Clinically translatable cell tracking and quantification by MRI in cartilage repair using superparamagnetic iron oxides.

BACKGROUND: Articular cartilage has very limited intrinsic regenerative capacity, making cell-based therapy a tempting approach for cartilage repair. Cell tracking can be a major step towards unraveling and improving the repair process of these therapies. We studied superparamagnetic iron oxides (SP...
