| Research Abstract |
In this study, msenchymal cells were isolated from the amnion and they were then induced to osteogenic differentiation. The cells demonstrated exellent osteogenic differentiation abitiy that suggested the cell would be applicated to bone tissue engineering. In addition, on the animal study assuming application of dried amniotic membrane to cleft of palate operation, the effect of the membrane on jaw growth following palate operation was indicated. These results suggested that the amion would be a useful material for the treatment of cleft of lip and palate patients.
