uptake into cells is expected, although in the respective article the internalization of the iron particles has not been confirmed by means of electron microscopy. To date we can not elucidate the molecular mechanisms leading to the SPIO-mediated CD71 upregulation in rat MSCs. However, two completely independent teams have demonstrated that labeling with iron particles can have an impact on stem cell biology, which is the essential point. After transplanting labeled MSCs in humans, the integrity of functionality including issues of safety is crucial for the patients, so critical and all-embracing research is mandatory. The previous work, especially from the authors of the two letters, is encouraging and valuable, but further investigations on interactions of stem cell labeling are required, since even for TAs like poly-l-lysine not all safety concerns (5, 6) have been adequately addressed.
