The amniotic fluid contains an abundance of mesenchymal stem cells mscs that originate from the fetus.
Cord blood stem cells and amniotic fluid stem cells.
Perinatal biologics and regenerative potential.
Clearly amniotic stem cell therapy is not donated stem cells working in your damaged joint it is in fact growth factors that activate your own stem cells.
The newly discovered amniotic fluid stem cells may not be pluripotent or.
Amniotic fluid stem cells offer a couple of advantages over umbilical cord stem cells.
Unlike the controversial embryonic perinatal biologics amniotic cells are ethically and safely harvested.
Concentrated cord blood is also ethically harvested from a donating mother after a live birth.
When umbilical cord blood placental tissue and amniotic fluid are in their natural state they contain numerous living stem cells that can be used to treat many diseases.
Human amniotic fluid cells have been used as a diagnostic tool for the prenatal diagnosis of fetal genetic anomalies for more than 50 years.
Amniotic stromal cells come from the amniotic sac not an embryo.
Evidence provided in the last 5 years however suggests that they can also harbour a therapeutic potential for human diseases as different populations of fetal derived stem cells have been isolated from amniotic fluid.
Do your amniotic or cord products contain stem cells.
First is that some of these cells can actually be obtained before birth through a process known as amniocentesis 3 this comes in handy if the developing baby is found to have a congenital disorder such as a heart defect.
