lüll Methods to assess stem cell lineage, fate and function Nguyen PK; Nag D; Wu JCAdv Drug Deliv Rev 2010[Sep]; 62 (12): 1175-86Stem cell therapy has the potential to regenerate injured tissue. For stem cells to achieve their full therapeutic potential, stem cells must differentiate into the target cell, reach the site of injury, survive, and engraft. To fully characterize these cells, evaluation of cell morphology, lineage specific markers, cell specific function, and gene expression must be performed. To monitor survival and engraftment, cell fate imaging is vital. Only then can organ specific function be evaluated to determine the effectiveness of therapy. In this review, we will discuss methods for evaluating the function of transplanted cells for restoring the heart, nervous system, and pancreas. We will also highlight the specific challenges facing these potential therapeutic areas.|*Cell Lineage[MESH]|*Stem Cell Transplantation[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Cell Differentiation[MESH]|Heart Diseases/metabolism/therapy[MESH]|Hematopoietic Stem Cells/*physiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Nervous System Diseases/metabolism/therapy[MESH]|Pancreatic Diseases/metabolism/therapy[MESH]|Regeneration[MESH]|Stem Cells/*physiology[MESH] |
