The evaluation of stem cell–mediated cardiomyoplasty by noninvasive in vivo imaging is
critical for its clinical application. We hypothesized that dual-tracer small-animal SPECT …

Purpose A promising SPECT-based method for evaluating stem cells therapy uses 111 In-
labelled cells, transfected with a reporter gene. Cells are first transplanted to the infarct, and …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown therapeutic potential if successfully delivered
to the intended site of myocardial infarction. The purpose of this pilot study was to test the …

Background—Recent results from animal studies suggest that stem cells may be able to
home to sites of myocardial injury to assist in tissue regeneration. However, the histological …

Cell therapy–induced changes in the perfusion of areas of myocardial infarction (MI) remain
unclear. This study investigated whether an original pinhole SPECT technique could be …

Imaging Stem Cells Implanted in Infarcted Myocardium Rong Zhou, Paul D. Acton, Victor A.
Ferrari Stem cell–based cellular cardiomyoplasty represents a promising therapy for …

This pilot trial aimed to investigate the utilization of 111 In-labeling of mesenchymal stromal
cells (MSC) for in vivo tracking after intramyocardial transplantation in a xenotransplantation …

Stem cell therapy on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been performed for over a
decade. In the present study, cardiac perfusion, metabolism and function in dogs with AMI …

A growing number of exciting animal and preclinical studies are beginning to reveal the
immense potential in stem cell–based therapies, particularly in the area of treating …

Transplantation of progenitor cells (PCs) has been shown to improve neovascularization
and left ventricular function after myocardial ischemia. The fate of transplanted PCs has …
