CLDN10-driven lineage decision in an amnion and primordial germ cell progenitor at the amnion-epiblast boundary in primates [PDF]

Genome Biology
Background A growing body of evidence from primate embryos as well as in vitro systems supports the notion that amnion and primordial germ cell (PGC) lineage progressing cells share a common precursor.

Amnion Rupture Sequence

Reports
The amnion rupture sequence is a rare condition occurring early in pregnancy, resulting in complex fetal anomalies by disrupting normal embryonic development. The prevalence of amnion rupture sequence is reported to be 1.16 in 10,000 live births.

Characterization of Toxicity, Porosity, and Moisture Content of Bovine Freeze-dried Amnion and Bovine Amnion Sponge

Biomolecular and Health Science Journal, 2023
Introduction: Amnion has potential roles as a biological dressing on an extensive wound defect and in tendon healing. Before clinical trials, the safety and compatibility level of bovine amnion is needed to be measured.

miR-143 regulation of prostaglandin-endoperoxidase synthase 2 in the amnion: implications for human parturition at term. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The human amnion plays a pivotal role in parturition. Two of its compartments, the placental amnion and the reflected amnion, have distinct transcriptome and are functionally coordinated for parturition. This study was conducted to determine the microRNA

The Influence of the Preservation Method and Gamma Irradiation Sterilization on TGF-β and bFGF Levels in Freeze-Dried Amnion Membrane (FD-AM) and Amnion Sponge

International Journal of Biomaterials, 2021
Background. Amnion grafts can be preserved as freeze-dried amnion membrane (FD-AM) and amnion sponge. Preserved grafts require to be sterilized by gamma irradiation. However, each step of the process could affect its biological properties. Even so, there

The Bradykinin System Contributes to the Regulation of Prostaglandin-Endoperoxide Synthase 2 Expression in Human Amnion Fibroblasts: Implications for Term and Preterm Birth

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
BackgroundBradykinin (BK) and its biologically active metabolite des-Arg9 bradykinin (DABK) play a pivotal role in inflammation. Since chorioamnionitis is the leading cause of preterm birth and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) derived from the amnion is key to ...

Nuclear factor kappa B activation occurs in the amnion prior to labour onset and modulates the expression of numerous labour associated genes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Prior to the onset of human labour there is an increase in the synthesis of prostaglandins, cytokines and chemokines in the fetal membranes, particular the amnion.
