Big problems, small solutions podcast – Marc Masa on stem cell tracking

Scott McCormick (EVONANO, University of Bristol, UK) talks to Marc Masa (Leitat Technological Center, Barcelona, Spain) on stem cell tracking in the body using nanoparticles. Regenerative medicine is an ever growing field. There is a need to establish the safety and efficacy of cell-based treatments early on so that this field has the chance to expand. The nTRACK project from Leitat Technological Center uses a multimodal nanoimaging agent to track stem cells in the body in a highly sensitive and non-invasic manner. Questions: Could you please give a rundown of the nTRACK project? (0:19) These nanoparticles have an iron core...
