Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Therapy in Spinal Cord Injury: Mechanisms and Prospects.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to severe motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction in patients and imposes a huge economic cost to individuals and society. Due to its complicated pathophysiological mechanism, there is not yet an optimal treatment available for SCI. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are promising candidate transplant cells for use in SCI treatment.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Southern two-lined salamanders ().

The complete mitochondrial genome of the southern two-lined salamanders ( was determined in this study. The complete mitogenome sequence of is 16,759bp in length and contains 37 genes (13 protein coding genes (PGCs), two ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA genes and one control region). This is the first time of the mitochondrial genome sequencing for
