Method for selection of cells using photosensitizers

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We cultured neural stem/progenitor cells, mesenchymal stem cells. We measured the uptake of photosensitizer dyes into those cells. Those cells were injured by reactive oxygen species (ROS) evolved under illumination of strong actinic light. Various informations about injury of those cells were obtained, although the method to select immature and differentiated cells was still in development. Further effort is necessary to establish the method, including the establishment of related experimental conditions.
