In vivo multi-modality tracking of the regenerative effects of the human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iCMs)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background In vivo multi-modality cellular and molecular imaging of the engrafted iCMs is necessary to characterize the engraftment and the regional effects on the viability of the injured myocardium. Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN)mediated integration of the reporter gene into the AAVS1 locus in the iCMs and manganese enhanced MRI (MEMRI) should allow precise in vivo detection of myocardial regeneration.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease which affects myelin in the central nervous system (CNS) and leads to serious disability. Currently available treatments for MS mainly suppress the immune system. Regenerative medicine-based approaches attempt to increase myelin repair by targeting endogenous progenitors or transplanting stem cells or their derivatives. Fingolimod exerts anti-inf...

Therapeutic delivery of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (iCMs) represents a novel clinical approach to regenerate the injured myocardium. However, methods for robust and accurate in vivo monitoring of the iCMs are still lacking. Although superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs) are recognized as a promising tool for in vivo tracking of stem cells usin...

Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) have emerged as one of the most promising stem cell types for cardiac protection and repair. Exosomes are required for the regenerative effects of human CDCs and mimic the cardioprotective benefits of CDCs such as anti-apoptotic effect in animal myocardial infarction (MI) models. Here we aimed to investigate the anti-apoptotic effect of the hypoxic and normoxic...
