Non-Invasive Whole Body Cell Tracking
1) Are stem cells being delivered/injected correctly? 2) How many stem cells have been correctly delivered/homed into
the target organ? 3) For how long do stem cells survive? 4) Do stem cells replicate following administration including the
formation of unwanted neoplasms/teratomas? 5) Do stem cells differentiate in vivo, and if so, when does this
occur?
