As described in research published in Cell, the new model can be used to study the origin and function of the human amnion and help identify previously unknown ways the amniotic sac might support ...

The study (“Human Amnion-derived Stem Cells have Immunosuppressive Properties on NK cells and Monocytes”) is available on-line as an unedited early e-pub in Cell Transplantation. The amniotic ...

Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization.

This is the first model of amniotic sac development after two weeks. The amnion is a protective membrane that balloons into a sac containing amniotic fluid, which leaves the body when the mother's ...

As described in research published today in Cell, the new model can be used to study the origin and function of the human amnion and help identify previously unknown ways the amniotic sac might ...

The amnion is the innermost layer of the placenta that surrounds the fetus. The amniotic sac is filled with fluid, which ...

Injected micronized amnion/chorion bilayer (AC) product significantly reduces time to symptom relief in patients with refractory interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), according to ...
