Soft Tissue Repair with Easy-Accessible Autologous Newborn Placenta or Umbilical Cord Blood in Severe Malformations: A Primary Evaluation

Figure 1

Morphology of amnion-residing cells. Pieces of amnion were kept in culture for up to 21 days in three different culture media and thereafter stained with HTX/eosin. The different culture conditions did not induce morphological changes, but there was a decreased integrity of the epithelial layer integrity over time (indicated by the arrows). Magnification 20x.
