This patent covers a device that is implantable, and explantable, that can be used for administration of stem cells so that they will not be rejected by the host immune system. It will be interesting to use such devices with embryonic stem cells so as to allow the embryonic stem cells to secrete soluble factors in vivo that hopefully will possess rejuvenating ability.
