Resumen: | In recent years, stem cell-mediated therapies have gained considerable ground as potential treatments for a wide variety of brain pathologies including traumatic brain injury, stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Despite extensive preclinical studies, many of these therapies have not been fully translated into viable clinical approaches. This is partly due to our inability to reliably track and monitor transplanted stem cells longitudinally over long periods of time in vivo. In this review, we discuss the predominant histological cell tracing methodologies, such as immunohistochemistry, and fluorescent cellular dyes and proteins, and compare them to emerging cellular imaging technologies. We show that advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have resulted in opportunities to use this technology to further our understanding of stem cell characteristics and behaviors in vivo. While MRI may not completely replace conventional cell tracking methods in pre-clinical, mechanistic work, it is clear that it has the potential to function as a powerful diagnostic tool for tracking stem cell migration and survival as well as for evaluating the efficacy of stem cell-mediated therapies. |
