MRI tracking of autologous pancreatic progenitor-derived insulin-producing cells in monkeys

Abstract Insulin-producing cells (IPCs) derived from a patient’s own stem cells offer great potential for autologous transplantation in diabetic patients. However, the limited survival of engrafted cells remains a bottleneck in the application of this strategy. The present study aimed to investigate...
