Atlas of amnion development during the first trimester of human pregnancy

Abstract excerpt

The amnion is a critical extra-embryonic structure that supports foetal development, yet its ontogeny remains poorly defined. Here, using single-cell transcriptomics, we identified major cell types and subtypes in the human amnion across the first trimester of pregnancy, broadly categorized into epithelial, mesenchymal and macrophage lineages.
