Embryonic stem cell grafting in normal and infarcted myocardium: serial assessment with MR imaging and PET dual detection.
Radiology 250(3):821-9 (2009) PMID 19244049
To use magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and positron emission tomography (PET) dual detection of cardiac-grafted embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to examine (a) survival and proliferation of ESCs in normal and infarcted myocardium, (b) host macrophage versus grafted ESC contribution to serial MR imaging signal over time, and (c) cardiac function associated with the formation of grafts and whether improvement in cardiac function is related to cardiac differentiation of ESCs.
