Effect of fresh human amniotic membrane on radiation-induced wounds in a  murine experimental model

ConclusionsAfter biomechanical and histopathological evaluation, amniotic membrane, with its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, and epithelial-inductive effects, was found to be affective in post-radiation wound treatment. Due to the features of amniotic membrane mentioned above, it can be an option in treatment of patients which received neoadjuvant radiotherapy to prevent future wounds. It can also be used for the care and treatment of post-radiation wounds.Level of Evidence: Not ratable
