Development of combined magnetic resonance imaging and bioluminescence imaging to study stem cell migration and survival in mouse brain after neurotrauma.

In this study, we aim to investigate whether genetic modification of exogenous stem cells with chemokine receptors enhances their migration towards lesions in brain tissue.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bioluminescence imaging (BLI) technology will be used and validated to visualize migration and survival of grafted stem cells in vivo.
