Plant Stem Cells

Plants have emerged as powerful production platforms for the expression of fully functional recombinant mammalian proteins. These expression systems have demonstrated the ability to produce complex glycoproteins in a cost-efficient manner at large scale. The full realization of the therapeutic potential of stem cells has only recently come into the forefront of regenerative medicine. Stem cells are unprogrammed cells that can differentiate into cells with specific functions. Regenerative therapies are used to stimulate healing and might be used in the future to treat various kinds of diseases. Regenerative medicine will result in an extended healthy life span. A fresh apple is a symbol for beautiful skin. Hair greying for example could be shown to result from the fact that the melanocyte stem cells in the hair follicle have died off.

The global stem cell, Stem cell products market will grow from about $5.6 billion in 2013 to nearly $10.6 billion in 2018, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6% from 2013 through 2018.This track discusses the implications of stem cell research and commercial trends in the context of the current size and growth of the pharmaceutical market, both in global terms and analysed by the most important national markets.

Plant stem cells are innately undifferentiated cells located in the meristems of plant. Plant stem cells are also characterized by their location in specialized structures called meristematic tissues, which are located in root apical meristem (RAM), shoot apical meristem (SAM), and vascular system ((pro)cambium or vascular meristem.). Numerous medicines, perfumes, pigments, antimicrobials, and insecticides are derived from plant natural products. Cultured Cambial Meristematic Cells (CMC) may provide a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and sustainable source of important natural products, including paclitaxel.
