The
present study aimed to use in vivo MRS to track the long term changes and
consequences of purified neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in the brain.
Following transplantation, there were signal intensity changes over time at
the 1.28 ppm along with the NAA signal, which may represent the variations of
the functional status of the NPC biomarker.
