Abstract EN
Since the 1960s, the stem cells have been extensively studied including embryonic stem cells, neural stem cells, bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, and mesenchymal stem cells.
In the recent years, several stem cells have been initially used in the treatment of diseases, such as in bone marrow transplant.
At the same time, isolation and culture experimental technologies for stem cell research have been widely developed in recent years.
In addition, molecular imaging technologies including optical molecular imaging, positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, and computed tomography have been developed rapidly in recent the 10 years and have also been used in the research on disease mechanism and evaluation of treatment of disease related with stem cells.
This paper will focus on recent typical isolation, culture, and observation techniques of stem cells followed by a concise introduction.
Finally, the current challenges and the future applications of the new technologies in stem cells are given according to the understanding of the authors, and the paper is then concluded.
