Subcutaneous implantation of a TheraCyte device (gray box, centre) supported by host vasculature allows various cell types to be implanted in recipient hosts allowing for long-term tissue survival as well as extended release of extracellular vesicles (Evs), cytokines and growth factors (circles on right). Injured tissue such as infarcted myocardium benefits from systemic delivery of secretome and paracrine factors (pink shaded regions).
