Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Description of Business	Organization and Description of Business Organization Humacyte, Inc. and subsidiaries (unless the context indicates otherwise, collectively, the “Company”) is pioneering the development and manufacture of off-the-shelf, universally implantable, bioengineered human tissues, advanced tissue constructs and organ systems with the goal of improving the lives of patients and transforming the practice of medicine. The Company is leveraging its regenerative medicine technology platform to develop proprietary product candidates for use in the treatment of diseases and conditions across a range of anatomic locations in multiple therapeutic areas. On August 26, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Alpha Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (“AHAC”) consummated a merger pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Humacyte, Inc. (“Legacy Humacyte”), AHAC and Hunter Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AHAC. As contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Humacyte, with Legacy Humacyte continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AHAC (such transactions, the “Merger,” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Reverse Recapitalization”). On the Closing Date, AHAC changed its name to Humacyte, Inc. and Legacy Humacyte changed its name to Humacyte Global, Inc. (“Global”). The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and under this method of accounting, AHAC was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes and Legacy Humacyte was treated as the acquirer. Operations prior to the Merger are those of Legacy Humacyte. Liquidity and Going Concern Since its inception in 2004, the Company has generated no product revenue and has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in each year. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and convertible debt, proceeds from the Reverse Recapitalization, borrowings under loan facilities, proceeds from a revenue interest purchase agreement and, to a lesser extent, through governmental and other grants. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $665.1 million and $537.3 million, respectively. The Company’s operating losses were $86.3 million and $73.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net cash flows used in operating activities were $71.5 million and $54.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Substantially all of the Company’s operating losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with the Company’s research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with the Company’s operations. On August 9, 2024, the FDA informed the Company that the FDA required additional time to complete its review of the Company’s BLA for the ATEV in adults as a vascular conduit for extremity arterial injury when urgent revascularization is needed to avoid imminent limb loss, and autologous vein graft is not feasible. The Company will have an additional $40.0 million available for draw under the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) upon the Company receiving FDA approval of the ATEV for the vascular trauma indication on or prior to December 31, 2024. The Company expects to incur substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future as the Company advances its product candidates. As further disclosed in Note 6, on May 12, 2023, Humacyte, Inc. and Global entered into a Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with two purchasers, both affiliates of Oberland Capital Management LLC (the “Purchasers”), and another affiliate of Oberland Capital Management LLC, as agent for the Purchasers, to obtain financing with respect to the further development and commercialization of the Company’s ATEV, to repay the Company’s then-existing credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), and for other general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2024, $62.1 million was recorded as a revenue interest liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants for transactions of this type, including, among others, the provision of financial and other information to the Purchaser, notice to the Purchaser upon the occurrence of certain material events, and compliance with applicable laws. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, including certain restrictions on the ability to incur indebtedness and grant liens or security interests on assets. On February 18, 2024, the Company reached an agreement with the Purchasers and the Agent to waive certain breaches related to, and extend the deadline for certain post-closing obligations under, the Purchase Agreement, including the requirement for the Company to deliver a leasehold mortgage in favor of the Agent over the Company’s headquarters. On May 8, 2024, the Company agreed with the Purchasers to amend the Purchase Agreement to remove requirements related to the leasehold mortgage. In exchange for removing this requirement, the Company agreed to fund an account in the amount of $54.0 million over which the Agent has certain consent and other rights to $50.0 million of the funds. The Company funded an account with the required $54.0 million on August 14, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the $50.0 million was classified as restricted cash on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company is required to evaluate whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance date of its financial statements. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $20.6 million and restricted cash of $50.4 million. As further disclosed in Note 8, on September 24, 2024, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) for an equity line financing (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”). The Common Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company has the sole right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), having an aggregate value of up to $50.0 million (the “Purchase Shares”) over a 24-month period. The Company controls the timing and amount of any sales of Purchase Shares to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement in its sole discretion. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $49.0 million in remaining availability for sales of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had completed sales of shares under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement that provided $1.0 million in gross proceeds, and as further disclosed in Note 13, from September 30, 2024 through November 8 2024, the Company completed sales of shares to Lincoln Park that provided $1.5 million in additional gross proceeds. As further disclosed in Note 13, on October 7, 2024, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $28.1 million in connection with the closing of the Registered Direct Offering (as defined in Note 13). As noted above, the Company funded the restricted cash account, in accordance with the amended Purchase Agreement, of which $50.0 million is not subject to the Company’s unilateral control. Based on current plans and assumptions, which exclude this $50.0 million of cash and the potential approval of the BLA from its forecasted liquidity, the Company will not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund its operations beyond one year from the issuance of these financial statements if the Company is unable to achieve approval of the ATEV and generate sufficient cash flows from commercial sales on a timely basis and/or obtain additional capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Company will, over the course of the next year, require additional financing to continue its operations. Adequate additional capital may not be available to the Company when needed or on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital when required, the Company may be required to reduce or discontinue its operations, sell assets, or cease all operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Sep. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The Company ’ s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in the financial statements include stock-based compensation costs, right-of-use assets, accruals for research and development activities, contingent earnout liability, revenue interest liability, derivatives, fair value of common stock warrants and income taxes. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related footnote disclosures are unaudited. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or any other period. The December 31, 2023 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not include all disclosures from the annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. There have been no significant changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 included in the Company ’ s Annual Report. Reclassifications Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Segments The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment. The Company is developing proprietary, bioengineered, acellular human tissues, advanced tissue constructs and organ systems that are designed to be used in the treatment of diseases and conditions across a range of anatomic locations in multiple therapeutic areas. The Company’s chief executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, including amounts classified as restricted cash. Total cash balances exceeded insured balances by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by monitoring the financial stability of the institutions holding material cash and cash equivalents balances. The Company maintains the majority of these balances at a Global Systemically Important Bank, as designated by the Financial Stability Board. As of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash equivalents held in highly rated money market funds that are invested only in obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies. The Company has not experienced any credit loss relating to its cash and cash equivalents. Restricted Cash The Company classifies as restricted cash all cash pledged as collateral to secure long-term obligations and all cash whose use is otherwise limited by contractual provisions. As of September 30, 2024, restricted cash includes $50.0 million maintained in an account that is not subject to the Company’s unilateral control, in accordance with the amended Purchase Agreement. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company classified $0.2 million in funds maintained in a separate deposit account to secure a letter of credit for the benefit of the lessor of the Company’s headquarters lease, and $0.1 million in cash balances held as collateral for the Company’s employee credit card program as restricted cash. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total of the amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. ($ in thousands) September 30, December 31, Cash and cash equivalents $ 20,571 $ 80,448 Restricted cash included in prepaid expenses and other current assets 144 144 Restricted cash included in long-term assets 50,209 209 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 70,924 $ 80,801 Employee Retention Credit The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provided refundable employee retention credits, which could be used to offset payroll tax liabilities. Under the provisions of the extension of the CARES Act, the Company qualified for the employee retention credit for the first three quarters of 2021, and the Company applied for the credit in February 2023. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP for accounting for grants to for-profit business entities, the Company accounted for the grant by applying Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 450, Contingencies . The Company received an employee retention credit of $3.1 million in July 2023, and recognized the credit as a component of other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss during the second quarter of 2023 after the Company received notices from the Internal Revenue Service specifying the amount of the credit receivable, and all uncertainties were resolved regarding receipt of the credit. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period without consideration of potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common Stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company unless inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. As the Company has incurred losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, basic and diluted net loss per share is the same for each period. The following potential shares of Common Stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for each period because including them would have had an antidilutive effect. Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 Exercise of options under stock plan 12,287,369 7,170,891 Warrants to purchase Common Stock 5,588,506 5,588,506 The 15,000,000 Contingent Earnout Shares, as defined in Note 8, are excluded from the anti-dilutive table for all periods presented, as such shares are contingently issuable until the share price of the Company exceeds specified thresholds that have not yet been achieved, or upon the occurrence of a change in control. The Option Agreement, as defined in Note 6 — Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement, is excluded from the anti-dilutive table for all periods presented based on the Company’s assumption that the Option Agreement will not be exercised unless the Company’s stock price exceeds $7.50 per share, the minimum purchase price under the Option Agreement. Other Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, successful discovery and development of its product candidates, the success of clinical trials and other studies for its product candidates, including its ongoing V007 and V012 Phase 3 clinical trials, the regulatory approval and commercialization of its ATEVs and other product candidates, the expected size of the target populations for the Company’s product candidates, the degree of market acceptance of the ATEVs, if approved, the availability of third-party coverage and reimbursement, development by competitors of new technological innovations, the ability to manufacture ATEVs and other product candidates in sufficient quantities, expectations regarding the Company’s strategic partnerships, dependence on third parties, key personnel and the ability to attract and retain qualified employees, protection of proprietary technology and confidentiality of trade secrets, compliance with governmental regulations, the Company’s implementation and maintenance of effective internal controls, and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations and the commercial success of its product candidates. Product candidates currently under development will require extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel, and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s commercialization efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales, and the Company may depend on certain strategic relationships to distribute its products, including the Company’s strategic partnership with Fresenius Medical Care, to sell, market and distribute its 6 millimeter ATEV for certain specified indications outside the United States. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). The FASB issued this update to improve the disclosures about an entity’s reportable segments, including providing more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses, enhancing interim disclosure requirements and providing new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Entities should apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This ASU is applicable to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 on its disclosures included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). The FASB issued this update to improve the transparency and comparability of income tax disclosures, including requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and further disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption is permitted. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. This ASU is applicable to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	Sep. 30, 2024
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures , establishes a hierarchy whereby inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value are prioritized, or the fair value hierarchy. There are three levels to the fair value hierarchy based on reliability of inputs, as follows: • Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. • Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these items. The Company evaluates assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them for each reporting period, utilizing valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The determination requires significant judgments to be made by the Company. The Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows: ($ in thousands) Fair Value Measured as of September 30, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents (money market funds) $ 13,465 $ — $ — $ 13,465 Common Stock Purchase Agreement derivative asset — 694 — 694 Total financial assets $ 13,465 $ 694 $ — $ 14,159 Liabilities: Contingent Earnout Liability $ — $ — $ 76,569 $ 76,569 Contingent derivative liability — — 3,105 3,105 Private Placement Warrants liability — — 374 374 Option Agreement liability — — 86 86 JDRF Agreement derivative liability — — 126 126 Total financial liabilities $ — $ — $ 80,260 $ 80,260 ($ in thousands) Fair Value Measured as of December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents (money market funds) $ 78,995 $ — $ — $ 78,995 Total financial assets $ 78,995 $ — $ — $ 78,995 Liabilities: Contingent Earnout Liability $ — $ — $ 37,916 $ 37,916 Contingent derivative liability — — 2,636 2,636 Private Placement Warrants liability — — 78 78 Option Agreement liability — — 35 35 JDRF Agreement derivative liability — — 28 28 Total financial liabilities $ — $ — $ 40,693 $ 40,693 The fair value of the Contingent Earnout Liability, Private Placement Warrants liability (each as defined in Note 8 — Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)), contingent derivative liability related to the Put Option (as defined in Note 6 — Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement and discussed below), Option Agreement liability (as defined in Note 6 — Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement), and the derivative liability associated with the JDRF Agreement Disposition Payment are based on significant unobservable inputs, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the Private Placement Warrants liability, the Option Agreement liability and the derivative liability associated with the JDRF Agreement Disposition Payment, are included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Common Stock Purchase Agreement The Company evaluated the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and determined that the agreement should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-40, “ Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity”. Accordingly, the Company recorded a derivative asset with an initial fair value based on the 115,705 shares of Common Stock issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase up to $50.0 million in shares of Common Stock. The initial fair value of $0.7 million was based on the closing price of the Common Stock on September 24, 2024, which was $6.12 per share, and the derivative asset is reported as a component of long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the derivative asset are dependent upon, among other things, changes in the closing share price of Common Stock, the quantity and purchase price of the shares purchased by Lincoln Park during the reporting period and the unused capacity under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The Common Stock Purchase Agreement is subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The change in fair value of the derivative asset between the September 24, 2024 issuance date and September 30, 2024 was insignificant. Contingent Earnout Liability The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Contingent Earnout Liability: ($ in thousands) Contingent Earnout Liability Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Fair value as of beginning of period $ (68,080) $ (38,457) $ (37,916) $ (27,893) Change in fair value included in other income (expense), net (8,489) (1,144) (38,653) (11,708) Fair value as of end of period $ (76,569) $ (39,601) $ (76,569) $ (39,601) In determining the fair value of the Contingent Earnout Liability, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation value model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over a 10-year period prioritizing the most reliable information available. The assumptions utilized in the calculation were based on the achievement of certain stock price milestones, including the current Common Stock price, expected volatility, risk-free rate, expected term and expected dividend yield (see Note 8 — Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)). Contingent earnout payments involve certain assumptions requiring significant judgment and actual results can differ from assumed and estimated amounts. Private Placement Warrants Liability The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants liability: Private Placement Warrants Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, ($ in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Fair value as of beginning of period $ (285) $ (158) $ (78) $ (80) Change in fair value included in other income (expense), net (89) 9 (296) (69) Fair value as of end of period $ (374) $ (149) $ (374) $ (149) In determining the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants liability, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model to estimate the fair value utilizing assumptions including the current Company stock price, expected volatility, risk-free rate, expected term and expected dividend yield (see Note 8 — Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)). Derivative liabilities Contingent derivative liability The debt pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as defined in Note 6, contains an embedded derivative related to the Put Option, as defined in Note 6, requiring bifurcation as a single compound derivative instrument. The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability using a “with-and-without” methodology. The “with-and-without” methodology involves valuing the whole instrument on an as-is basis and then valuing the instrument without the individual embedded derivative. The difference between the entire instrument with the embedded derivative compared to the instrument without the embedded derivative was the fair value of the derivative liability at issuance and each subsequent reporting period. In determining the fair value of the contingent derivative liability, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation value model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over a 10-year period. The estimated probability and timing of underlying events triggering the exercisability of the Put Option contained within the Purchase Agreement, forecasted cash flows and the discount rates are significant unobservable inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of the entire instrument with the embedded derivative. As of September 30, 2024, the discount rates used to calculate the value of the contingent derivative liability were 14.0% to calculate the present-value of the revenue forecast and 18.4% to calculate the present-value of the payoff of the Put Option. As of December 31, 2023, the discount rates used to calculate the value of the contingent derivative liability were 14.5% to calculate the present-value of the revenue forecast and 17.1% to calculate the present-value of the payoff of the Put Option. Changes in fair value of the contingent derivative liability are recognized as other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, classified in change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair value of the contingent derivative liability, which is classified as a Level 3 financial instrument. Contingent Derivative Liability Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, ($ in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Fair value as of beginning of period $ (4,266) $ (2,392) $ (2,636) $ — Fair value of embedded derivative upon issuance of debt — — (1,552) (2,354) Change in fair value included in other income (expense), net 1,161 (144) 1,083 (182) Fair value as of end of period $ (3,105) $ (2,536) $ (3,105) $ (2,536)

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement	Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement On May 12, 2023, the Company and Global entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Purchasers, and another affiliate of Oberland Capital Management LLC, as agent for the Purchasers, to obtain financing with respect to the further development and commercialization of the Company’s ATEV, to repay the Company’s then-existing credit facility with SVB, and for other general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on May 12, 2023, the Purchasers purchased certain revenue interests (the “Revenue Interests”) from Global in exchange for an aggregate investment amount of up to $150.0 million (the “Investment Amount”) to be paid in multiple tranches. On May 12, 2023, the Company received an initial payment of $40.0 million, less certain transaction expenses, which was used to repay in full the Company’s then-existing obligations under the Loan Agreement with SVB, as defined in Note 7 — Debt. In February 2024, the FDA accepted the Company’s BLA for an indication in vascular trauma, and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, on March 11, 2024, the Company received a subsequent installment of $20.0 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company is entitled to receive up to approximately $90.0 million in subsequent installments subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, as follows: (i) $40.0 million, at the Company’s option, upon the Company receiving FDA approval of the ATEV for the vascular trauma indication on or prior to December 31, 2024 and (ii) $50.0 million, at the Company’s option, upon reaching $35.0 million trailing worldwide three-month net sales any time prior to December 31, 2025. Each tranche is dependent on the satisfaction of the conditions and receipt of funds from the previous tranche. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Revenue Interests entitle the Purchasers to receive a royalty initially equal to 7.5% (the “Rate”) of global net sales of the Company’s products (subject to a lower rate for net sales by specified licensees outside the United States), to be paid on a calendar quarterly basis (the “Revenue Interest Payments”). If the Purchasers do not receive cumulative Revenue Interest Payments equal to 100% of the amount funded to date (the “Cumulative Purchaser Payments”) by the last business day of 2028 (the “Test Date”), the Rate will increase to a rate that, had such increased rate applied during the period from May 12, 2023 through the Test Date, would have provided the Purchasers with cumulative Revenue Interest Payments equal to the Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of the Test Date. Additionally, Global will be required to pay the Purchasers an amount equal to 100% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of the Test Date less the total Revenue Interest Payments made by Global to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement as of the Test Date. Global’s obligation to make Revenue Interest Payments terminates on the date on which the Purchasers have received Revenue Interest Payments of 150% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments unless the Purchase Agreement is terminated earlier due to the Purchaser’s exercise of a Put Option, the Company’s exercise of a call option, or by mutual consent. However, if the Purchasers have not received such Revenue Interest Payments as of the Test Date, the Purchase Agreement will instead terminate on the date on which the Purchasers receive Revenue Interest Payments of 195% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments. Under the Purchase Agreement, Global has an option (the “Call Option”) to repurchase the Revenue Interests and terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time upon advance written notice. Additionally, the Purchasers have an option (the “Put Option”) to terminate the Purchase Agreement and to require Global to repurchase the Revenue Interests upon enumerated events such as a bankruptcy event, an uncured material breach, a material adverse effect or a change of control. If (i) the Put Option is exercised by May 12, 2026, or (ii) the Call Option is exercised on or prior to May 12, 2026, then in each case, the required repurchase price will be 175% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments (minus the aggregate Revenue Interest Payments Global has made to the Purchasers as of such date). If a Put Option or Call Option is exercised after May 12, 2026, the required repurchase price will be 195% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments (minus the aggregate Revenue Interest Payments Global has made to the Purchasers as of such date). The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants for transactions of this type, including, among others, the provision of financial and other information to the Purchaser, notice to the Purchaser upon the occurrence of certain material events, and compliance with applicable laws. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, including certain restrictions on the ability to incur indebtedness and grant liens or security interests on assets. On February 18, 2024, the Company reached an agreement with the Purchasers and the Agent to waive certain breaches related to, and extend the deadline for certain post-closing obligations under, the Purchase Agreement, including the requirement for the Company to deliver a leasehold mortgage in favor of the Agent over the Company’s headquarters. On May 8, 2024, the Company agreed with the Purchasers to amend the Purchase Agreement, the effect of which was to remove requirements related to the leasehold mortgage. In exchange for the removal of these requirements, the Company funded an account in an amount of $54.0 million on August 14, 2024, over which the Agent has certain consent and other rights to $50.0 million of the funds. As of September 30, 2024, $50.0 million of the funded account was classified as long-term restricted cash on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has provided a parent company guaranty to guarantee the payment in full of the obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the parent company guaranty and Global’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Revenue Interests are secured by a perfected security interest on substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. The Purchase Agreement is considered a sale of future revenues and accounted for as long-term debt recorded at amortized cost using the interest method. The Company recorded a revenue interest liability related to the Purchase Agreement on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet on the date the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement, net of a debt discount comprised of $2.1 million issuance costs and transaction costs, $0.1 million fair value allocated to the Option Agreement, defined below, and the $2.4 million initial fair value of the bifurcated contingent derivative liability related to the Put Option. The revenue interest liability is based on the Company’s contractual repayment obligation to the Purchasers, based on the current estimates of future revenues, over the life of the Purchase Agreement. The Company imputes interest expense associated with this liability using the interest method. The effective interest rate is calculated based on the rate that would enable the debt to be repaid in full over the anticipated life of the arrangement. The interest rate on this liability may vary during the term of the agreement depending on a number of factors, including the level and expected timing of forecasted net sales. The Company evaluates the interest rate quarterly based on its current net sales forecasts. If the level and timing of any forecasted net sales and related payments change, the Company prospectively adjusts the effective interest and the related amortization of the liability and related issuance costs on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $62.1 million and $38.6 million, respectively, was recorded as a revenue interest liability. The estimated effective annual interest rate as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was 13.6% and 14.1%, respectively. The Company recorded $2.0 million and $5.6 million in interest expense related to the Purchase Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and recorded $1.0 million and $1.8 million in interest expense related to the Purchase Agreement for the three and nine month ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company incurred and paid $0.5 million of transaction costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 in connection with the Purchase Agreement. The transaction costs were capitalized to debt discount and are being amortized to interest expense over the estimated term of the debt, consistent with the issuance and transaction costs incurred in 2023 discussed above. The Put Option under the Purchase Agreement that is exercisable by the Purchasers upon certain contingent events was determined to be an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation and separately accounted for as a single compound derivative instrument. At May 12, 2023, the Company recorded the initial fair value of the derivative liability of $2.4 million as a debt discount. On March 11, 2024, upon the issuance of the second installment of the Purchase Agreement of $20.0 million, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative and recorded a $1.6 million increase in fair value as a debt discount. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the debt using the interest method. See Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements for a further discussion of the fair value of the contingent derivative liability associated with the Put Option. Revenue Interest Payments made as a result of the Company’s net product sales will reduce the revenue interest liability. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any product sales revenue. The following table summarizes the revenue interest liability activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024: ($ in thousands) Revenue interest liability at December 31, 2023 $ 38,600 Proceeds from revenue interest purchase agreement 20,000 Debt discount from embedded contingent derivative liability (1,552) Interest expense recognized 1,411 Transaction costs accrued at March 31, 2024 (500) Revenue interest liability at March 31, 2024 $ 57,959 Interest expense recognized 2,119 Revenue interest liability at June 30, 2024 $ 60,078 Interest expense recognized 2,039 Revenue interest liability at September 30, 2024 $ 62,117 Option Agreement In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into an option agreement with TPC Investments III LP and TPC Investment Solutions LP (the “Option Agreement”), which gave TPC Investments III LP and TPC Investment Solutions LP (the “Holders”) the right to purchase, in the aggregate, up to $10.0 million worth of shares of Common Stock (the “Option”) at a purchase price per share equal to the greater of $7.50, or the 15 day volume-weighted average price as of the exercise date, exercisable in cash only at any time prior to the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 and (ii) the closing date of a corporate reorganization. The Holders also received certain registration rights relating to the shares underlying the Option pursuant to the Option Agreement. The Holders purchased $1,950,000 of shares of Common Stock in the February 29, 2024 Offering, as defined in Note 8, and the Holders have the right to purchase up to $8,050,000 of shares of Common Stock under the Option Agreement. The Option granted to the Holders represents a freestanding instrument separate from the purchaser commitments outlined in the Purchase Agreement. The Option Agreement does not qualify for the equity contract scope exception under ASC 815-40 and the Company recorded the Option as a liability (“Option Agreement liability”) on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at an initial fair value of $55 thousand, with subsequent changes in the fair value to be recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss at each reporting date. The fair value of the Option Agreement liability as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $86 thousand and $35 thousand, respectively. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on May 12, 2023, $40.0 million, less certain transaction expenses, was funded to the Company, which was used to repay in full the Company’s existing obligations under its term loan agreement with SVB and SVB Innovation Credit Fund VIII, L.P., entered into on March 30, 2021, as amended in June 2021 and September 2021 (the “Loan Agreement”). In connection with the termination of the Loan Agreement, the Company paid a prepayment premium of $0.3 million and recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

On May 12, 2023, the Company received an initial payment of $40.0 million, less certain transaction expenses, which was used to repay in full the Company’s then-existing obligations under the Loan Agreement with SVB, as defined in Note 7 — Debt. In February 2024, the FDA accepted the Company’s BLA for an indication in vascular trauma, and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, on March 11, 2024, the Company received a subsequent installment of $20.0 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company is entitled to receive up to approximately $90.0 million in subsequent installments subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, as follows: (i) $40.0 million, at the Company’s option, upon the Company receiving FDA approval of the ATEV for the vascular trauma indication on or prior to December 31, 2024 and (ii) $50.0 million, at the Company’s option, upon reaching $35.0 million trailing worldwide three-month net sales any time prior to December 31, 2025. Each tranche is dependent on the satisfaction of the conditions and receipt of funds from the previous tranche. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Revenue Interests entitle the Purchasers to receive a royalty initially equal to 7.5% (the “Rate”) of global net sales of the Company’s products (subject to a lower rate for net sales by specified licensees outside the United States), to be paid on a calendar quarterly basis (the “Revenue Interest Payments”). If the Purchasers do not receive cumulative Revenue Interest Payments equal to 100% of the amount funded to date (the “Cumulative Purchaser Payments”) by the last business day of 2028 (the “Test Date”), the Rate will increase to a rate that, had such increased rate applied during the period from May 12, 2023 through the Test Date, would have provided the Purchasers with cumulative Revenue Interest Payments equal to the Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of the Test Date. Additionally, Global will be required to pay the Purchasers an amount equal to 100% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of the Test Date less the total Revenue Interest Payments made by Global to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement as of the Test Date. Global’s obligation to make Revenue Interest Payments terminates on the date on which the Purchasers have received Revenue Interest Payments of 150% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments unless the Purchase Agreement is terminated earlier due to the Purchaser’s exercise of a Put Option, the Company’s exercise of a call option, or by mutual consent. However, if the Purchasers have not received such Revenue Interest Payments as of the Test Date, the Purchase Agreement will instead terminate on the date on which the Purchasers receive Revenue Interest Payments of 195% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments. Under the Purchase Agreement, Global has an option (the “Call Option”) to repurchase the Revenue Interests and terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time upon advance written notice. Additionally, the Purchasers have an option (the “Put Option”) to terminate the Purchase Agreement and to require Global to repurchase the Revenue Interests upon enumerated events such as a bankruptcy event, an uncured material breach, a material adverse effect or a change of control. If (i) the Put Option is exercised by May 12, 2026, or (ii) the Call Option is exercised on or prior to May 12, 2026, then in each case, the required repurchase price will be 175% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments (minus the aggregate Revenue Interest Payments Global has made to the Purchasers as of such date). If a Put Option or Call Option is exercised after May 12, 2026, the required repurchase price will be 195% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments (minus the aggregate Revenue Interest Payments Global has made to the Purchasers as of such date). The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants for transactions of this type, including, among others, the provision of financial and other information to the Purchaser, notice to the Purchaser upon the occurrence of certain material events, and compliance with applicable laws. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, including certain restrictions on the ability to incur indebtedness and grant liens or security interests on assets. On February 18, 2024, the Company reached an agreement with the Purchasers and the Agent to waive certain breaches related to, and extend the deadline for certain post-closing obligations under, the Purchase Agreement, including the requirement for the Company to deliver a leasehold mortgage in favor of the Agent over the Company’s headquarters. On May 8, 2024, the Company agreed with the Purchasers to amend the Purchase Agreement, the effect of which was to remove requirements related to the leasehold mortgage. In exchange for the removal of these requirements, the Company funded an account in an amount of $54.0 million on August 14, 2024, over which the Agent has certain consent and other rights to $50.0 million of the funds. As of September 30, 2024, $50.0 million of the funded account was classified as long-term restricted cash on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has provided a parent company guaranty to guarantee the payment in full of the obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the parent company guaranty and Global’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Revenue Interests are secured by a perfected security interest on substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. The Purchase Agreement is considered a sale of future revenues and accounted for as long-term debt recorded at amortized cost using the interest method. The Company recorded a revenue interest liability related to the Purchase Agreement on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet on the date the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement, net of a debt discount comprised of $2.1 million issuance costs and transaction costs, $0.1 million fair value allocated to the Option Agreement, defined below, and the $2.4 million initial fair value of the bifurcated contingent derivative liability related to the Put Option. The revenue interest liability is based on the Company’s contractual repayment obligation to the Purchasers, based on the current estimates of future revenues, over the life of the Purchase Agreement. The Company imputes interest expense associated with this liability using the interest method. The effective interest rate is calculated based on the rate that would enable the debt to be repaid in full over the anticipated life of the arrangement. The interest rate on this liability may vary during the term of the agreement depending on a number of factors, including the level and expected timing of forecasted net sales. The Company evaluates the interest rate quarterly based on its current net sales forecasts. If the level and timing of any forecasted net sales and related payments change, the Company prospectively adjusts the effective interest and the related amortization of the liability and related issuance costs on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $62.1 million and $38.6 million, respectively, was recorded as a revenue interest liability. The estimated effective annual interest rate as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was 13.6% and 14.1%, respectively. The Company recorded $2.0 million and $5.6 million in interest expense related to the Purchase Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and recorded $1.0 million and $1.8 million in interest expense related to the Purchase Agreement for the three and nine month ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company incurred and paid $0.5 million of transaction costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 in connection with the Purchase Agreement. The transaction costs were capitalized to debt discount and are being amortized to interest expense over the estimated term of the debt, consistent with the issuance and transaction costs incurred in 2023 discussed above. The Put Option under the Purchase Agreement that is exercisable by the Purchasers upon certain contingent events was determined to be an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation and separately accounted for as a single compound derivative instrument. At May 12, 2023, the Company recorded the initial fair value of the derivative liability of $2.4 million as a debt discount. On March 11, 2024, upon the issuance of the second installment of the Purchase Agreement of $20.0 million, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative and recorded a $1.6 million increase in fair value as a debt discount. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the debt using the interest method. See Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements for a further discussion of the fair value of the contingent derivative liability associated with the Put Option. Revenue Interest Payments made as a result of the Company’s net product sales will reduce the revenue interest liability. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any product sales revenue. The following table summarizes the revenue interest liability activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024: ($ in thousands) Revenue interest liability at December 31, 2023 $ 38,600 Proceeds from revenue interest purchase agreement 20,000 Debt discount from embedded contingent derivative liability (1,552) Interest expense recognized 1,411 Transaction costs accrued at March 31, 2024 (500) Revenue interest liability at March 31, 2024 $ 57,959 Interest expense recognized 2,119 Revenue interest liability at June 30, 2024 $ 60,078 Interest expense recognized 2,039 Revenue interest liability at September 30, 2024 $ 62,117 Option Agreement In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into an option agreement with TPC Investments III LP and TPC Investment Solutions LP (the “Option Agreement”), which gave TPC Investments III LP and TPC Investment Solutions LP (the “Holders”) the right to purchase, in the aggregate, up to $10.0 million worth of shares of Common Stock (the “Option”) at a purchase price per share equal to the greater of $7.50, or the 15 day volume-weighted average price as of the exercise date, exercisable in cash only at any time prior to the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 and (ii) the closing date of a corporate reorganization. The Holders also received certain registration rights relating to the shares underlying the Option pursuant to the Option Agreement. The Holders purchased $1,950,000 of shares of Common Stock in the February 29, 2024 Offering, as defined in Note 8, and the Holders have the right to purchase up to $8,050,000 of shares of Common Stock under the Option Agreement. The Option granted to the Holders represents a freestanding instrument separate from the purchaser commitments outlined in the Purchase Agreement. The Option Agreement does not qualify for the equity contract scope exception under ASC 815-40 and the Company recorded the Option as a liability (“Option Agreement liability”) on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at an initial fair value of $55 thousand, with subsequent changes in the fair value to be recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss at each reporting date. The fair value of the Option Agreement liability as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $86 thousand and $35 thousand, respectively. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on May 12, 2023, $40.0 million, less certain transaction expenses, was funded to the Company, which was used to repay in full the Company’s existing obligations under its term loan agreement with SVB and SVB Innovation Credit Fund VIII, L.P., entered into on March 30, 2021, as amended in June 2021 and September 2021 (the “Loan Agreement”). In connection with the termination of the Loan Agreement, the Company paid a prepayment premium of $0.3 million and recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)	9 Months Ended
Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)	Sep. 30, 2024
Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)	Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) Public Offering On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale in an underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of 15,410,000 shares of Common Stock, which included a full exercise of the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $3.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $43.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and Offering expenses. The Offering closed on March 5, 2024. Equity Line Financing On September 24, 2024, the Company entered into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park for an equity line financing, which provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company has the sole right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park shares of Common Stock having an aggregate value of up to $50.0 million over a 24-month period. The Company controls the timing and amount of any sales of Purchase Shares to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement in its sole discretion. In consideration for entering into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 115,705 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to Lincoln Park. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Commitment Shares. The fair value of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement was measured on the issuance date based on the fair value of the Commitment Shares, which was the consideration given to Lincoln Park in exchange for entering into the agreement. The fair value of the Commitment Shares on the issuance date was determined to be $0.7 million based on the closing price of the Common Stock on September 24, 2024, which was $6.12 per share. The Company recognized the fair value of the Commitment Shares as a non-current asset as a component of long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Common Stock Purchase Agreement is subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has sold 200,000 shares to Lincoln Park for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.0 million, and the Company had $49.0 million in remaining availability for sales of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. From September 30, 2024 through November 8 2024, the Company sold 300,000 shares to Lincoln Park for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.5 million. Common Stock As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorized the Company to issue 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding or reserved for issuance) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in interest of the Common Stock. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends from time to time as may be declared by the Company’s board of directors. Through September 30, 2024, no dividends have been declared. The Purchase Agreement limits the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to the holders of Common Stock. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held with respect to all matters voted on by the common stockholders of the Company. In the event of a reorganization of the Company, after payment to any preferred stockholders of their liquidation preferences, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all remaining assets of the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had reserved Common Stock for future issuances as follows: September 30, Common stock reserved for Contingent Earnout Shares 15,000,000 Common stock reserved for Common Stock Purchase Agreement 12,300,000 Common stock reserved for Option Agreement 1,073,333 (1) Exercise of options outstanding under stock plans 12,287,369 Options available for issuance under stock plans 5,864,288 Shares available for grant under ESPP 1,030,033 Warrants to purchase Common Stock 5,588,506 53,143,529 ___________________________ (1) Assumes the exercise of the $8,050,000 of shares of Common Stock remaining under the Option as provided for in the Option Agreement at the minimum purchase price of $7.50 per share. See Note 13 — Subsequent Events for a summary of Common Stock and warrants issued as part of the Registered Direct Offering that closed on October 7, 2024. Preferred Stock The Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides the Company’s board of directors with the authority to issue preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in one more series and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, by adopting a resolution and filing a certificate of designations. Voting powers, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions. There were 20,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock and none were outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Warrants The Company had the following Common Stock warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Common Stock Warrants Outstanding Legacy Humacyte Common Stock Warrants 411,006 Private Placement Warrants 177,500 Public Warrants 5,000,000 Total Common Stock Warrants 5,588,506 In connection with the Company’s Loan Agreement, in 2021 the Company granted warrants to the lenders to purchase 411,006 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.28 per share (such warrants, “Legacy Humacyte Common Stock Warrants”). The Company recognized the fair value of the warrants within stockholders’ equity using a Black-Scholes valuation model, as the settlement of the warrants is indexed to the Common Stock. There were no issuances, exercises or expirations of warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023. In connection with the Registered Direct Offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,681,820 shares of Common Stock. See Note 13 — Subsequent Events for additional information. In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed 5,000,000 publicly-traded warrants ( “ Public Warrants ” ) and 177,500 private placement warrants issued to AHAC Sponsor LLC (the “ Sponsor ” ), Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and Northland Securities, Inc., in connection with AHAC ’ s initial public offering ( “ Private Placement Warrants ” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “ Common Stock Warrants ” ). The Common Stock Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Company evaluated the Common Stock Warrants to determine the appropriate financial statement classification upon the consummation of the Merger. The Common Stock Warrants are not mandatorily redeemable and are considered to be freestanding instruments as they are separately exercisable into Common Stock. As such, the Common Stock Warrants were not classified as liabilities under FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity . The Company then evaluated the Common Stock Warrants under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging . Public Warrants The Public Warrants are publicly traded and are exercisable for cash unless certain conditions occur, such as the failure to have an effective registration statement related to the shares issuable upon exercise or redemption by the Company under certain conditions, at which time the Public Warrants may be eligible for a cashless exercise. The Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares and will expire five years after the completion of the Merger. The Public Warrants are considered to be “indexed to the Company’s own stock.” The agreement provides that in the event of a tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company ’ s Common Stock, all holders of the Common Stock Warrants (both the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants) would be entitled to receive cash for all of their Common Stock Warrants. As the Company has a single class of Common Stock, a qualifying cash tender offer of more than 50% of the Common Stock will always result in a change in control and would not preclude permanent equity classification of the Public Warrants. Based on this evaluation, the Company concluded that the Public Warrants meet the criteria to be classified within stockholders ’ equity. The Public Warrants were initially recognized as equity on the Closing Date at a fair value of $2.80 per share. Private Placement Warrants The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable for cash so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The agreement governing the Common Stock Warrants includes a provision, the application of which could result in a different settlement value for the Private Placement Warrants depending on their holder. Because the holder of an instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on the Common Stock, the Private Placement Warrants are not considered to be “ indexed to the Company ’ s own stock ” and therefore are not classified in stockholders ’ equity. As the Private Placement Warrants meet the definition of a derivative, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss at each reporting date. The Private Placement Warrants were initially recognized as a liability on the Closing Date, at a fair value of $0.6 million. See Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements for a summary of the change in the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The remeasurement of the Private Placement Warrant liability to a fair value of $0.4 million as of September 30, 2024 from $0.1 million as of December 31, 2023 resulted in non-cash losses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to an insignificant non-cash gain for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and a non-cash loss of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The remeasurement of the Private Placement Warrant liability is classified within Change in fair value of derivatives in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Private Placement Warrants were valued using the following assumptions under the Monte Carlo simulation value model: September 30, December 31, Market price of public stock $ 5.44 $ 2.84 Exercise price $ 11.50 $ 11.50 Expected term (years) 1.90 2.65 Expected share price volatility 108.0 % 75.0 % Risk-free interest rate 3.69 % 4.09 % Estimated dividend yield 0 % 0 % Contingent Earnout Liability Following the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), former holders of Legacy Humacyte common and preferred shares are eligible to receive up to 15,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Contingent Earnout Shares”) in the aggregate, in two equal tranches of 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock per tranche. The first and second tranches are issuable if the closing volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share of Common Stock quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) (or the exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed), is greater or equal to $15.00 and $20.00, respectively, over any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading day period. Upon the Closing, the contingent obligation to issue Contingent Earnout Shares was accounted for as a liability because the triggering events that determine the number of Contingent Earnout Shares required to be issued include events that are not solely indexed to the Common Stock. The Contingent Earnout Shares are subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The estimated fair value of the total Contingent Earnout Shares at the Closing on August 26, 2021 was $159.4 million based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over a 10-year period using the most reliable information available. See Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements for a summary of the change in the fair value of the Contingent Earnout Liability during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The remeasurement of the Contingent Earnout Liability to a fair value of $76.6 million as of September 30, 2024, from a fair value of $37.9 million as of December 31, 2023, resulted in non-cash losses of $8.5 million and $38.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to non-cash losses of $1.1 million and $11.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, related to the remeasurement of the Contingent Earnout Liability. The remeasurement of the Contingent Earnout Liability is classified within Change in fair value of Contingent Earnout Liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The assumptions utilized in the calculations of fair value were based on the achievement of certain stock price milestones, including the current Common Stock price, expected volatility, risk-free rate, expected term and expected dividend yield. Assumptions used in the valuations are described below: September 30, December 31, Current stock price $ 5.44 $ 2.84 Expected share price volatility 84.2 % 86.7 % Risk-free interest rate 3.81 % 3.88 % Estimated dividend yield 0 % 0 % Expected term (years) 10.00 10.00

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation	9 Months Ended
Stock-based Compensation	Sep. 30, 2024
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation At Closing, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan, (the “2021 Plan”), and the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (the “ESPP”), became effective. Under the 2021 Plan, the Company can grant non-statutory stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock, performance awards and other forms of awards. Under the ESPP, when and if implemented, eligible employees will be permitted to purchase shares of Common Stock at the lower of 85% of the closing trading price per share of Common Stock on the first day of the offering or 85% of the closing trading price per share on the exercise date, which will occur on the last day of each offering. The 2021 Plan and ESPP provide that on January 1 of each year commencing January 1, 2022, the 2021 Plan and the ESPP reserve will automatically increase in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 5% and 1%, respectively, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year and (b) a number of shares of Common Stock determined by the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s board of directors determined that there would be no automatic increase in the number of shares reserved under the 2021 Plan on either January 1, 2022 or January 1, 2023. The 2021 Plan share reserve automatically increased on January 1, 2024 by 5,183,686 shares, which was equivalent to 5% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31, 2023. Since the inception of the ESPP, the Company’s board of directors has determined that there would be no automatic increase in the number of shares reserved under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2024, 5,864,288 and 1,030,033 shares of Common Stock were available under the 2021 Plan and ESPP, respectively. Prior to the Closing, Legacy Humacyte had two equity incentive plans, the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2015 Plan”), and the 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”). As a result of the Merger, no further awards will be granted under either the 2015 Plan or the 2005 Plan. All awards previously granted and outstanding as of the effective date of the Merger were adjusted to reflect the impact of the Merger as set forth in the Merger Agreement, but otherwise retained their original terms. The shares underlying any award granted under the 2021 Plan or the 2015 Plan that are forfeited, cancelled or reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, that expire or that are paid out in cash rather than shares will become available for grant and issuance under the 2021 Plan. As of September 30, 2024, 8,558,936, 3,726,781 and 1,652 shares of Common Stock remain reserved for outstanding options issued under the 2021 Plan, the 2015 Plan and the 2005 Plan, respectively. The Company has sufficient authorized and unissued shares to issue Common Stock in satisfaction of any outstanding awards and any awards available for grant under the 2021 Plan. The Company’s stock option plans allow for the grant of awards that the Company believes aid in aligning the interests of award recipients with those of its stockholders. The Company’s board of directors or compensation committee determines the specific terms of equity incentive grants, including the exercise price per share and vesting period for option awards. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. The Company has granted options that include either a service-based or performance-based vesting condition, or both, and a 10-year contractual term. The service-based vesting condition for the plans is generally satisfied over 36 to 48 months from the date of grant. The performance-based vesting conditions are satisfied upon the attainment of certain product development milestones. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of the awards measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense related to awards with service-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the grant-date fair value of an award. These assumptions include the risk-free rate of interest, expected dividend yield, expected volatility, the expected term of the award, and the fair value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Compensation expense related to awards with performance-based vesting conditions is recognized over the requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method to the extent achievement of the performance-based condition is probable. The Company does not recognize compensation expense related to awards with performance-based vesting conditions until it is probable that the performance-based vesting condition will be achieved. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Option awards under the Company’s option plans generally provide for accelerated vesting of the unvested portions of any option award in the event of an involuntary termination, as such term is defined in the relevant stock option agreement, of a grantee’s employment during the period that commences 30 days prior to the effective date of a corporate transaction and that ends 12 months following the effective date of such transaction. Additionally, the Company’s board of directors may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any unvested stock options in the event of a corporate transaction. The Company estimated the fair value of the stock options on the date of grant using the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Estimated dividend yield 0 % 0 % 0 % 0 % Expected share price volatility (weighted average and range, if applicable) 92.8% 89.8% 91.8% (90.8% to 92.8%) 89.0% (88.6% to 89.8% Risk-free interest rate (weighted average and range, if applicable) 3.54% 4.39% 4.12% (3.54% to 4.41%) 3.91% (3.58% to 4.39%) Expected term of options (in years) 6.25 6.25 6.25 6.25 • Fair Value of Common Stock. The fair value of the Common Stock has been determined based on the closing price of the shares on Nasdaq. • Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that stock options are expected to be outstanding. The Company calculated the expected term using the simplified method for options, which is available where there is insufficient historical data about exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The simplified method is based on the vesting period and the contractual term for each grant, or for each vesting-tranche for awards with graded vesting. The mid-point between the vesting date and the maximum contractual expiration date is used as the expected term under this method. For awards with multiple vesting-tranches, the times from grant until the mid-points for each of the tranches may be averaged to provide an overall expected term. • Expected Volatility. The expected volatility was determined based on a blended approach using the historical share volatility of the Common Stock and that of several publicly traded peer companies over a period of time equal to the expected term of the options, as the Company has a limited trading history. For purposes of identifying these peer companies, the Company considered the industry, stage of development, size and financial leverage of potential comparable companies. • Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon securities with maturities similar in duration to the expected term of the options. • Expected Dividend Yield. The Company has not paid dividends on its Common Stock nor does it expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company has estimated the dividend yield to be zero.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and, if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period. No such adjustment was made as of September 30, 2024. The Company’s effective federal and state tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 0%, primarily as a result of estimated net operating losses for the fiscal year to date offset by the increase in the valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset. The Company did not record any income tax expense or benefit during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company has a net operating loss and has provided a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainties regarding the Company’s ability to realize these assets. All losses before income taxes arose in the United States.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Patent License Agreements Duke University In March 2006, the Company entered into a license agreement with Duke University (“Duke”), which was subsequently amended in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2022. Under this license agreement, Duke granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive, sublicensable license to certain patents related to decellularized tissue engineering, referred to as the patent rights, as well as a non-exclusive license to use and practice certain know-how related to the patent rights. The relevant licensed patent on decellularization of tissue expired in 2021. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, register, market and sell products utilizing the patent rights, referred to as the licensed products. Any services provided to a third party utilizing licensed products are referred to as licensed services. The Company has also agreed to meet certain benchmarks in its development efforts, including as to development events, clinical trials, regulatory submissions and marketing approval, within specified timeframes. Under the license agreement, Duke retains the right to use the patent rights for its own educational and research purposes, and to provide the patent rights to other non-profit, governmental or higher-learning institutions for non-commercial purposes without paying royalties or other fees. In connection with the Company’s entry into the license agreement, the Company granted equity consideration to Duke in the form of 52,693 shares of Common Stock. Under the license agreement, the Company also agreed to pay Duke: • a low single-digit percentage royalty on eligible sales of licensed products and licensed services, plus a low double-digit percentage of any sublicensing revenue; • an annual minimum royalty beginning in 2012, which increases in the calendar year immediately following the first commercial sale of licensed products or licensed services (whichever occurs first); and • an additional amount in license fees, as certain milestones are met. The license agreement remains effective until the later of (i) the last of the patent rights expires or (ii) four years after the Company’s first commercial sale, unless terminated earlier. Either party may terminate the agreement for fraud, willful misconduct or illegal conduct, or uncured material breach. Duke may terminate the agreement if the Company becomes insolvent. Duke may also terminate the license, convert the license into a non-exclusive license or seek assignment of any sublicense if the Company fails to reach diligence milestones within the applicable time period. If the Company abandons any claim, patent or patent application, its rights under the license with respect to such patent rights will be terminated in the territory in which the Company abandons such rights. The Company may terminate the license agreement unilaterally upon three months’ prior notice to Duke. The Company agrees to indemnify Duke against certain third-party claims. In December 2023, the Company filed a BLA with the FDA for urgent arterial repair following extremity vascular trauma when synthetic graft is not indicated, and when autologous vein use is not feasible. Based on the achievement of this milestone under the Duke license agreement, the Company recorded license expense payable of $0.5 million in accounts payable in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023. The Company paid the $0.5 million license fee to Duke during the first quarter of 2024. Other payments to Duke under the license agreement were immaterial during the periods presented. Yale University In August 2019, the Company entered into a license agreement with Yale University (“Yale”) that granted the Company a worldwide license to the patents related to the biovascular pancreas (“BVP”) product candidate (the “BVP License Agreement”). The license granted under the BVP License Agreement is exclusive in the field of engineered vascular tissues that deliver pancreatic islet cells to patients, except that it is subject to Yale’s non-exclusive right, on behalf of itself and all other non-profit academic institutions, to use the licensed products for research, teaching, and other non-commercial purposes. The Company has agreed to pay to Yale an annual maintenance fee, increasing between the first and fourth anniversaries of the BVP License Agreement up to a maximum of less than $0.1 million per year for this license. In August 2019, the Company entered into a license agreement with Yale that granted the Company a worldwide license to the patents related to tubular prostheses (the “Tubular Prosthesis License Agreement”). The license granted under the Tubular Prosthesis License Agreement is exclusive in the field of engineered urinary conduits, engineered tracheas/airways, and engineered esophagi, except that it is subject to Yale’s non-exclusive right, on behalf of itself and all other non-profit academic institutions, to use the licensed products for research, teaching, and other non-commercial purposes. The Company has agreed to pay to Yale an annual maintenance fee, increasing between the first and fourth anniversaries of the Tubular Prosthesis License Agreement up to a maximum of less than $0.1 million per year for this license. The Company has agreed to use reasonable commercial efforts to develop and commercialize the licensed patents and any licensed products and methods, and to use reasonable efforts to make the licensed products available to patients in low and low-middle income countries. The Company is also obligated to provide Yale periodically an updated and revised copy of its plan for each license, which must indicate progress of its development and commercialization. The Company may also sublicense the Company’s rights without Yale’s prior written consent, but such sublicense is subject to certain conditions. In connection with its entry into the Tubular Prosthesis License Agreement, the Company paid Yale upfront cash fees. The Company has also agreed to pay Yale: • annual maintenance fees, increasing annually until the fifth anniversary for the BVP License Agreement and until the fourth anniversary for the Tubular Prostheses License Agreement up to a maximum of less than $0.1 million per year; • milestone payments upon achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively; • a low single-digit percentage royalty on worldwide net sales, subject to reductions for third-party license fees; and • a low double-digit percentage of sublicensing income. If the Company or any of its future sublicensees bring a patent challenge against Yale or assists another party in bringing a patent challenge against Yale, the license fees described above will be subject to certain increases and penalties. The BVP License Agreement and Tubular Prosthesis License Agreement expire on a country-by-country basis on the date on which the last of the patents in such country expires, lapses or is declared invalid. Yale may terminate the BVP License Agreement and Tubular Prosthesis License Agreement if the Company fails to (i) provide written diligence reports, (ii) provide commercially reasonable diligence plans, (iii) implement the plans in accordance with the obligations under the agreements, or (iv) reach certain research and development milestones within the scheduled timeframe set forth in the agreements; however, any such termination right would be limited in scope to the country to which such failure relates. Yale may also terminate for the Company’s non-payment, uncured material breach, failure to obtain adequate insurance, bringing or assisting in bringing of a patent challenge against Yale, abandonment of the research and development of the Company’s products or insolvency. The Company may terminate the BVP License Agreement and Tubular Prosthesis License Agreement (i) on 90 days’ prior written notice to Yale, provided the Company is not in breach of the license agreements and has made all required payments to Yale thereunder and (ii) on written notice to Yale following an uncured material breach. With respect to the BVP License Agreement, the Company’s rights under the agreement will also terminate automatically with respect to a patent application or patent within the licensed patents in a specified country if, upon receipt of written notice from Yale, the Company does not agree to pay the patent filing, prosecution and maintenance fees incurred by Yale for such patent applications or patents in the specified country. Under certain circumstances, Yale may, at its option, convert the exclusive licenses to non-exclusive licenses if the Company declines to initiate certain infringement or interference proceedings with respect to the licensed patents. The Company has agreed to indemnify Yale against certain third-party claims. Payments to Yale under the BVP License Agreement and Tubular Prosthesis License Agreement were immaterial during the periods presented. JDRF Agreement On April 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Industry Discovery and Development Partnership Agreement with Breakthrough T1D (f/k/a JDRF International) (“JDRF,” and such agreement, the “JDRF Agreement”) to further develop and perform preclinical testing of the BVP, a product candidate designed to deliver insulin-producing islets using the ATEV as a means of treating patients with type 1 diabetes. According to the terms of the JDRF Agreement, JDRF will provide funding up to $0.8 million (“JDRF Award”) based on the achievement of certain research and development milestones related to the Company’s BVP. The JDRF Agreement refers to the total cumulative payments the Company has received from JDRF as of any point in time as the “Actual Award.” The Company received the first milestone payment of $80 thousand in April 2023 upon execution of the JDRF Agreement. In May 2024, the Company received the second milestone payment of $90 thousand and the third milestone payment of $150 thousand, based upon the achievement of certain research and development milestones specified in the JDRF Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, the Actual Award totaled $320 thousand. The Company determined that the JDRF Actual Award payments are to be classified as long-term debt under ASC 470, Debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The JDRF liability related to the Actual Award payments is reported at amortized cost and is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the JDRF liability is $251 thousand and $69 thousand, respectively. There was an insignificant amount of interest expense related to the JDRF liability recorded in each period presented. In accordance with the JDRF Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay JDRF: • a one-time royalty in an amount equal to four times the Actual Award, to be paid in three equal installments following the first commercial sale of any product containing the Company’s technology identified in the JDRF Agreement; • an additional royalty equal to the Actual Award at a specified payment date after net sales exceed $250 million; and • in the event of a license, sale or transfer of the Company’s rights to the product’s technology identified in the JDRF Agreement or a change of control transaction, a payment equal to 10% of any license or purchase price payments received by the Company up to an amount equal to four times the Actual Award (the “Royalty Cap”), less any previous royalty payments paid towards the Royalty Cap (the “Disposition Payment”). The Disposition Payment was determined to meet the definition of an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation and is measured at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized as other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, classified in change in fair value of derivatives. The JDRF Agreement expires on the date on which the Company has paid all of the royalty payments described above. Either party may terminate the JDRF Agreement for cause by providing the other party with written notice and allowing the other party 30 days to cure such breach. JDRF may terminate the JDRF Agreement without cause by providing 90 days’ notice to the Company at any time after April 1, 2024. Royalties on previously received milestone payments would remain due after a termination by JDRF without cause. Legal Matters The Company currently is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that management believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Indemnification To the extent permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences while the director or officer is, or was serving, at the Company’s request in such capacity. The indemnification period covers all pertinent events and occurrences during the director’s or officer’s service. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification arrangements is not specified in such arrangements; however, the Company has director and officer insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its exposure and enable the Company to recover a portion of any potential future amounts the Company could be required to make. To date, the Company has not incurred any costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions Fresenius Medical Care investments and distribution agreement In June 2018, the Company completed a $150 million financing transaction pursuant to which Fresenius Medical Care purchased shares of series D redeemable convertible preferred stock that at the Closing Date converted into 15,812,735 shares of Common Stock. In August 2021, Fresenius Medical Care invested $25 million as part of a private placement offering related to the Merger (the “PIPE Financing”) and received an additional 2.5 million shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Fresenius Medical Care in June 2018 which, as amended as of February 16, 2021, granted Fresenius Medical Care and its affiliates exclusive rights to develop outside the United States and European Union (the “EU”) and commercialize outside of the United States the Company’s 6 millimeter x 42 centimeter ATEV and all improvements thereto, and modifications and derivatives thereof (including any changes to the length, diameter or configuration of the foregoing), for use in vascular creation, repair, replacement or construction, including renal replacement therapy for dialysis access, the treatment of peripheral artery disease, and the treatment of vascular trauma, but excluding coronary artery bypass graft, pediatric heart surgery, or adhering pancreatic islet cells onto the outer surface of the distribution product for use in diabetic patients. Within the United States, Fresenius Medical Care will collaborate with the Company in its commercialization of the product in the field, including adoption of the distribution product as a standard of care in patients for which such use is supported by clinical results and health economic analyses. The Company is responsible for developing and seeking regulatory approval for the distribution product in the field in the United States. For countries outside the United States, the parties agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy certain agreed minimum market entry criteria for the distribution product in the field in such country. For the EU, once such criteria have been satisfied for the applicable country, or if the parties otherwise mutually agree to obtain regulatory approval for the distribution product in the field in the applicable country, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such regulatory approval (other than pricing approval), and Fresenius Medical Care agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the corresponding pricing approval. For the rest of the world (i.e., outside the United States and the EU), once such criteria have been satisfied for the applicable country, or if the parties otherwise mutually agree to obtain regulatory and pricing approval for the distribution product in the field in the applicable country, Fresenius Medical Care agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approvals, and the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to support Fresenius Medical Care in its efforts. Under the distribution agreement, the Company grants an exclusive, sublicensable license to Fresenius Medical Care under the patents, know-how and regulatory materials controlled by the Company during the term to commercialize the distribution product in the field outside the United States, subject to the Company’s retained rights to carry out its obligations under the distribution agreement. The Company also grants a non-exclusive, sublicensable license to Fresenius Medical Care under the patents, know-how and regulatory materials controlled by the Company during the term to develop the distribution product in accordance with the terms of the distribution agreement. In addition, the Company grants to Fresenius Medical Care, among other things, a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive sublicensable license under the patents and know-how that primarily relate to the distribution product or its manufacture and that were created, conceived or developed solely or jointly by or on behalf of Fresenius Medical Care in the performance of its activities under the distribution agreement. The distribution agreement provides that the Company will own all know-how and patents that primarily relate to the distribution product or its manufacture that are created, conceived or developed by or on behalf of either party in the performance of activities under the distribution agreement. Ownership of all other know-how, patents, materials and other intellectual property created, conceived or developed during the performance of activities under the distribution agreement will be determined in accordance with U.S. patent laws for determining inventorship. The Company is obligated to make payments to Fresenius Medical Care based on a share of aggregate net sales by or on behalf of the Company of the distribution product in the United States in the field. Such revenue-share payments will be a percentage of net sales in the low double digits, without regard to the calendar year in which such net sales are attributable, until such time that the Company has paid to Fresenius Medical Care a certain total amount, at which time the revenue-share will decrease to a percentage of net sales in the mid-single digits. The amounts that Fresenius Medical Care will be obligated to pay the Company under the distribution agreement for sales of the distribution product in the field outside of the United States will vary. Fresenius Medical Care agreed to pay the Company initially, on a country-by-country basis for sales outside of the United States, the amount equal to the average cost of manufacturing the Company’s distribution product plus a fixed dollar amount per unit. Following a specified period, on a country-by-country basis outside of the United States, Fresenius Medical Care will pay the Company a fixed percentage of net sales for each unit sold in such country, such that the Company will receive more than half of such net sales. The distribution agreement will generally continue on a country-by-country basis until the later of (a) the tenth anniversary of the launch date of the distribution product in the relevant country or (b) the expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim of specified patents in such country. Each party is permitted to terminate the distribution agreement for insolvency of, or, under certain circumstances, including various cure periods, material breach by the other party. Subject to a cure period, Fresenius Medical Care may also terminate the distribution agreement in its entirety or on a country-by-country basis (i) for certain withdrawals of regulatory approval or (ii) for termination or expiration of any of our in-licenses that is necessary for the exercise of Fresenius Medical Care’s rights, or the satisfaction of its obligations, under the distribution agreement. In addition, Fresenius Medical Care may terminate the distribution agreement for convenience on a country-by-country basis upon not less than 12 months’ written notice to the Company, although Fresenius Medical Care is not permitted to give such notice prior to the end of the second year following launch of the distribution product in such country. Each party is required to indemnify one another for certain third-party claims.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Sep. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements	Basis of Presentation The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The Company ’ s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related footnote disclosures are unaudited. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or any other period. The December 31, 2023 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not include all disclosures from the annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. There have been no significant changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 included in the Company ’ s Annual Report.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in the financial statements include stock-based compensation costs, right-of-use assets, accruals for research and development activities, contingent earnout liability, revenue interest liability, derivatives, fair value of common stock warrants and income taxes. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Segments	Segments The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment. The Company is developing proprietary, bioengineered, acellular human tissues, advanced tissue constructs and organ systems that are designed to be used in the treatment of diseases and conditions across a range of anatomic locations in multiple therapeutic areas. The Company’s chief executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, including amounts classified as restricted cash. Total cash balances exceeded insured balances by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by monitoring the financial stability of the institutions holding material cash and cash equivalents balances. The Company maintains the majority of these balances at a Global Systemically Important Bank, as designated by the Financial Stability Board. As of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash equivalents held in highly rated money market funds that are invested only in obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies. The Company has not experienced any credit loss relating to its cash and cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash
Employee Retention Credit	Employee Retention Credit The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provided refundable employee retention credits, which could be used to offset payroll tax liabilities. Under the provisions of the extension of the CARES Act, the Company qualified for the employee retention credit for the first three quarters of 2021, and the Company applied for the credit in February 2023. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP for accounting for grants to for-profit business entities, the Company accounted for the grant by applying Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 450, Contingencies . The Company received an employee retention credit of $3.1 million in July 2023, and recognized the credit as a component of other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss during the second quarter of 2023 after the Company received notices from the Internal Revenue Service specifying the amount of the credit receivable, and all uncertainties were resolved regarding receipt of the credit.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). The FASB issued this update to improve the disclosures about an entity’s reportable segments, including providing more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses, enhancing interim disclosure requirements and providing new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Entities should apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This ASU is applicable to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 on its disclosures included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). The FASB issued this update to improve the transparency and comparability of income tax disclosures, including requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and further disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption is permitted. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. This ASU is applicable to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures , establishes a hierarchy whereby inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value are prioritized, or the fair value hierarchy. There are three levels to the fair value hierarchy based on reliability of inputs, as follows: • Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. • Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these items. The Company evaluates assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them for each reporting period, utilizing valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The determination requires significant judgments to be made by the Company.
Common Stock Purchase Agreement	The Company evaluated the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and determined that the agreement should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-40, “ Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity”.
Contingent Derivative Liability	The debt pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as defined in Note 6, contains an embedded derivative related to the Put Option, as defined in Note 6, requiring bifurcation as a single compound derivative instrument. The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability using a “with-and-without” methodology. The “with-and-without” methodology involves valuing the whole instrument on an as-is basis and then valuing the instrument without the individual embedded derivative. The difference between the entire instrument with the embedded derivative compared to the instrument without the embedded derivative was the fair value of the derivative liability at issuance and each subsequent reporting period. In determining the fair value of the contingent derivative liability, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation value model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over a 10-year period. The estimated probability and timing of underlying events triggering the exercisability of the Put Option contained within the Purchase Agreement, forecasted cash flows and the discount rates are significant unobservable inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of the entire instrument with the embedded derivative.
Common Stock Warrants	In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed 5,000,000 publicly-traded warrants ( “ Public Warrants ” ) and 177,500 private placement warrants issued to AHAC Sponsor LLC (the “ Sponsor ” ), Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and Northland Securities, Inc., in connection with AHAC ’ s initial public offering ( “ Private Placement Warrants ” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “ Common Stock Warrants ” ). The Common Stock Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Company evaluated the Common Stock Warrants to determine the appropriate financial statement classification upon the consummation of the Merger. The Common Stock Warrants are not mandatorily redeemable and are considered to be freestanding instruments as they are separately exercisable into Common Stock. As such, the Common Stock Warrants were not classified as liabilities under FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity . The Company then evaluated the Common Stock Warrants under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging . Public Warrants The Public Warrants are publicly traded and are exercisable for cash unless certain conditions occur, such as the failure to have an effective registration statement related to the shares issuable upon exercise or redemption by the Company under certain conditions, at which time the Public Warrants may be eligible for a cashless exercise. The Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares and will expire five years after the completion of the Merger. The Public Warrants are considered to be “indexed to the Company’s own stock.” The agreement provides that in the event of a tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company ’ s Common Stock, all holders of the Common Stock Warrants (both the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants) would be entitled to receive cash for all of their Common Stock Warrants. As the Company has a single class of Common Stock, a qualifying cash tender offer of more than 50% of the Common Stock will always result in a change in control and would not preclude permanent equity classification of the Public Warrants. Based on this evaluation, the Company concluded that the Public Warrants meet the criteria to be classified within stockholders ’ equity. The Public Warrants were initially recognized as equity on the Closing Date at a fair value of $2.80 per share. Private Placement Warrants The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable for cash so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The agreement governing the Common Stock Warrants includes a provision, the application of which could result in a different settlement value for the Private Placement Warrants depending on their holder. Because the holder of an instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on the Common Stock, the Private Placement Warrants are not considered to be “ indexed to the Company ’ s own stock ” and therefore are not classified in stockholders ’
Contingent Earnout Liability	Upon the Closing, the contingent obligation to issue Contingent Earnout Shares was accounted for as a liability because the triggering events that determine the number of Contingent Earnout Shares required to be issued include events that are not solely indexed to the Common Stock. The Contingent Earnout Shares are subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Stock-Based Compensation	The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of the awards measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense related to awards with service-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the grant-date fair value of an award. These assumptions include the risk-free rate of interest, expected dividend yield, expected volatility, the expected term of the award, and the fair value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Compensation expense related to awards with performance-based vesting conditions is recognized over the requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method to the extent achievement of the performance-based condition is probable. The Company does not recognize compensation expense related to awards with performance-based vesting conditions until it is probable that the performance-based vesting condition will be achieved. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Fair Value of Common Stock. The fair value of the Common Stock has been determined based on the closing price of the shares on Nasdaq. • Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that stock options are expected to be outstanding. The Company calculated the expected term using the simplified method for options, which is available where there is insufficient historical data about exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The simplified method is based on the vesting period and the contractual term for each grant, or for each vesting-tranche for awards with graded vesting. The mid-point between the vesting date and the maximum contractual expiration date is used as the expected term under this method. For awards with multiple vesting-tranches, the times from grant until the mid-points for each of the tranches may be averaged to provide an overall expected term. • Expected Volatility. The expected volatility was determined based on a blended approach using the historical share volatility of the Common Stock and that of several publicly traded peer companies over a period of time equal to the expected term of the options, as the Company has a limited trading history. For purposes of identifying these peer companies, the Company considered the industry, stage of development, size and financial leverage of potential comparable companies. • Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon securities with maturities similar in duration to the expected term of the options. • Expected Dividend Yield. The Company has not paid dividends on its Common Stock nor does it expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company has estimated the dividend yield to be zero.
