Cryopreserved amniotic membrane (AM) is widely used in ophthalmology because of its anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing promoting capabilities. A common method to conserve the tissue is the storage in cryo-medium containing 50% glycerol at -80°C.

Biological effects of amniotic membrane on diabetic foot wounds: a systematic review
Objective: The amniotic membrane has biological properties that are beneficial to the wound healing process of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Our aim is to analyse the scientific evidence found in literature on the use of the amniotic membrane to stimulate DFU healing.

Maximizing the safety of glycerol preserved human amniotic membrane as a biological dressing
Burns, 2015Preservation of human amniotic membrane (HAM) in glycerol 85% has been used clinically but the use of glycerol 98% can give the maximum virucidal activity and increases the safety of HAM.To determine the degree of clinical efficacy of HAM preserved in glycerol 98% as a biological dressing in management of donor site of split thickness skin graft (STSG).

Amniotic membrane as a biological dressing for 5-fluoruracil-induced oral mucositis in rats
International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2015Oral mucositis is a reaction to chemoradiation therapy during cancer treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of amniotic membrane as a biological dressing for oral mucositis lesions in rats. Sixty Wistar rats were divided into three groups (n = 20): control, 5-fluoruracil (5-FU), 5-fluoruracil + amniotic membrane (5-FU+AM).

Oral mucositis is a frequent and significant side effect of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the homogenous amniotic membrane (HAM) as a biological dressing for oral mucositis induced by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the labial fornix region of inferior incisors in rats.Sixty rats were divided ...

Biological Activities of a Human Amniotic Membrane Interferon
Placenta, 1999In order to characterize further the human amniotic membrane interferon (IFN-AM), an interferon antigenically unrelated to human IFN-alpha, -beta, and -gamma or TNF, we analysed its biological activities. Here, we present direct evidence of its ability to affect cell growth and to induce the IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) 6-16 and 2'-5' oligoadenylate ...

Neovascularization of the amniotic membrane as a biological immune barrier
Transplantation Proceedings, 2004The clinical application of islet transplantation is limited due to the limited source and the morbidity of systemic immunosuppression to prevent rejection. The two problems can be solved by using encapsulated islets. We have used amniotic membranes as biocompatible natural immune barriers.
