PET Demonstrates Functional Recovery After Transplantation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in a Rat Model of Cerebral Ischemic Injury

Abstract

(18)F-FDG small-animal PET demonstrated metabolic recovery after iPSC and ESC transplantation in the rat model of cerebral ischemia. iPSCs could be considered a potentially better therapeutic approach than ESCs and are worthy of further translational investigation.
