This patent covers the use of stromal cells for delivery of genes. Stromal cells can migrate systemically and when transfected with genes can serve as a stable source of protein production in a patient.
I wonder what the difference is between the stromal cells described in this patent and the mesenchymal stem cells covered by Osiris?
