Early stem cell engraftment predicts late cardiac functional recovery: preclinical insights from molecular imaging.
Circ Cardiovasc Imaging. 2012; (4): 481-90
Human cardiac progenitor cells have demonstrated great potential for myocardial repair in small and large animals, but robust methods for longitudinal assessment of their engraftment in humans is not yet readily available. In this study, we sought to optimize and evaluate the use of positron emission tomography (PET) reporter gene imaging for monitoring human cardiac progenitor cell (hCPC) transplantation in a mouse model of myocardial infarction.
