<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide isolated placental stem cells, populations of placental stem cells, compositions comprising the stem cells, and methods for obtaining the stem cells. <P>SOLUTION: The invention provides isolated stem cells, and cell populations comprising such stem cells, wherein the stem cells are isolatable from placental tissue (e.g., amnion, chorion, placental lobe, etc.). The placental stem cells exhibit one or more characteristics of a stem cell (e.g., exhibit markers associated with stem cells, replicate at least 10-20 times in culture state in an undifferentiated state, differentiate into adult cells representative of the three germ layers, etc.), and can adhere to a tissue culture substrate (e.g., tissue culture plastic such as the surface of a tissue culture dish or multiwell plate). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
