“…The recent isolation of cells with stem cell features from human amnion and amniotic fluid, opens many new venues (reviewed in Evangelista et al, 2008;Fauza, 2004;Ilancheran et al, 2009;Marcus and Woodbury, 2008;Miki and Strom, 2006;Pappa and Anagnou, 2009;Parolini et al, 2008;Parolini et al, 2009;Prusa and Hengstschlager, 2002;Siegel et al, 2008;Toda et al, 2007;Insausti et al, 2010). The low immunogenicity and the immunomodulatory properties (Akle et al, 1981;Banas et al, 2008;Ilancheran et al, 2007;Kubo et al, 2001;Wolbank et al, 2009) make amniotic membrane-derived epithelial stem cells promising for regeneration of tissues and ultimately even organs.…”
