F-FDG Cell Labeling May Underestimate Transplanted Cell Homing: More Accurate, Efficient, and Stable Cell Labeling with Hexadecyl-4-[F]Fluorobenzoate for in Vivo Tracking of Transplanted Human Progenitor Cells by Positron Emission Tomography

F-FDG Cell Labeling May Underestimate Transplanted Cell Homing: More Accurate, Efficient, and Stable Cell Labeling with Hexadecyl-4-[F]Fluorobenzoate for in Vivo Tracking of Transplanted Human Progenitor Cells by Positron Emission Tomography

Cell therapy is expected to restore perfusion and improve function in the ischemic/infarcted myocardium; however, the biological mechanisms and local effects of transplanted cells remain unclear. To assess cell fate in vivo, hexadecyl-4-[ 18 F]fluorobenzoate ( 18 F-HFB) cell labeling was evaluated f...
