Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the ability to differentiate into osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes and possess immunomodulatory properties. Amniotic membrane from human term placenta is a potential source of multipotent MSCs that could be useful for regenerative medicine. This unit describes a detailed and simple protocol for the isolation of amniotic mesenchymal cells. We also introduce a simple density separation technique for the purification of this cell type from possible contamination with amniotic epithelial cells.
