The amniotic membrane can be considered as one of the sources of isolation of these cells,
since it is found in the fetal maternal interface and has low immunogenicity. Mesenchymal …

Abstract Background Anemone flaccida Fr. Schmidt (Ranunculaceae)(Di Wu in Chinese) is
used to treat punch injury and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the active compounds …

Placenta-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have often been considered to linger
behind their equivalents from other tissues, such as MSC from bone marrow, in many …

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) changes cell phenotype by affecting immune
properties of amniotic epithelial cells (AECs). The present study shows how the response to …

Objective: The amniotic membrane (AM) is a tissue with low immunogenity and high
therapeutic potential due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and antimicrobial effects. This …

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are known for their immunomodulatory activity. Here, we
report that MSCs isolated from the amniotic membrane of human term placenta (hAMSCs) …

This chapter focuses on the immunomodulatory properties of placental mesenchymal
stromal cells (MSCs) derived from the amniotic membrane, umbilical cord, and chorionic villi …

The discovery of the immunoregulatory potential of human amniotic membrane (hAM)
propelled several studies focusing on its application for the treatment of immunological …

Background Despite recent advances in the treatment of arthritis with the development of
disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, 30% of patients still fail to respond to treatment …

Background Stem cells are capable of unlimited self-renewal and are able to remain
undifferentiated for extended periods of time prior to their differentiation into specific cell …
