Using sugar molecules for in vivo tracking of unlabeled stem cells

A Johns Hopkins Medicine scientist who spent 30 years figuring out how to put chemical labels into cells to track their movement in living tissues has found that certain self-renewing stem cells have built-in tracers - made out of sugars - that can do the job without added chemical "labels" when injected into mouse brains.
