ABSTRACT
Amniotic fluid cells are used for prenatal diagnosis of a wide rang of fetal abnormalities caused by genetic mutations. Recent observations on cell cultures from amniotic fluid obtained by second-trimester amniocentesis provide evidence that they may represent a new source for the isolation of multipotent stem cells. In this paper we reviewed the compose of amniotic fluid cells and their origin, biological characteristic, multipotent stem cells, and their prospects of application in tissue engineering.
