Amniotic fluid has been used in prenatal diagnosis for more than decades. It yields a simple and reliable screening and diagnostic tool for a variety of congenital malformations and genetic diseases such as chromosomal aberrations, neural tube defects or storage diseases. Nowadays the widening knowledge provides evidence that amniotic fluid is not only a screening and diagnostic tool, but it may be also the source of the effective therapy of several congenital and adult disorders. A subset of cells, the so-called stem cells were found in the amniotic fluid as well as the placenta, and they proved to be capable of maintaining prolonged undifferentiated proliferation. Stem cells are able to differentiate into multiple tissue types, originating from the three germ layers. In the near future stem cells isolated from amniotic fluid or placenta and stored by cryopreservation may play a significant role in regenerative medicine. Congenital malformations as well as certain diseases in adults might be treated by tissues coming from progenitor cells of amniotic fluid stem cell origin. This study gives a summary of the main characteristics of amniotic fluid stem cells and it also presents important examples of their possible clinical application. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 581–587.
