The inconclusive superiority debate of allogeneic versus autologous MSCs in treating patients with HFrEF: a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs by Omar T. F. Ahmed, Ziyad Tarek Ahmed, Abdulrahman W. Dairi, Maha Saad Zain Al-Abeden, Mohammed H. Alkahlot, Rana H. Alkahlot, Ghazi I. Al Jowf, Lars M. T. Eijssen, Khawaja Husnain Haider

“…The data were then plotted for various outcomes, including death, hospitalization, major adverse cardiac events, pump function parameters, and 6-min walk distance. Results The safety of MSC-based treatment has been consistently demonstrated with MSCs from autologous (AutoMSCs) and allogeneic (AlloMSCs) sources. …”
