Transplantation via Intravenous Injection

For an intravenous injection, stem cells are added to physiological saline and injected into the blood stream where they travel throughout the body and reach the injured tissues.

With this method, less stem cells reach the target area, but the capillary blood vessels distribute the cells across the injured area. However, because the concentration of cells arriving at the target organ is relatively low, intravenous administration is generally combined with other methods.
