Common Name(s): Crataegus monogyna meristem cell culture extract,crataegus monogyna meristem cell culture extract,plant/animal cell biotechnology,in-vitro standardised active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers standardised secondary metabolites or growth factors with quantifiable bioactivity — consistent batch-to-batch enabling reliable clinical claim substantiation.
Why It's Used: In-vitro biotechnology provides pharmaceutical-grade standardisation eliminating the 3-10× compositional variation of field-grown botanical raw materials.
How It Works: Cell culture under controlled conditions: plant cells via elicitation (uv, jasmonate) produce 2-10× elevated metabolite concentrations; animal/stem cell conditioned media contains the cell's secreted growth factor and cytokine profile.
Typically Found In: Premium actives,sustainable beauty
