| abstract |
Therapy is provided to living tissue by contacting the living tissue with at least one reservoir loaded with cells or a therapeutic composition, wherein the reservoir is in fluid communication with at least one conduit that includes a refilling port. A constituent selected from (a) cells, (b) bioagents from the cells or (c) the therapeutic composition is released from the reservoir to the living tissue. The reservoir is then refilled with (i) cells, (ii) nutrients for cells, or (iii) additional therapeutic composition; and (a) cells, (b) bioagents from the cells or (c) the therapeutic composition continue to be released from the reservoir to the living tissue after the refilling. |
