Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Magnetically labeled embryonic stem cells tracked both in vitro and in vivo
October 5th, 2006
Magnetically-labeled embryonic stem cells may be tracked both in vitro and in vivo. "Human embryonic stem cells (hES) have emerged as a potentially new therapeutic approach for treatment of heart and other diseases applying the concept of regenerative medicine. A method for in vivo visualization and tracking of transplanted hES would increase our understanding, of in vivo hES behavior in both experimental and clinical settings. "The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of magnetic labeling and visualization of hES with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). hES were established and expanded according to standard procedures," scientists...
