In vivo MRI-Based Cell Tracking Using Bio-MPIOs
INTRODUCTION: Previously, we described the fabrication of PLGA encapsulated iron oxide nanoand microparticles (Nkansah, et al, ISMRM 2010). These particles are important advancements for molecular and cellular MRI for a number of reasons. First, they incorporate large amounts of iron, especially relative to dextran coated (U)SPIO. Secondly, PLGA has favorable degradation characteristics, with p...
متن کاملClinical Stem Cell Imaging and In vivo Tracking
The field of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine is rapidly moving toward translation to clinical application (Gholamrezanezhad, Bagheri et al. 2007; Gholamrezanezhad, Mirpour et al. 2011). Stem cells are able to perform restorative functions in patients with different disorders and hence stem cell therapy may be a potential alternative to some of the current modalities of treatment, su...
متن کاملLimitations of iron-based stem cell tracking in MRI-monitoring of stem cell therapies in vivo
Introduction. Treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as stroke continues to be an elusive goal for the medical community. While stem cells hold great promise for neuroregeneration, their migration and mechanism of repair are yet to be clearly defined. Literature suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) can be influenced to differentiate into neural cells in-vitro [1]. Several strategies...
متن کاملIn vivo fiber tracking in the rabbit brain on a clinical 3T MRI system
Introduction: The white matter structure of the developing rabbit brain has been studied recently in great detail in vitro by using high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging and tractography [1] with an animal MR scanner. Both the simple structure of the lissencephalic rabbit brain and the reproducibility of ex vivo fiber tracking make the rabbit model a powerful tool for neuroscience investigat...
متن کاملApplications of Quantum Dots in Cell Tracking
Tracking cells after transplantation is always one the main concerns of researchers in the field of regenerative medicine. Finding a tracer with long stability and low cytotoxicity can be considered as a solution for this issue. Semiconductor nanocrystals, also called quantum dots (QDs), have unique photophysical properties which make them as suitable candidate in this setting. Broad-range exci...
