Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have an essential role in counteracting risk factor-induced endothelial injury and protecting against the development of vascular injury, such as myocardial infarction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was reported to be effective in tracking transplanted stem cel...
