Gaining Mechanistic Insights into Cell Therapy Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

摘要: Cell therapy remains a promising approach to treat neurological disorders with evidence of clinical efficacy emerging. However, the mechanisms underlying recovery and conditions achieve therapeutic success are poorly understood. Uncovering putative their interaction is essential progress cell from an interesting possibility robust consistent treatment that can be used large cohorts patients. Although there heavy focus on stem biology, relatively little effort has been dedicated understanding in vivo underlie efficacy. In imaging development appropriate biomarkers will gain better mechanistic disease. The availability magnetic resonance setting its use animal models allow for as unique platform studies translational context.
