Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Tracking transplanted cells in vivo is crucial for cell-based therapy development and monitoring.
  • Current methods face challenges in achieving single-cell resolution and precise localization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel nanobubble (NB)-based acoustic labeling strategy for ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM).
  • To enable real-time, super-resolution tracking of transplanted cells within tumors.
  • To identify the specific vasculature responsible for cell delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Development of stable, biocompatible poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) nanobubbles (NBs) for intracellular uptake.
  • Utilizing ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) for real-time visualization and trajectory reconstruction of NB-labeled cells.
  • Integration of cell trajectory data with super-resolution vascular maps.

Main Results:

  • Nanobubbles (NBs) were efficiently internalized by cells, generating strong intracellular ultrasound signals.
  • ULM successfully visualized and tracked individual NB-labeled bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells in murine breast cancer models.
  • NB labeling allowed for the identification of specific blood vessels responsible for cell delivery, while unlabeled cells were undetectable.

Conclusions:

  • The NB-based acoustic labeling strategy enables precise, single-cell scale tracking of transplanted cells in vivo.
  • This clinically compatible imaging approach expands ULM applications beyond vascular mapping.
  • Provides a platform for dynamic, high-resolution monitoring of cell-based therapies.
