Initially it was hoped that transplanted cells would engraft and survive to assist tissues in repair and regeneration, but it has become clear that this is not how the therapies produce benefits. Rather it is a matter of signals generated by the transplanted cells in the short time they survive that beneficially alter the behavior of native cells.
