Description
Summary:Human amnion is a favorable potential source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) for future cell-therapy-based clinical applications, because of the painless collection procedure and easy accessibility of the placenta. Human amnion mesenchymal stem cells (hAMCs) have multilineage differentiation ability and high proliferation ability, are non-tumorigenic and have a relatively low risk of rejection after transplantation. Given the beneficial properties of hAMCs, herein, we review the isolation methods and characteristics of hAMCs. Furthermore, we summarize current hAMC applications and preservation methods.
