An object of the present invention is to provide a cell population comprising adherent cells having low differentiation capacity derived from a fetal appendage, methods for producing or using the same, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the cell population, in particular wherein the proportion of CD73- and CD90-positive adherent cells derived from a fetal appendage is 90% or more; and the cell population satisfies a relative expression level of LFA-3 gene to the expression level of SDHA gene of 1.0 or more, in particular wherein the relative expression level of HAPLN1 gene to the expression level of SDHA gene is 4.0 or more and/or the relative expression level of CCND2 gene to the expression level of SDHA gene is 1.5 or less, in particular wherein the proportion of the STRO-1-negative adherent cells derived from a fetal appendage is 95% or more.

A method of treating ischemia in a subject in need thereof is disclosed. The method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of adherent cells of a tissue selected from the group consisting of a placenta and an adipose tissue, thereby treating the ischemia in the subject. A method of treating a medical condition requiring connective tissue regeneration and/or repair is also disclosed.

Disclosed herein is a method or a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of dry eye disease or corneal wound healing, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of secretome of amniotic fluid stem cells. Also provided is a use of secretome of amniotic fluid stem cells for manufacturing a medicament for the treatment of dry eye disease or corneal wound healing.

Provided herein is a placental product comprising an immunocompatible amniotic membrane. Such placental products can be cryopreserved and contain viable therapeutic cells after thawing. The placental product of the present invention is useful in treating a patient with a tissue injury (e.g. wound or burn) by applying the placental product to the injury. Similar application is useful with ligament and tendon repair and for engraftment procedures such as bone engraftment.
