Exosomes Secreted from Amniotic Membrane Contribute to Its Anti-Fibrotic Activity

Exosomes Secreted from Amniotic Membrane Contribute to Its Anti-Fibrotic Activity

Amniotic membranes (AM) have anti-fibrotic activity. Exosomes (nano-sized vesicles) function as conduits for intercellular transfer and contain all the necessary components to induce the resolution of fibrosis. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the anti-fibrotic activity of AM is mediated...
