A Systematic Review of Human Amnion Enhanced Cartilage Regeneration in Full-Thickness Cartilage Defects

Biomimetics
Cartilage defects present a significant challenge in orthopedic medicine, often leading to pain and functional impairment. To address this, human amnion, a naturally derived biomaterial, has gained attention for its potential in enhancing cartilage ...

The Role of Progesterone and a Novel Progesterone Receptor, Progesterone Receptor Membrane Component 1, in the Inflammatory Response of Fetal Membranes to Ureaplasma parvum Infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Ureaplasma parvum (U. parvum) is gaining recognition as an important pathogen for chorioamnionitis and preterm premature rupture of membranes. We aimed to investigate the roles of progesterone (P4) and a novel progesterone receptor, progesterone receptor

Solubilized Amnion Membrane Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Accelerates Full‐Thickness Wound Healing

Stem Cells Translational Medicine, 2017
The early and effective treatment of wounds is vital to ensure proper wound closure and healing with appropriate functional and cosmetic outcomes. The use of human amnion membranes for wound care has been shown to be safe and effective.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

The Potential of Amniotic Membrane/Amnion-Derived Cells for Regeneration of Various Tissues

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
Regenerative medicine is a new field based on the use of stem cells to generate biological substitutes and improve tissue functions, restoring damaged tissue with high proliferability and differentiability. It is of interest as a potential alternative to

Functional evolution of a morphogenetic gradient

eLife, 2016
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) pattern the dorsal-ventral axis of bilaterian embryos; however, their roles in the evolution of body plan are largely unknown. We examined their functional evolution in fly embryos.

Modeling mammalian gastrulation with embryonic stem cells

, 2017
Understanding cell fate patterning and morphogenesis in the mammalian embryo remains a formidable challenge. Recently, in vivo models based on embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have emerged as complementary methods to quantitatively dissect the physical and ...

Activation of prostaglandin EP4 receptor attenuates the induction of cyclooxygenase‐2 expression by EP2 receptor activation in human amnion fibroblasts: implications for parturition

The FASEB Journal, 2019
Human amnion fibroblasts produce abundant prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which plays a crucial role in parturition by stimulating not only myometrial contraction and cervical ripening but also the expression of the rate‐limiting enzyme in PGE2 synthesis—namely,
