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

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...
