Monitoring Steady Flow Effects on Cell Distribution in Engineered Valve Tissues by Magnetic Resonance Imaging by Catalina Martinez, Angela Henao, Jose E. Rodriguez, Kyle R. Padgett, Sharan Ramaswamy

“…We labeled human vascular smooth muscle (SMCs), endothelial (ECs), and bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) microparticles and visualized them using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) under steady flow. We determined that vascular cells were able to remain reasonably viable and proliferate well after being labeled with SPIO microparticles (200 μg/mL) for 48 hours. …”
