The increasing interest for the use of stem cells in regenerative medicine, is based on their self-renewal capacity, tissue repair and immunomodulation. The therapy with stem cells is a science in formation considered a promising therapeutic alternative for the treatment of various degenerative, hereditary and inflammatory disorders. The search for alternative sources of stem cells of easy obtention and isolation has led to the study of various tissues, includng embryonic attachments such as the amniotic membrane. However for effective therapeutic application are needed studies of the characteristics in vitro and preclinical and clinical trials. Thus, the aim of this study was a literature review regarding the characterization and clinical application of stem cells from the amniotic membrane in several domestic animal species.
