Thin innermost membranous sac enclosing the developing embryo of higher vertebrates (reptiles, birds and mammals)
1The ventral wall advances into the amnion, which encloses the embryo.
2The AMSC were isolated from human umbilical cord amnion by using digestion with collagenase.
3In contrast, epithelial cells cultured from nonmalignant mammary tissue did not invade the amnion.
4Conclusion: The amnion produces potent natural antimicrobials that may help protect the pregnancy from infection.
5Amniotic fluid was obtained at Caesarean Section by direct needle aspiration from the intact amnion.
6Conclusion: Characterization of human amnion epithelial and mesenchymal cells identified the most potent proliferation-inducing medium yet.
7The embryo is enclosed in the delicate amnion-sac.
8No necrosis and ulceration were found in all amnion grafts at the early stage after transplantation.
9The yelk-sac is rather smaller, the amnion and chorion larger.)
10Entry of amnion epithelial cell exosomes into cells was confirmed by confocal microscopy of fluorescent-labeled exosomes.
11My arms have lost function, and I cannot lift the section of amnion covering his face.
12The amnion and serous membrane are omitted.
13All the appendages are also removed (amnion, allantois, yelk-sac), and the middle part of the gut.
14The surgical handling characteristics of decellularized term human amnion membrane were better than the commercial collagen matrix foil.
15For the determination of elution toxicity, extracts of sealants were incubated on amnion cell cultures for 72 hours.
16The possible regulatory mechanism between the hepatoma-type ALP and the placental type ALP in the amnion cells is considered.
