Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This special "Stem Cells" issue will focus on the newest research identifying naturally occurring botanicals with promising effects on the stimulation and protection of the skin. Plant-based stem cell factors mimic the action of human stem cells in that they secrete the same growth factors to repair the skin. Plant-derived stem cells can differentiate into other types of cells; an entirely new plant can be created from just one plant stem cell. There are several plant stem cell factors currently being utilized in skincare products, including but not limited to: Swiss apple, Uttwiller Spatlauer apple, white tuberose flower, gardenia, edelweiss, lilac, sea fennel and grape. Topics for papers on this subject can include current plant stem cell factor-based skincare product formulations; advances in plant stem cell factor-based skincare; pros and cons of utilizing plant stem cell factors in skincare products; skin conditions that can specifically benefit from plant-based stem cell factors; and marketing plant stem cell factor-based products.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cosmetics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The last decades witnessed a great demand of natural remedies. As a result, medicinal plants have been increasingly cultivated on a commercial scale, but the yield, the productive quality and the safety have not always been satisfactory. Plant cell cultures provide useful alternatives for the production of active ingredients for biomedical and cosmetic uses, since they represent standardized, contaminant-free and biosustainable systems, which allow the production of desired compounds on an industrial scale. Moreover, thanks to their totipotency, plant cells grown as liquid suspension cultures can be used as “biofactories” for the production of commercially interesting secondary metabolites, which are in many cases synthesized in low amounts in plant tissues and differentially distributed in the plant organs, such as roots, leaves, flowers or fruits. Although it is very widespread in the pharmaceutical industry, plant cell culture technology is not yet very common in the cosmetic field. The aim of the present review is to focus on the successful research accomplishments in the development of plant cell cultures for the production of active ingredients for cosmetic applications.
