EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The University of Vermont College of Medicine and the Vermont
Lung Center, with support of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the …

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC) are key candidates for cellular therapies. Although most
therapeutic applications have focused on adult bone marrow derived MSC, increasing …

Células-tronco são células indiferenciadas. Como tal, apresentam uma série de
características que as tornam candidatas à utilização terapêutica. As principais …

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells with
capacity to differentiate into several mesenchymal lineages. This quality makes MSCs good …

Purpose We sought to determine whether simple intra-amniotic delivery of concentrated
amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (afMSCs) may elicit prenatal coverage of experimental …

A number of novel approaches for repair and regeneration of injured lung have developed
over the past several years. These include a better understanding of endogenous stem and …

Human amniotic fluid–derived stem (AFS) cells possess several advantages over embryonic
and adult stem cells, as evidenced by expression of both types of stem cell markers and …

Introduction: Foetal cells present in amniotic fluid (AF) have been used for many years to
perform prenatal genetic screening. Recent reports suggested that these cells might have …

Osteoarthritis results from the degradation of articular cartilage and is one of the leading
global causes of pain and immobility. Cartilage has a limited capacity for self-repair. While …

The stem cells isolated from amniotic fluid present an exciting possible contribution to the
field of regenerative medicine and amniotic fluid-derived stem (AFS) cells have significant …
