Magnetic resonance imaging of iron oxide labelled stem cells: applications to tissue engineering based regeneration of the intervertebral disc.
Eur Cell Mater. 2008;16:17-25 Authors: Saldanha KJ, Piper SL, Ainslie KM, Kim HT, Majumdar S Minimally-invasive monitoring of regeneration in diseased tissue is an important aspect of stem cell therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based tracking of cells labelled with ferumoxides has the potential for non-invasive in vivo detection and longitudinal assessment of implanted cells.…
