Lumican Extraction from Amniotic Membrane and Determination of its Storage Temperature

The present protocol describes the extraction of lumican from the amniotic membrane (AM) and their storing conditions as AM extract (AME) at -20 °C, 4 °C, and room temperature (RT) for 6, 12, 20, and 32 days to quantify its proteins and lumican...

Reprogramming Primary Amniotic Fluid and Membrane Cells to Pluripotency in Xeno-free Conditions

This protocol describes the reprogramming of primary amniotic fluid and membrane mesenchymal stem cells into induced pluripotent stem cells using a non-integrating episomal approach in fully chemically defined conditions. Procedures of extraction, culture, reprogramming, and characterization of the resulting induced pluripotent stem cells by stringent methods are...
