Application of stem cells

Stem cells, with their restorative and regenerative properties, can be transformed for use in lotions and lotions

According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Japan is recently working intensively to expand the use of regenerative medical technology for cosmetics. For example, Ladon Pharmaceuticals is using a compound found in fat stem cells that regulates collagen amount for cosmetics. As pharmaceutical companies are stepping up their search for new revenue growth in the face of falling drug prices, stem cells can be transformed into applications for lotions and lotions using their restorative and regenerative properties.

Not only can the products have better effect, but this is also a new transformation application for the whole stem cell industry.

Zhongshen Frontier Service Center learned that Japan's LeDun Pharmaceutical, famous for its eye products, accounted for 60% of its sales in the cosmetics business in fiscal year 2018 (as of March 2019), and the pharmaceutical company no longer simply researches and produces reagents and drugs; its institutes have modernized production, including the culture, freezing and drying of fat stem cells.

Application of stem cells

Stem cells are the origin cells of all human cells Throughout human life activities, the process of replacing senescent degenerated cells with new cells is always going on in the organism.

During this period, when the rate of cell renewal is less than the rate of cellular senescence, the organism becomes senescent. Therefore, anti-aging should be improved from the cellular level to increase the number of stem cells in the body and restore cellular activity in order to fundamentally slow down aging and improve the quality of life.

Stem cells can produce collagen

Skin aging is caused by the failure of undifferentiated stem cells to differentiate into functional cells during the metabolism of skin tissues, resulting in a shortage of new skin cells, which leads to wrinkles and other aging phenomena.

To solve this problem, in the past, we could replenish fresh new cells for facial skin through fresh stem cell facial implantation, and by increasing the number of undifferentiated stem cells, skin cells could be effectively replenished, thus promoting the renewal of skin tissues and truly fighting skin aging and restoring youth!

Now, since adipose stem cells also have the ability to produce collagen, researchers have experimentally found compounds of proteins and enzymes that can regulate the amount of collagen and use them as ingredients in cosmetics.

This means that the new regenerative medicine technology can actually be used in cosmetics, which is not only a new addition to the stem cell industry, but also gives a more comprehensive avenue of application for cutting-edge technology.

In the past, stem cell technology was mostly used in the pharmaceutical field, but now more and more pharmaceutical companies (especially stem cell companies) can also leverage regenerative medicine technology to expand the market for stem cell services in beauty and anti-aging, as well as further expand their cosmetic business such as lotions and masks.

For example, DAIICHI SANKYO HEALTHCARE, an over-the-counter pharmaceutical subsidiary of Daiichi Sankyo Pharmaceuticals, is developing lotions and emulsions using tranexamic acid, which has anti-inflammatory effects. The cosmetics and oral care business currently accounts for 30% of the company's sales.

The stem cell industry is a blue ocean, and companies in other industries, such as Fujifilm and Ajinomoto, which are not related to the pharmaceutical and stem cell fields, have invested huge amounts of money into the cosmetics industry, and stem cell regenerative medicine technology has become the primary research direction.

As the demand for "anti-aging" cosmetics to improve wrinkles and sagging continues to grow, technologies such as culturing and proliferation of cells have emerged, and research on the causes of aging of tissues and organs and the inhibition of aging is accelerating. Stem cells are undoubtedly the most promising target for research and development, as related repair and anti-aging technologies have already been implemented in the medical field, and it is more important to consider how to translate them into the beauty market.

And with the deteriorating revenue environment for pharmaceuticals in Japan, more and more pharmaceutical companies are turning their attention to the cosmetics business, and developing growth markets has become a top priority for each pharmaceutical company.

On the other hand, the global cosmetics market is more than $350 billion, with a tendency to expand in China and Asian countries, in addition to Europe and the United States, as income levels rise. Japan's cosmetics market also continues to expand, with forecasts indicating that it will exceed 3 trillion yen (about RMB 192.2 billion) in 2020. 2015-2019, the total retail sales of cosmetics in China grew from 204.9 billion yuan to 299.2 billion yuan, a total increase of 94.3 billion yuan. Considering the importance that Chinese residents (especially female residents) attach to their own appearance and the increasing consumption level, it is expected that from 2020-2025, the size of the previous other beauty markets in China will maintain the trend of expansion, and cutting-edge beauty will also grow further.
