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 …

THE ROAD LESS TAKEN: CHARACTERIZING THE TRIGEMINAL NERVE ROUTE OF NEUROINVASION BY RESPIRATORY SARS-COV-2
… and alterations in consciousness. Although the olfactory nerve is widely accepted as the primary route of neuroinvasion by which the etiological agent SARS-CoV-2 invades the brain, the trigeminal nerve may serve as an additional, yet often overlooked, neuroinvasive route. We initially conducted …

Investigation of Age Related Differences in the Rewiring of P2-Olfactory Receptor Neurons
Olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) maintain the ability to regenerate. These neurons reside in the olfactory epithelium and project axons that connect to the olfactory bulbs. Despite the diffuse distribution of ORNs in the olfactory epithelium, they converge at discrete glomeruli in the olfactory …

Polarization-Maintaining Fiber-Based Optical Coherence Tomography on Functional Imaging in Dense Nerve
… and functional (neural activity) of pike olfactory nerve. A dual-wavelength polarization-sensitive spectral-domain OCT system has been designed and constructed in house for depth-resolved optical recordings. The olfactory nerves dissected from pike were used with or without …

The Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and -2 in Olfactory Injury and Recovery
The olfactory system has the remarkable capacity for neurogenesis following injury. However, the molecular mechanisms important for reinnervation of the olfactory bulb (OB) remain unknown. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important components in many central nervous system (CNS) injury …

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 …

Nanocarriers for nose-to-brain delivery: a novel strategy for the treatment of CNS disorders
… from the nasal cavity to the brain through the olfactory epithelium by trigeminal nerve systems and olfactory nerve pathways thereby bypassing the BBB. The incorporation of drugs into nanoparticles (NPs) might be a promising approach to improve the amount of pharmaceuticals delivered to the CNS. …
