Human Amnion Epithelial Cells Protect against White Matter Brain Injury after Repeated Endotoxin Exposure in the Preterm Ovine Fetus

Intrauterine inflammation is a significant cause of injury to the developing fetal brain. Using a preterm fetal sheep model of in utero infection, we asked whether human amnion epithelial cells (hAECs) were able to reduce inflammation-induced fetal brain injury. Surgery was undertaken on pregnant sh...
