Evaluation of the efficacy of FDG-PET/CT in assessing the effects of BMMSC treatment in aged rhesus monkeys by Yaohui Zhang, Jie Li, Longbao Lü, Yuanyuan Li, Zhiyu Yang, Shici Yang, Xiangqing Zhu, Rui He, Xinghua Pan, Gaohong Zhu

“…In aged rhesus monkeys treated with BMMSCs, PET texture features in the brain, bilateral retroocular fat, left lung, gastric sinus, and L4 vertebrae recovered to levels comparable to those of the young group at both the 3- and 6-month post-treatment time points. Additionally, histological examination via HE staining of the lung, liver, kidney, stomach, and thymus in the aged group at 6 months post-treatment revealed significant improvements in the structural integrity of these organs.These findings suggest that 18F -FDG PET texture analysis is a valuable tool for assessing the restoration of physiological function in aged rhesus monkeys following BMMSC treatment.…”
