winter period), but it only needs an awakening event to give rise to the mechanism of formation of new cells.
In other cases, non-meristem cells may be induced to become meristem cells through an induction phenomenon, in order to give rise to new growth.
These potentially contain all the vital energy and active ingredients needed for development of the plants themselves, so as to activate the biological processes.

Activated action
Stemcell treatments contain stem cells of plant origin, coming in particular from the lotus, that help natural biochemical processes for cell regeneration.
Skin life is an expression of cell dynamics and to cure weakened skins it is necessary to use cells in a phase of potential division that can act and stimulate the tissues, directing the activity of the signals towards the formation of new skin, and it is for this that plant cells have been chosen.
When these come into contact with the skin cells, this starts a chain reaction of natural biochemical processes that give rise to a complete regeneration of the whole thickness of the skin tissue . |

Thus Stemcell action revives the dormant biological process, arousing the dormant stem cells, inducing the formation of newfibroblasts and keratinocytes, and synthesizing new youthful substances (collagen, elastin, etc). In this way, directing the power of the activity of endogenous stem cells (the stem cells themselves and not those produced externally) represents the definitive response to the desire for a fresher, younger and non-ageing skin. Our skin’s appearance will no longer depend on the reduced functions of our senescent cells, their ability to act again will be re-established and the epidermis will once more take on a young healthy look in a radical way never achieved until now, with new turgor and firmness. | |
