...R. Devlieger; E. Gratacós; L. Verbist; R. Pijnenborg; J. Deprest Objectives: There is paucity of data on the capacity of fetal membranes to repair surgical defects following trauma. We aimed at developing an in vitro model using monolayers of human amnion epithelial cells to study fetal membrane...
