Olfactory ensheathing cell mediated mechanisms of neurite outgrowth and axon regeneration
… with targets. Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), a specialized glial cell, may contribute to olfactory repair, and have been used to promote recovery from spinal cord injury. However, there mechanisms underlying OEC-induced regeneration are poorly appreciated. To understand these …

Olfactory Ensheathing Cell Development: A Transcriptome Profiling Approach
Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), the glia of the olfactory nerve, are promising candidates for patient-specific cell-mediated repair of both peripheral nerves and the spinal cord. The recent discovery that OECs originate from the neural crest, rather than the olfactory epithelium as previously …

Computational Insights Into The Oxygen Evolving Complex Of Photosystem ΙΙ
<p>The Oxygen Evolving Complex (OEC) of Photosystem II (PSII) is a unique Mn4O5Ca2+ cluster that catalyzes the photoactivated water splitting reaction. The OEC is a model system for bio-inspired artificial systems to use solar energy to pull electrons from water to produce fuel. The OEC goes …

Promoting bridging axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury
Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are amongst the best candidates for cell transplantation into lesions of the central nervous system. These specialised glial cells are found in the olfactory system and are associated with the physiological restoration of neuronal circuitry in the first cranial …

A Comparative Analysis of the Neurochemical Properties of Olfactory Ensheathing Cells and their Biocompatibility in Various Biomatrices
Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are the chief glial population of the mammalian olfactory nervous system and are thought to be responsible for the successful directional growth of new olfactory axons throughout the life of adult mammals. Due to this unique property, OECs have been targeted as a …

Accounting for Strong Electronic Correlation in Metalloproteins
… of photosynthesis, the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) --- a CaMn\textsubscript{4}O\textsubscript{5} cluster --- catalyses water-to-oxygen-gas conversion. From a computational standpoint, accurately modelling the electronic structure of the OEC and other metalloproteins \emph{ab initio} is …

Migration of olfactory ensheathing cells grafted into adult rat spinal cord
Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are non-myelinating glial cells that provide ensheathment for axons of the olfactory nerve in vivo. OECs have been shown to facilitate the regeneration of CNS axons, to assemble a myelin sheath around demyelinated axons, and it has been suggested OECs migrate very …

Response of sensorimotor pathways of the spinal cord to injury and experimental treatments
… determine whether olfactory ensheathing cell (OEC) transplants or treatment with antibodies blocking the function of the myelin inhibitors Nogo and MAG could enhance this plasticity. An electrophysiological approach was used to investigate these questions in rats which were subjected to a …

Contribution of microglial reactivity to olfactory ensheathing cell migration in vivo
Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are glial cells that are an attractive candidate for neural repair after spinal cord injury and for remyelination of axons in diseases such as multiple sclerosis. OECs appear to migrate within the adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) in animal models of …

Oxygen-Enhanced Combustion: Theory and Applications
… the broadest sense, oxygen-enhanced combustion: OEC) refers to the use of oxygen to improve combustion and/or process characteristics. When a stream of oxygen is available, a wide range of flame configurations is possible. This work considers two specific configurations of OEC and is divided into …
