| Core Tip |
Non-invasive tracking of transplanted cells is crucial to understand the homing, distribution, and differentiation into the desired cell types contributing to organ regeneration. Lipophilic fluorescent dye DiD-labeled fetal hepatic progenitor cells (fHPCs) were transplanted into chronic liver disease mice livers. DiD labeling of cells enabled long-term and non-invasive tracking of transplanted cells in vivo up to 80 d. Immunostaining and colocalization using liver-specific markers with DiD confirmed the persistence of transplanted cells in mice liver post-transplantation. Transplanted fHPCs supported liver function recovery while identifying the Alu gene sequence revealed survival and engraftment of human cells within the mice liver. |
