Amniotic Fluid-Derived Stem Cells (AFSCs) are gaining attention in regenerative medicine due to their pluripotency. These cells are derived from amniotic fluid, offering a non-invasive alternative for stem cell research and therapy. AFSCs show potential in tissue repair and regeneration, but challenges like low differentiation rates and immune rejection remain. Research is ongoing to address these limitations and explore their full therapeutic potential.
