Design principles for noninvasive, longitudinal and quantitative cell tracking with nanoparticle-based CT imaging.
Contradictory results in clinical trials are preventing the advancement and implementation of cell-based therapy. To explain such results, there is a need to uncover the mystery regarding the fate of the transplanted cells. To answer this need, we developed a technique for noninvasive in vivo cell tracking, which uses gold nanoparticles as contrast agents for CT imaging. Herein, we investigate ...
متن کاملmagnetic resonance imaging of transplanted stem cell fate in stroke
nowadays, scientific c findings in the field of regeneration of nervous system have revealed the possibility of stem cell based therapies for damaged brain tissue related disorders like stroke. furthermore, to achieve desirable outcomes from cellular therapies, one needs to monitor the migration, engraftment, viability, and also functional fate of transplanted stem cells. magnetic resonance ima...
متن کاملNoninvasive tracking of gene expression by reporter transgene imaging.
I n this issue of PNAS, the laboratory that discovered leptin (1) reports the development of a novel in vivo imaging strategy that permits noninvasive estimation of leptin expression (2). They have engineered a BAC transgenic mouse strain expressing a luciferase reporter gene under the control of adipocyte-specific leptin regulatory sequences. Because of the ample evidence of correlation betwee...
متن کاملNoninvasive Tracking of Donor Cell Homing by Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging Shortly after Bone Marrow Transplantation
BACKGROUND Many diseases associated with bone marrow transplantation (BMT) are caused by transplanted hematopoietic cells, and the onset of these diseases occurs after homing of donor cells in the initial phase after BMT. Noninvasive observation of donor cell homing shortly after transplantation is potentially valuable for improving therapeutic outcomes of BMT by diagnosing the early stages of ...
متن کاملOptions for tracking GFP-Labeled transplanted myoblasts using in vivo fluorescence imaging: implications for tracking stem cell fate
BACKGROUND Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a useful biomarker, widely used in biomedical research to track stem cells after transplantation and/or to assess therapeutic transgene expression. However, both GFP and therapeutic gene products themselves may be immunogenic to the recipient. The main aim of this study was to use animal models to evaluate potential impact of GFP on the cell engraft...
