Abstract

These preclinical studies of ferumoxytol-labeled neural stem cells (NSCs) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cell tracking led to U.S. FDA approval for first-in-human use of this labeling method for NSCs transplanted into brain tumor patients. Ferumoxytol labeling of NSCs did not affect cell viability, growth kinetics, or tumor tropism, and enabled MRI visualization of NSC distribution in vivo. These studies support the clinical development of ferumoxytol labeling of cells for post-transplant MRI visualization and tracking.
