Background: Amniotic membrane is the innermost layer of the placenta, surrounding and protecting the embryo (AM). AM is a multilayered tissue, composed of amniotic epithelial cells, amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells, basal lamina, and stroma. AM's properties, which are the result of its structural features, render it extremely useful for therapeutic purposes, most notably in ophthalmology since it enhances epithelialization, is a substrate for cell growth, decreases fibrosis and tissue neovascularization and has antimicrobial properties. Due to its mechanical properties, which are mostly a result of the basal lamina's and stroma's extracellular matrix, AM is used increasingly as a biological scaffold in regenerative medicine.
Conclusions: Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field of research and clinical applications, utilising principles of biological and engineering sciences in the development of viable tissue or organ replacements. In regenerative medicine, we distinguish three approaches: 1) engraftment of functional cells (including stem cells) into the damaged or defective tissue; 2) reshaping of the damaged or defective tissue using synthetic or natural materials, and 3) tissue engineering i.e. use of scaffolds for the enhancement of the growth of tissue-specific cells and development of new, regenerated tissue. Furthermore, we present the use of AM as a biological scaffold in regenerative medicine in Slovenia.
