Stem Cell Imaging: Tools to Improve Cell Delivery and Viability

Abstract EN

Stem cell therapy (SCT) has shown very promising preclinical results in a variety of regenerative medicine applications.

Nevertheless, the complete utility of this technology remains unrealized.

Imaging is a potent tool used in multiple stages of SCT and this review describes the role that imaging plays in cell harvest, cell purification, and cell implantation, as well as a discussion of how imaging can be used to assess outcome in SCT.

We close with some perspective on potential growth in the field.
