Human Amnion Epithelial Cells Mediate Lung Repair by Directly Modulating Macrophage Recruitment and Polarization
Human amnion epithelial cells (hAECs) have been shown to modulate inflammation and restore normal lung structure and respiratory function following bleomycin challenge in immune-competent mice. These effects are exerted despite a lack of significant engraftment of hAECs, suggesting that immunomodula...
