The placenta and fetal membranes as sources of multipotent fetal stem cells. Enlarged schematic views of the placenta with focus on the chorionic plate and chorionic villi and of the extra-embryonic membranes: the maternal decidua parietalis, the chorion laeve, and the amniotic membrane consisting of the outer layer with amniotic membrane mesenchymal stem cells (AM-MSCs), the cell-free basement membrane and the inner layer of amniotic epithelial cells (AECs)
