Researchers Marcus Larsson, Andreas Herbst and Niels-Bjarne Woods have discovered new stem cells in amniotic fluid, which have unique characteristics for applications in regenerative medicine. Using a completely new method, these new stem cells can be collected and processed before being utilised in medical applications.

Cells from the amniotic fluid are unexploited resources that have been shown to be favorable for reprogramming to several other target tissues. These primitive cells are collected from a very oxygen-poor environment, which gives the cells good properties. Using this new technology retains the low oxygen level during collection and processing.
