Referee 1's review:

The work not only elegantly confirms the loss of microvasculature in dSSc but also demonstrates, with pathological techniques in skin of the forearm and trunk, the utility of HSCT in recovering the microvessels.

More details about the patients may be helpful: previous treatments, lung involvement etc.
