Figure 2 Intramuscular administration of mesenchymal stem cells mediates a paracrine mechanism of distal organ repair. The paracrine cascade initiated by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is illustrated by blue arrows. TLR3 priming by poly (I:C) generates a super MSC phenotype through amplification of paracrine factors, which enhances MSC potency for cardiac repair (indicated by triple green plus signs). Supporting data have been published[6,30,31,45,126].
