Amniotic fluid stem cells from EGFP transgenic mice attenuate hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury.

Amniotic fluid stem cells from EGFP transgenic mice attenuate hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury.

High concentrations of oxygen aggravate the severity of lung injury in patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Although mesenchymal stem cells have been shown to effectively attenuate various injured tissues, there is limited information regarding a role for amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs) in t...
