Background Human amniotic fluid stem (hAFS) cells have become an attractive stem cell
source for medical therapy due to both their ability to propagate as stem cells and the lack of …

During the past several years, the human placenta and in particular the amniotic fetal
membrane have attracted much attention as a possible source of cells to be used in cell …

In the promising field of regenerative medicine, human perinatal stem cells are of great
interest as potential stem cells with clinical applications. Perinatal stem cells could be …

Recently, human amniotic fluid (AF) cells have attracted a great deal of attention as an
alternative cell source for transplantation and tissue engineering. AF contains a variety of …

Cells derived from the amniotic foetal membrane of human term placenta have drawn
particular attention mainly for their plasticity and immunological properties, which render …

Background Human amniotic fluid cells (hAFCs) may differentiate into multiple cell lineages
and thus have a great potential to become a donor cell source for regenerative medicine …

The human amniotic membrane (hAM) surrounds and protects the fetus. It mainly consists of
a thick basement membrane and an avascular stromal matrix. The structural, physical, and …

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 …

The aim of this study was to determine the biocompatibility of an acellular human amniotic
membrane biomaterial, which may have clinical utility for cell delivery. Human amniotic …

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are currently being evaluated in
