Description:
The identification of neural stem and progenitor cells (NPCs) by in vivo brain imaging could have important implications for diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic purposes. We describe a metabolic biomarker for the detection and quantification of NPCs in the human brain in vivo. We used proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to identify and characterize a biomarker in which NPCs are enriched and demonstrated its use as a reference for monitoring neurogenesis. To detect low concentrations of NPCs in vivo, we developed a signal processing method that enabled the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy for the analysis of the NPC biomarker in both the rodent brain and the hippocampus of live humans. Our findings thus open the possibility of investigating the role of NPCs and neurogenesis in a wide variety of human brain disorders.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4039561/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4039561/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Manganas, Louis N -- Zhang, Xueying -- Li, Yao -- Hazel, Raphael D -- Smith, S David -- Wagshul, Mark E -- Henn, Fritz -- Benveniste, Helene -- Djuric, Petar M -- Enikolopov, Grigori -- Maletic-Savatic, Mirjana -- 5K08 NS044276/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- K08 NS044276/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- K08 NS044276-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS032764/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01-NS32764/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R21 NS053875/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R21 NS053875-01A1/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R21NS05875-1/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- T32DK07521-16/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Nov 9;318(5852):980-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉SUNY Stony Brook, Stony Brook, NY 11794, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17991865" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
