Cryopreserved amniotic membrane modulates adult wound healing by promoting epithelialization while suppressing stromal inflammation, angiogenesis and scarring. Such clinical efficacies of amniotic membrane transplantation have been reported in several hundred publications for a wide spectrum of ophthalmic indications. The success of the aforementioned therapeutic actions prompts investigators to use amniotic membrane as a surrogate niche to achieve ex vivo expansion of ocular surface epithelial progenitor cells. Further investigation into the molecular mechanism whereby amniotic membrane exerts its actions will undoubtedly reveal additional applications in the burgeoning field of regenerative medicine. This article will focus on recent advances in amniotic membrane transplantation and expand to cover its clinical uses beyond the ocular surface.
