Region-Specific Gene Expression Profiling: Novel Evidence for Biological Heterogeneity of the Human Amnion1
7 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
The amnion plays an important role during pregnancy and parturition. Though referred to as a single structure, this fetal tissue is regionally divided into placental amnion, reflected amnion, and umbilical amnion. Histological differences between placental amnion and reflected amnion led us to hypothesize that the amnion is biologically heterogeneous. The gene expression profiles of placental amnion and reflected...
