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 …

Olfactory ensheathing cell mediated mechanisms of neurite outgrowth and axon regeneration
The capacity of the olfactory neuraxis to undergo neuronal replacement and axon targeting following injury, has led to scrutiny concerning the molecular and physical determinants of this growth capacity. This is because injury to the central nervous system, in contrast, leads to permanent …

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 …

Proteomic analysis of the olfactory mucosa, thoracic aorta, urinary bladder, and descending colon of smooth muscle alpha actin null mutant mice
… identified in the aorta, bladder, colon, and olfactory ensheathing cell population in the olfactory nervous system. These include impaired vascular contractility, thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections, hypocontractile bladders, gastrointestinal hypoperistalsis, and pathological OEC …

Response of sensorimotor pathways of the spinal cord to injury and experimental treatments
… following injury and then 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 …
