Cell therapy for age-related disorders: myocardial infarction and stroke--a mini-review.

abstract：:Fishes exhibit a 'determinate' type of growth in short-lived species of warmer regions and an 'indeterminate' type in long-lived species of colder regions. Growth is measured in units of length and weight and is best represented as the specific growth rate. The relationship between weight and length provides an index ...
