The homing effect refers to the physiological phenomenon in which, after being administered into the body, stem cells spontaneously locate damaged or inflamed tissue, accumulate there, and promote repair and regeneration.
Stem cells administered intravenously travel throughout the body via the peripheral blood circulation, reaching the site of injury through the lymphatic system and blood vessels. There, they adhere to the vascular endothelium, infiltrate the surrounding tissue, and then undergo proliferation and differentiation to transform into the target cells.
