"The most important qualities of amniotic membrane include a low antigenicity, good adherence to the wound surface, potential antimicrobial activity, and its abundant availability."

Abstract: Partial-thickness burns involve damage to the upper layer of skin, which leaves nerve endings exposed, and therefore represent the most painful of several categories of thermal injuries. Historically, partial-thickness burns were treated conservatively by debriding the blisters, by dail...

Systematic review of research on human amniotic membrane-derived products in sports medicine finds it to be a promising application as a source of pluripotent cells, highly organized collagen, antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory cytokines, immunomodulators, and matrix proteins.

Amniotic membrane (AM)–derived products have been successfully used in ophthalmology, plastic surgery, and wound care, but little is known about their potential applications in orthopaedic sports medicine.

Researchers identify Interleukin-6 (IL6)’s role in tissue damage and cell reprogramming; hoping this discovery will improve treatment options for the regeneration of damaged tissue.

Cell reprogramming does not happen exactly as we thought. A team from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre has shown that tissue damage is a relevant factor for cells to go back to an embryonic state. This relationship between damage and reprogramming is mediated by a proinflammatory molecule...
