Molecular Imaging Used To Track Stem Cells In Tumors
Researchers at Society of Nuclear Medicine's 55th Annual Meeting, June 14-18, say that new therapies offer promise for patients
Using noninvasive molecular imaging technology, a method has been developed to track the location and activity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the tumors of living organisms, according to researchers at SNM's 55th Annual Meeting. This ability could lead to major advances in the use of stem cell therapies to treat cancer.
