Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Olfactory ensheathing cells are unique glial cells which have the ability to encourage nerve fibres to grow, and may have potential for use as a therapy for spinal cord and brachial plexus injuries. These images show olfactory ensheathing cells in the olfactory mucosa of the nose, and provide insight into their function. The olfactory mucosa is likely to be a convenient source for these cells in future clinical studies of CNS repair.
