Prospects of stem cell therapy for diabetic microvascular complications

Keiko Naruse. J Diabetes Investig. 2023 Jan.

Abstract

The expectations for the clinical application of stem cell therapy for diabetic microvascular complications are increasing, as stem cell transplantation improves histopathological abnormalities mainly through angiogenesis/protection, nerve elongation/protection, and anti-inflammatory effects.
