Apple Stem Cell Science

In adult tissues such as bone marrow, muscle, brain, liver, and skin, populations of adult stem cells generate replacements for cells that have been lost due to injury, disease, or through normal wear and tear. Stem cells are thought to reside in a specific area of each tissue where they may remain quiescent (non-dividing) for many years until they are activated by disease or tissue injury. Skin stem cells occur in the epidermis and at the base of hair follicles and give rise to keratinocytes, which migrate to the surface of the skin and form a protective layer.

Harnessing the power of your own stem cells is the answer to fresh, younger-looking skin regardless of age. Anna Bellina highlights the expression of stem cell markers in skin tissue which results in the reduction of the appearance of serious wrinkles. Stem cell markers are specialized proteins that coat the surface of a stem cell and selectively bind to other molecules. Cells use these receptors and the molecules that bind to them as a way of communicating with other cells and to carry out their proper functions in the body.

When a stem cell marker protein is expressed, the cell is "turned on" to "produce the specific biological molecule encoded by that marker (usually protein). Anna Bellina contains unique proteins which stimulate the expression of stem cell markers in the skin, a process which, without Anna Bellina, slows down due to aging.

By harnessing the regenerative power of your own skin's stem cells, Anna Bellina significantly reduces the appearance of both deep and superficial wrinkles, as well as skin discoloration associated with photo-aging. It is unquestionably the most profound advancement in the skin-care sciences in decades.
