Abstract:
Following in vivo prelabeling of host macrophages with ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles, it was shown that their magnetic resonance (MR) imaging–visible migration into knee implants of scaffolded adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) undergoing apoptosis can serve as a surrogate marker of stem cell death.
