¹²³ I-Iomazenil Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Visualizes Recovery of Neuronal Integrity by Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Therapy in Rat Infarct Brain

Abstract

The present findings strongly suggest that the BMSCs may enhance functional recovery by improving the neuronal integrity in the peri-infarct area, when directly transplanted into the infarct brain at clinically relevant timing. (123)I-IMZ single photon emission computed tomography may be a promising modality to scientifically prove the beneficial effects of BMSC transplantation on the host brain in clinical situation.
