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 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 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...
متن کاملAutomatic in Vivo Cell Detection in MRI
Due to recent advances in cell-based therapies, non-invasive monitoring of in vivo cells in MRI is gaining enormous interest. However, to date, the monitoring and analysis process is conducted manually and is extremely tedious, especially in the clinical arena. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel computer vision-based learning approach that creates superpixel-based 3D models for candidate sp...
متن کاملIn vivo Tracking of Dendritic Cell using MRI Reporter Gene, Ferritin
The noninvasive imaging of dendritic cells (DCs) migrated into lymph nodes (LNs) can provide helpful information on designing DCs-based immunotherapeutic strategies. This study is to investigate the influence of transduction of human ferritin heavy chain (FTH) and green fluorescence protein (GFP) genes on inherent properties of DCs, and the feasibility of FTH as a magnetic resonance imaging (MR...
