In past years there was an increasing interest by to know about the biodistribution of stem cells in organism after its perfusion or direct injection in a part of the body. Thus, we used different procedures including the cell labeling with distinct fluorochromes, such as the green fluorescence protein and the red fluorescence protein or a plasmid transfection codifying the fluorescent proteins of fluorescent molecular stents to identify the chromosomes. Recently non-invasive leading imaging techniques have been introduced including nuclear magnetic resonance. As well as procedures based on radionuclide labeling to obtain the positron emission tomography (PET) images or by photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT).

Keywords : Stem cells; cellular labeling; biodistribution; fluorescence; nuclear magnetic resonance; PET; SPECT.
