ReskiLab cooperated in the development of a new cosmetic ingredient based on biotechnologically produced moss cells for a novel anti-aging and moisturizing concept with the Swiss company Mibelle Biochemistry. A new product for skin care will be introduced on 16^th April 2018, right before the „in-Cosemtics global“ trade fair that will take place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The new MossCellTec™ Technology was used to develop the active ingredient for MossCellTec™ No. 1. According to in vitro studies, this active ingredient improves cell nucleus health by helping to transport molecules in and out of the cell nucleus, which is important in helping skin adapting to climactic changes. The ingredient in MossCellTec™ No. 1 is on the fair’s Award Shortlist for Best Active Ingredients. Professor Ralf Reski will be in Amsterdam on 16^th of April to give a talk about moss biotechnology.

Ralf Reski is invited speaker at the Summer Symposium of the Julius von Sachs Institute at the University of Würzburg, Germany, on 27^th July 2017 to present his research in the talk "Cuticle, sporophyte, stomata: three plant innovations that changed our planet". He introduces research that he and his team published in the renowned journals Nature Plants and Nature Communications about the innovation of a protective outer layer, pores in the epidermis as well as the molecular mechanism responsible for the alternation of generations between sexual and asexual reproduction. All three innovations of mosses once were a prerequisite to conquer new ecosystems formerly unavailable for plants.

Two members of the ReskiLab are presenting our recent advances at the next “Molecular Biology of Plants Conference” in Dabringhausen, Germany, on 23^th and 24^th February 2017. Ralf Reski introduces basic research results on plant evolution under the title “cuticule, sporophyte, stomata: three plant innovations that shaped our planet” and Eva Decker focusses on applied research in biotechnology and molecular farming with her presentation entitled “moss-produced, glyco-optimized human factor H for therapeutic applications in complement disorders”.

Lennard Bohlender from the ReskiLab is speaker at the GlycoBioTec 2017 scientific conference in Berlin on 8^th February 2017. He will talk about the “Production of biologically active recombinant factor H in glyco-optimized Physcomitrella patens” and thus introducing the findings of our paper “Moss-Produced, Glycosylation-Optimized Human Factor H for Therapeutic Application in Complement Disorders” published in JASN, the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (doi: 10.1681/ASN.2015070745). The results demonstrate its ability to control complement activation in serum derived from aHUS patients as well as in a C3G mouse model.
