Zusammenfassung

Optical imaging (OI)is being employed for investigations of molecular and cellular processes, but it has only limited spatial resolution.The group of Dr. Hoehn was the first to report the in vivo monitoring of the migration of stem cells, labeled with MRI contrast agent. This was achieved using localization of implanted cells with MRI at high spatial resolution. Here it is intended to bundle expertise of two major imaging and molecular biology laboratories to realize not only localization of the cells but also to provide the spatial and temporal characterization of the functional statu...
