Stem cells as a bio-resource for cosmeceutical product development

BioCella Medical Concept Solutions Inc.是一家基于医学原理设计和配制护肤产品的药妆公司。BioCella希望开发一种创新的抗衰老产品，该产品将使用人类成体干细胞衍生的生长因子，而不像目前市场上的化妆品那样使用植物来源的干细胞提取物，没有或只有最低的功效。公司没有技术知识来解决提取这些肽或生长因子的问题；因此，需要克劳福德博士的专业知识来提供一份强有力的方案来分离人类成人干细胞并纯化将被纳入药妆产品的分泌因子。该公司还希望科学验证这些活性分子在基于细胞的皮肤再生方面的益处

BioCella Medical Concept Solutions Inc. is a cosmeceutical company which designs and formulates skin care products based on medical principles. BioCella wishes to develop an innovative anti-aging product which would employ human adult stem cell-derived growth factors, unlike cosmetic products which are presently in the market place and use plant-derived stem cell extracts with no to minimal efficacy. The company does not have the technical knowledge to solve the issue of extracting such peptides or growth factors; therefore, is requesting the expertise of Dr. Crawford to provide a robust protocol to isolate human adult stem cells and purification of the secretory factors which will be incorporated into cosmeceutical products. The company also wishes for scientific validation of the benefits of these active molecules on skin rejuvenation using cell-based assays. By combining the latest discoveries in the fields of stem cell biology and skin care technology, BioCella hopes to formulate the most effective and scientifically tested anti-aging products. Although the finished products would be applicable in the management of UV damaged photoaging and personalized skin care, the results from this study may eventually lead to new therapies for skin wound-healing and regeneration.
