Amniotic Membrane: Separation of Amniotic Mesoderm from Amniotic Epithelium and Isolation of Their Respective Mesenchymal Stromal and Epithelial Cells
1 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
The human amniotic membrane (hAM) or amnion contains two principal types of cells: amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) and amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells (hAMSCs), located in two distinct regions: the epithelium and the stromal layer. Emerging evidence suggests that both of them retain multipotent/pluripotent characteristics, making the amniotic membrane a promising and very attractive source of cells for...
