Abstract
There is currently no real treatment for blinding disorders that stem from the degeneration of cells in the retina and affect at least 50 million individuals worldwide. The excitement that accompanied the first studies showing the potential of retinal cell transplantation to alleviate the progress of blindness in such diseases as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration has lost some of its momentum, as attempts to apply research to the clinic have failed so far to provide effective treatments. What these studies have shown, however, is not that the approach is flawed but rather that the steps that need to be taken to achieve a viable, clinical treatment are many. This review summarizes the course of retinal transplant studies and points to obstacles that still need to be overcome to improve graft survival and efficacy and to develop a protocol that is effective in a clinical setting. Emphasis is given particularly to the consequences of introducing transplants to sites that have been considered immunologically privileged and to the role of the major histocompatibility complex classes I and II molecules in graft survival and rejection.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
