Impact of cranial bone-derived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for functional recovery in experimental spinal cord injury

We compared the therapeutic effects and mechanism of transplanted rat cranial bone-derived mesenchmay stem cell (rcMSCs) and rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (rbMSCs) in a rat cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI) model. We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of rcMSCs and rbMSCs Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for rcMSCs and rbMSCs
