In vivo imaging of stem cells and Beta cells using direct cell labeling and reporter gene methods.
Cellular transplantation therapy offers a means to stimulate cardiovascular repair either by direct (graft-induced) or indirect (host-induced) tissue regeneration or angiogenesis. Typically, autologous or donor cells of specific subpopulations are expanded exogenously before administration to enrich the cells most likely to participate in tissue repair. In animal models of cardiovascular diseas...
متن کاملIn vitro and in vivo bioluminescence reporter gene imaging of human embryonic stem cells.
The discovery of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) has dramatically increased the tools available to medical scientists interested in regenerative medicine. However, direct injection of hESCs, and cells differentiated from hESCs, into living organisms has thus far been hampered by significant cell death, teratoma formation, and host immune rejection. Understanding the in vivo hESC behavior aft...
متن کاملIn Vivo SPECT Reporter Gene Imaging of Regulatory T Cells
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) were identified several years ago and are key in controlling autoimmune diseases and limiting immune responses to foreign antigens, including alloantigens. In vivo imaging techniques including intravital microscopy as well as whole body imaging using bioluminescence probes have contributed to the understanding of in vivo Treg function, their mechanisms of action and t...
متن کاملReporter for Tracking Stem Cells In Vivo
Far-red fluorescent reporter genes can be used for tracking cells non-invasively in vivo 13 using fluorescence imaging. Here, we investigate the effectiveness of the far-red fluorescent 14 protein, E2-Crimson (E2C), for tracking mouse embryonic cells (mESCs) in vivo following 15 subcutaneous administration into mice. Using a knock-in strategy, we introduced E2C into the 16 Rosa26 locus of an E1...
متن کاملStem Cells So far! Stem Cell Therapy Facts and Principles
Stem cells are cells with the ability to divide for indefinite periods and to give rise to specialized cells. Stem cell therapy has now been emerged as an extraordinary promise to treat a wide range of diseases and conditions. However, except blood stem cell transfer by bone marrow transplant which has been used as an standard practice for more than 50 years, nearly all of therapeutic potenti...
