Magnetic resonance imaging of human-derived amniotic membrane stem cells using PEGylated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles

ABSTRACT

Objective: the label and detection of cells injected into target tissues is an area of focus for researchers. Iron oxide nanoparticles can be used to label cells as they have special characteristics. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of iron oxide nanoparticles on human-derived amniotic membrane stem cell [hAMCs] survival and to investigate the magnetic properties of these nanoparticles with increased contrast in magnetic reso-nance imaging [MRI]
