MRI detection of the malignant transformation of stem cells through reporter gene expression driven by a tumor-specific promoter

Abstract Background Existing evidence has shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can undergo malignant transformation, which is a serious limitation of MSC-based therapies. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor malignant transformation of MSCs via a noninvasive imaging method. Although reporter ge...
