Human Amniotic Membrane and Amniotic Membrane–Derived Cells
Human amniotic membrane (hAM) is the innermost layer of fetal membranes, which surrounds the developing fetus and forms the amniotic cavity. hAM and hAM-derived cells possess many properties that make them suitable for use in regenerative medicine, such ...

Human amniotic membrane as newly identified source of amniotic fluid pulmonary surfactant [PDF]
Pulmonary surfactant (PS) reduces surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the alveolar epithelium of the lung, which is required for breathing and for the pulmonary maturity of the developing foetus.

Development of a tissue-engineered skin substitute on a base of human amniotic membrane
Allogenic graft material and tissue engineering have recently shown promising results for the improvement of both esthetic and functional outcomes in the treatment of large skin defects. We chose human amniotic membrane as a cellular scaffold in order to

Anatomical and Functional Outcomes of Human-Amniotic Membrane Graft in Refractory Macular Hole Cases. [PDF]
Macular hole (MH) surgery generally has a high success rate, but finding anatomical plug for refractory cases remains challenging. The human amniotic membrane (hAM), with its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, has emerged as a potential ...
