Fetal membrane itself serves as a unique biocompatible scaffold for bioengineering applications. These membranes are used as biological bandages for skin grafts.
Erythroblastosis Fetalis - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment & Prevention
Erythroblastosis fetalis occurs due to Rh incompatibility between the mother and the fetus, resulting in severe anemia and sometimes death of the fetus.

‘Fetal membranes contains a variety of stem cells which might be used to treat cardiovascular and neurological disease, diabetes and other medical conditions.’
"The fetal membranes have been used successfully in medical applications for over a century, but we continue to discover new properties of these membranes," said Dr. Rebecca Lim, author of the STEM CELLS Translational Medicine review. "The stem cell populations arising from the fetal membranes are plentiful and diverse, while the membrane itself serves as a unique biocompatible scaffold for bioengineering applications.""

New Prenatal DNA Test Helps Detect Chromosomal Anomalies Accurately
Researchers in Boston have come up with a new DNA test that helps detect Down Syndrome and other diseases more accurately in foetus compared to the traditional procedures followed at present.

NIPT Detects More Than 80 Percent of Chromosomal Abnormalities: Study
Researchers will report that noninvasive prenatal testing detected 83.2 percent of chromosomal abnormalities normally picked up by invasive diagnostic testing strategies, such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis.

New Prenatal Test Proposed as Standard of Care
A new genetic test resulted in significantly more clinically relevant information than the current standard method of prenatal testing, a clinical trial has revealed.
