Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The review provided reveals the analysis of the available scientific literature on the feasibility of using cellular technologies, such as, autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for diabetic retinopathy treatment. The results indicated the viability of cellular technologies in clinical ophthalmology with respect to anatomical features and immune privilege of the organ of vision. Additionally, feasibility, safety, and optimization of pathogenetic therapy for MSC transplantation expands the prospect of their use in late complications of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, in particular, diabetic retinopathy.
