To review the latest development of amniotic fluid-derived stem cell(AFS) and to predict its future application.
The recent articles about AFS were extensively reviewed. The origin,culture,identification,and directional differentiation as well as future application of AFS were summarized and discussed.
In 1993, AFS were thought to be exist possibly, and it was confirmed in recent years. AFS have some surface markers like other stem cells, and has multi-differentiated potential and extensive future application in cell therapy and tissue engineering approaches.
As a new stem cell, AFS remains to be further researched.
回顾羊水来源干细胞(AFS)的最新进展并预测其未来应用。
广泛查阅近期关于AFS的文章。总结并讨论AFS的起源、培养、鉴定、定向分化以及未来应用。
1993年,人们认为AFS可能存在,近年来得到证实。AFS具有一些与其他干细胞相似的表面标志物,具有多向分化潜能,在细胞治疗和组织工程方法中有广泛的未来应用前景。
作为一种新型干细胞,AFS仍有待进一步研究。
