The complete chloroplast genome sequence of × Zabel 'Hopa' (Rosaceae).

× Zabel 'Hopa' is an important crabapple cultivar with significant ornamental value. Here, we assembled its complete chloroplast (cp) genome using the next-generation sequencing technology to clarify the phylogenetic relationships in . The total length of the complete chloroplast genome was 160,230 base pairs (bp) with a GC content of 36.

Sertoli cells promote proliferation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in co-culture.

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a major source for cell transplantation. The proliferative ability of BMSCs is an important determinant of the efficiency of transplant therapy. Sertoli cells are "nurse" cells for development of sperm cells.
