This article is terrible, I feel it should be deleted or entirely rewritten. I am a researcher in this field and even just the introductory paragraph is highly inaccurate in most areas, and other areas are just so poorly written and explained, the points are not clear and much of it doesn't really make sense. I can often make small edits to help clarify articles, but I don't have the time to fix this one, it's almost useless. I don't see the need for this page at all really; I feel that a section about this should be included within a broader page on MSC in general. Just thought I should say something.

Misleading Article about a controversial topic

This article is highly misleading! It does not reflect the whole situation, but rather idealizes the use of mesenchymal stem cells, without discussing the very real dangers, that need to be addressed before we can benefit from MSC therapy. I will edit this article in 2 months, but for now, I highly suggest taking this article down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ParticularPuma (talk • contribs) 18:54, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Plan

I am a student editor and I plan to simplify the terms in this article to make it less technical

I also plan to add new sections in this page to present possible drawbacks and safety concerns of mesenchymal stem cells to make this article less biased.
