Human Amnion Epithelial Cells Review Articles
Amniotic membrane is that the private lining of the human
placenta that's normally discarded after parturition. The membrane has numerous growth factors, proteins and somatic cell reserves that help in accelerating wound healing with regeneration of the lost tissues. These cell populations in AM are easily accessible, non-tumorigenic and capable of differentiating into a spread of cell types. Amniotic epithelial
cells (AECs) have several characteristics that make them an excellent source of stem cells. These stem
cells when cultured in vitro have the potential to make bone, soft tissue, muscle, nerve, fat and vessel. Therefore amniotic membrane (AM) which is typically disposed after parturition are often preserved and used an alternate source of stem
cells for basic Research and clinical applications. Amnion-derived
cells with multipotent differentiation ability have attracted lot of attention in tissue engineering, cell
transplantation therapy and periodontal regeneration.
