Changes in culture expanded human amniotic epithelial cells: implications for potential therapeutic applications.

Human amniotic epithelial cells (hAEC) isolated from term placenta have stem cell-like properties, differentiate into tissue specific cells and reduce lung and liver inflammation and fibrosis following transplantation into disease models established in mice. These features together with their low im...
