Monitoring cell infiltration into the myocardial infarction site using micrometer-sized iron oxide particles-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging

The cell infiltration into the myocardial infarction (MI) site was studied using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with micrometer-sized iron oxide particles (MPIO) as cell labeling probes. MI is a leading cause of global death and disability. However, the roles of inflammatory cells and stem cells d...
