First images of human endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) obtained at synchrotron ALBA

Researchers from the VHIR and our group obtained first images of human endothelial progenitor cells by Transmission Soft X-ray Microscopy at ALBA Synchrotron.

The experiment, performed at the MISTRAL beamline leaded by Dr. Eva Pereiro, allowed us to image whole Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPC) containing iron oxide nanoparticles by perfoming X-ray cryo-tomography

The experiment was undertaken by Estela Serra, Anna Laromaine and Anna Roig from our group and Anna Rosell from the Neurovascular Research Laboratory, Institut de Recerca Hospital Vall d’Hebron (VHIR).
