Increased Understanding of Stem Cell Behavior in Neurodegenerative and Neuromuscular Disorders by Use of Noninvasive Cell Imaging

<div>Typical examples of <sup>11</sup>C-NMSP micro-PET imaging in various conditions. Coronal and axial sections of rat brain are shown. White cross markers in the coronal and axial sections indicate the same position in a scan. (a) Typical image of <sup>11</sup>C-NMSP micro-PET in normal rat brain showing high <sup>11</sup>C-NMSP accumulation in striatum. (b) L/N ratio of <sup>11</sup>C-NMSP decreased after traumatic brain injury. (c) High accumulation of <sup>11</sup>C-NMSP indicated the existence of transplanted DRD2-positive NSCs [<a href="/journals/sci/2016/6235687/#B69">70</a>].</div>
