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

Standardized reporting of amnion and amnion/chorion allograft data for wound care

Health Science Reports, 2022
Background The favorable biological and mechanical properties of the most common components of the placenta, the amnion and chorion, have been explored for regenerative medical indications. The use of the combination of amnion and chorion has also become

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.

Human Amnion-Derived Stem Cells Have Immunosuppressive Properties on NK Cells and Monocytes

Cell Transplantation, 2015
Human amnion-derived cells are considered to be a promising alternative cell source for their potential clinical use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine because of their proliferation and differentiation ability.

A Systematic Review on Amnion as a Cell Delivery Scaffolding Material for Cartilage Regeneration in Pre-Clinical and Clinical Studies [PDF]

Bioengineering
Cartilage is an important yet vulnerable tissue with limited self-healing capacity, where damage often progresses to joint degeneration, which eventually leads to severe osteoarthritis (OA).

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.

Comparative Characterization of Cultured Human Term Amnion Epithelial and Mesenchymal Stromal Cells for Application in Cell Therapy

Cell Transplantation, 2008
Emerging evidence suggests human amnion tissue as a valuable source of two distinct types of pluripotent cells, amnion epithelial cells (hAECs) and mesenchymal stromal cells (hAMSCs), for applications in cell replacement therapy.

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.
