Human amniotic fluid‐derived stem cells have characteristics of multipotent stem cells
15 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To characterize mesenchymal stem cell-like cells isolated from human amniotic fluid for a new source of therapeutic cells. MATERIALS: Fibroblastoid-type cells obtained from amniotic fluid at the time of birth. METHODS: The ability of ex vivo expansion was investigated until senescence, and stem cell-like characteristics were analyzed by examining differentiation potential, messenger RNA expression and...
