Amniotic Fluid Stem Cells Rescue Both in Vitro and in Vivo Growth, Innervation, and Motility in Nitrofen-Exposed Hypoplastic Rat Lungs through Paracrine Effects
Lung hypoplasia can be prevented in vitro by retinoic acid (RA). Recent evidence suggests that amniotic fluid stem (AFS) cells may integrate injured lungs and influence their recovery. We tested the hypothesis that AFS cells might improve lung growth and motility by paracrine mechanisms. Pregnant ra...
