Astrocytes are key players in CNS neuroinflammation and neuroregeneration that may help or hinder recovery, depending on the context of the injury. Although pro‐inflammatory factors that promote astrocyte‐mediated neurotoxicity have been shown to be ...

Glial Cell-Axonal Growth Cone Interactions in Neurodevelopment and Regeneration
The developing nervous system is a complex yet organized system of neurons, glial support cells, and extracellular matrix that arranges into an elegant, highly structured network.

Chronic Spinal Injury Repair by Olfactory Bulb Ensheathing Glia and Feasibility for Autologous Therapy [PDF]
Olfactory bulb ensheathing glia (OB-OEG) promote repair of spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats after transplantation at acute or subacute (up to 45 days) stages. The most relevant clinical scenario in humans, however, is chronic SCI, in which no more major cellular or molecular changes occur at the injury site; this occurs after the third month in rodents.

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are neural crest‐derived glia that ensheath bundles of olfactory axons from their peripheral origins in the olfactory epithelium to their central targets in the olfactory bulb.

Olfactory Ensheathing Glia and Spinal Cord Injury: Basic Mechanisms to Transplantation
The adult CNS, unlike its counterpart the peripheral nervous system (PNS), has little ability to repair itself after traumatic injury. Therefore, neurotrauma involving the brain or spinal cord has severe and long-lasting functional consequences for injured patients, as well as a massive financial and social impact on the affected families and the ...

Olfactory Ensheathing Cells Express α7 Integrin to Mediate Their Migration on Laminin.
The unique glia located in the olfactory system, called olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), are implicated as an attractive choice for transplantation therapy following spinal cord injury because of their pro-regenerative characteristics.

Olfactory ensheathing cells in facial nerve regeneration
Introduction: Olfactory ensheathing cell is a unique kind of glia cells, which can promote axon growth. Little is known about the differences between olfactory mucosa olfactory ensheathing cells and olfactory bulb olfactory ensheathing cells in the ...

Perivascular/mural cells originate from either the mesoderm or the cranial neural crest. Regardless of their origin, Notch signalling is necessary for their formation. Furthermore, in both chicken and mouse, constitutive Notch1 activation (via expression

Transplantation of peripheral nervous system glia is being explored for treating neural injuries, in particular central nervous system injuries. These glia, olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) and Schwann cells (SCs), are thought to aid regeneration by ...
