Axon regeneration can facilitate or suppress hindlimb function after olfactory ensheathing glia transplantation. [PDF]
Reports based primarily on anatomical evidence suggest that olfactory ensheathing glia (OEG) transplantation promotes axon regeneration across a complete spinal cord transection in adult rats. Based on functional, electrophysiological, and anatomical assessments, we found that OEG promoted axon regeneration across a complete spinal cord transection and

AbstractThe prospects of achieving regeneration in the central nervous system (CNS) have changed, as most recent findings indicate that several species, including humans, can produce neurons in adulthood. Studies targeting this property may be considered as potential therapeutic strategies to respond to injury or the effects of demyelinating diseases ...

A role for gangliosides and β1‐integrin in the motility of olfactory ensheathing glia [PDF]
AbstractOlfactory ensheathing glia (OEG) are found in the olfactory mucosa, nerve and bulb, and provide in vivo ensheathment for the unmyelinated olfactory axons within the central and peripheral nervous system domains. OEG cells are able to migrate long distances within the neuropil of the central nervous system.

Olfactory Ensheathing Glia: Their Application to Spinal Cord Regeneration and Remyelination Strategies [PDF]
Grafts of peripheral nerves or peripheral nervous system (PNS) Schwann cells were among the first successful strategies applied to promote regeneration in the central nervous system (CNS). However, glial cells of the PNS and CNS (Schwann cells and astrocytes, respectively) establish borders where they meet, preventing functional reconnection between ...

Unraveling the Role of Ensheathing Cells and Perineural Fibroblasts in Olfactory Neurogenesis. [PDF]
Main Points DEOs are similar to satellite glial cells. DECs react to neuronal injury by promoting lipid metabolism, but do not proliferate. ECs reduce gap junctions upon neuronal injury. Perineural fibroblasts also contribute to the injury response. ABSTRACT During development and following injury‐induced neurogenesis, olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs)

Shared Lineage, Distinct Outcomes: Yap and Taz Loss Differentially Impact Schwann and Olfactory Ensheathing Cell Development Without Disrupting GnRH-1 Migration. [PDF]
Main Points OECs, SCs, and Mel derive from SCPs. Sox10Cre;YapHet;TazKO mice show impaired SC maturation, reduced Mel formation, fewer SCPs, OECs, and olfactory neurons, but normal GnRH‐1 neuron migration. ABSTRACT Olfactory Ensheathing Cells (OECs) are glial cells originating from the neural crest and are critical for bundling olfactory axons to the ...

Glia Preserve Their Own Functions While Compensating for Neighboring Glial Cell Dysfunction. [PDF]
Main Points When cortex glia lose their interactions with neuronal cell bodies, all neighboring glia infiltrate the region to clear extra neuronal corpses. Even while compensating tor nearby glial dysfunction, glia maintain their own phagocytic Tunctions.

Olfactory Nerve Transection Transiently Activates Olfactory Ensheathing Cells in Xenopus laevis Larvae. [PDF]
The olfactory nerve of larval Xenopus is populated by olfactory ensheathing cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages. Olfactory nerve transection leads to activation of non‐neuronal cells. Activated non‐neuronal cells of the olfactory nerve may support regenerative processes.
