To investigate the long-term graft survival and the improvement of motor abnormalities after the intracerebral transplantation of the human amniotic epithelial cells (HAEC) and HAECs modified with human brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) cDNA in the rat model of Parkinson s disease (PD).

Conclusion Human amniotic epithelial cells could be used to ameliorate the cycling behavior of the PD models rats.

Objectives:Human amniotic epithelial cells(hAECs),with the characteristics of both embryonic stem cell and pluripotent stem cell,amniotic epithelial cells have the potential to differentiate to all three germ layers—endoderm(liver,pancreas),mesoderm (cardiomyocyte),and ectoderm(neural cells) in vitro.

Objective:To investigate the isolation,culture and identification of human amniotic epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells.

Rabbit s amniotic epithelial cells(AECs) were obtained from rabbits at the late trimester of pregnancy(27-28E) and culturated in vitro.

Objective:To trans-differentiate to conjunctival epithelium from human amniotic epithelial cells as a new kind of seed cells under the condition of denuded conjunctival matrix and conjunctival homogenate,then to study the biological characteristics of differentiated cells and the tissue engineering conjunctival for ocular surface reconstruction.

Effect of doxycycline on expression of FasL in human corneal epithelial cells;

Objective To evaluate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) in human corneal epithelial cells (HCE) in response to hyperosmotic stress.

Human amniotic cells(HACs) not only express the markers for both neuronal and glial cells but also synthesize and release neurotrophic factors ,which suggests that HACs may have multipotential neuronal properties.

Biological characteristics of human amniotic cells were investigated to pursue the new methods that the compounds of amniotic cells and fibrin scaffold are created to repair preterm rupture of the membrane.
