These ingredients help support more youthful
skin cell telomeres and
skin cell DNA repair mechanisms while retaining precious moisture in the skin.
Melanocyte cells, which produce pigment in the skin, hair and eyes, are taken from an area of healthy skin and separated to make a
skin cell mixture.
To induce a
skin cell into pluripotency - a state that mimics the multi-functional embryonic stem cells - scientists shuttled a combination of four genes into the cell with the help of a retrovirus.
Writing in the August 25 issue of Cell, Japanese researchers announced they have successfully modified a mouse
skin cell into an embryonic-like stem cell, according to Yomiuri Shimbun.
Scientists have discovered that UVA rays, which do not burn, are potentially far more damaging to
skin cell DNA than was previously realised.
"What happens when a
skin cell turns into a totipotent stem cell [a cell capable of developing into a complete organism] is that a few of its genetic switches are turned on and others turned off," writes University of Melbourne bioethicist Julian Savulescu in the April 1999 issue of the Journal of Medical Ethics.
In collaboration with the Dermatology Department at the University of Munster, the cell physiologists from Bochum demonstrated that effect in
skin cell cultures and skin explants.
They used new technology to scrutinize the molecular forces that govern cell fate decisions for
skin cell reprogramming and the natural process of embryonic development.
The HU team used new technology to scrutinize the molecular forces that govern cell fate decisions for
skin cell reprogramming and the natural process of embryonic development.

It also helps exfoliate dead
skin cells and stimulate
skin cell renewal.
The scientists added a special gene, of segment of DNA, into the
skin cell of a cat.
