Human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) derived from placental tissues have gained
considerable attention in the field of regenerative medicine. hAECs possess embryonic stem …

Among the three embryonic germ layers, the mesoderm is a major source of the
mesenchymal precursors giving rise to skeletal and connective tissues, but these precursors …

Amniotic membrane (AM), the nearest layer of fetal membranes to the fetus, contains two
types of cells with unique characteristics that make them excellent candidates for clinical …

Improvement in angiogenesis using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is evolving as an
option in patients with vascular insufficiencies. The paracrine factors secreted by MSCs have …

Amnion and amniotic fluid (AF) are noncontroversial and inexhaustible sources of
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that can be harvested noninvasively at low cost. As in …

Large-scale expansion of highly functional adult human mesenchymal stem cells (aMSCs)
remains technologically challenging as aMSCs lose self renewal capacity and multipotency …

Amniotic membrane (AM) has been used as a scaffold for the ex vivo expansion of different
types of cells and a cell delivery matrix in regenerative medicine. Since the preservation …

Stem cells including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)
and adult stem cells (ASCs) are able to repair/replace damaged or degenerative tissues and …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We previously found that human fetal lung is a rich
source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Here we characterize and analyze the frequency …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) found in bone marrow (BM)-MSCs are an attractive source
for the regeneration of damaged tissues. Alternative postnatal, perinatal, and fetal sources of …
