(a) Representative BLI images of the mice injected with Magnelle and Molday ION labeled reporter gene-transduced iCMs or PBS alone as control, after days 7 and 14 of cell injections (top) and their corresponding in vivo MRI images of the murine hearts (bottom); red arrows show the signal from the injected labeled cells. (b) Representative BLI images of the selected mice with dead cardiomyocytes (after day 14 of Magnelle labeled cells) and the corresponding in vivo MRI images.
