A leader in regenerative medicine, International Stem Cell
Corp. uses its parthenogenesis stem cell technology to address immune rejection
and self-renewing cells. This technology uses unfertilized eggs that have cells
with a duplicate set of human leukocyte antigen genes (HLA) that lessen the
chance of a body rejecting cells. From this, scientists created self-renewing
human parthenogenetic neural stem cells (hpNSC).
These cells have the capacity to replace dead and dying
neurons while protecting existing ones in patients with Parkinson’s disease. In
fact, the company recently presented its preclinical results for the treatment
of the disease at Neuroscience in Chicago. Furthermore, scientists with the
company are currently developing cell technology to treat liver and retinal
diseases.
The International Stem Cell Corp. also has a hand in
anti-aging skin care products that uses its stem cell technology through its
subsidiary Lifeline Skin Care. This technology is based on the communication
between human cells. Protein molecules can carry messages that tell the
surrounding cells to create new cells for tissue repair. The company removes
those proteins from the parthenogenetic stem cells then creates microscopic
bubbles called nanospheres to protect them from exposure. These tiny bubbles
are then infused with vitamins, minerals, moisturizers, and antioxidants to
create a finished serum.
Lifeline Skin Care has a range of products that include
overnight, daily, neck and eye firming, and cleanser creams that can improve
the look and feel of skin.
The innovative stem cell based technology of the company is
not limited to degenerative diseases of the body. Skin can also benefit from
parthenogenesis through the addition of healthy cells that prevent the look of
aging though rejuvenation. Proceeds from the skin care line help support
research for Parkinson’s, liver, and blindness diseases.
