Human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hAD-MSC) transplantation improves ovarian function in rats with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) at least partly through a paracrine mechanism

Chemotherapy can induce premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and reduce fertility in young female patients. Currently, there is no effective therapy for POI. Human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAD-MSCs) may be a promising seed cell for regenerative medicine. This study investigated the effects and mechanisms of hAD-MSC transplantation on chemotherapy-induced POI in rats. Chemotherapy-induced POI rat models were established by...
