Sampling, identification and sensory evaluation of odors of a newborn baby’s head and amniotic fluid [PDF]
, 2021 For baby odor analyses, noninvasive, stress-free sample collection is important. Using a simple method, we succeeded in obtaining fresh odors from the head of five newborn babies. These odors were chemically analyzed by two-dimensional gas chromatography

Intra-uterine fetal demise caused by amniotic band syndrome after standard amniocentesis [PDF]
, 2000 The amniotic band syndrome represents a prime example of exogenous disruption of an otherwise normal feta I development. It may be a sequel of invasive diagnostic procedures such as amniocentesis or fetal blood sampling. A 38-year-old gravida II, para II

Murine amniotic fluid stem cells contribute mesenchymal but not epithelial components to reconstituted mammary ducts [PDF]
, 2010 Introduction: Amniotic fluid harbors cells indicative of all three germ layers, and pluripotent fetal amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSs) are considered potentially valuable for applications in cellular therapy and tissue engineering.

Human mid-gestation amniotic fluid contains interleukin-16 bioactivity [PDF]
, 2009 CD4-positive cells are detectable in the human fetal gastrointestinal tract from 11 weeks of gestation. Interleukin-16 (IL-16) is a chemoattractant for CD4(+) cells and, via fetal swallowing of amniotic fluid, could mediate the influx of CD4(+) cells ...
