Sustained subcutaneous delivery of secretome of human cardiac stem cells promotes cardiac repair following myocardial infarction

Abstract

Subcutaneous implantation of TheraCyte devices encapsulating human W8B2+ CSCs attenuated adverse cardiac remodelling and preserved cardiac function following myocardial infarction. The TheraCyte device can be employed to deliver stem cells in a minimally invasive manner for effective secretome-based cardiac therapy.
