Hydrogel scaffolding of stem cells is a promising strategy to overcome initial cell loss and manipulate cell function post-transplantation. Matrix degradation is a requirement for downstream cell differentiation and functional tissue integration, which determines therapeutic outcome. Therefore, monitoring of hydrogel degradation is essential for scaffolded cell replacement therapies. We show here that chemical exchange saturation transfer magnetic resonance imaging (CEST MRI) can be used as a la ...[more]
