Lesion of the olfactory epithelium accelerates prion neuroinvasion and disease onset when prion replication is restricted to neurons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Natural prion diseases of ruminants are moderately contagious and while the gastrointestinal tract is the primary site of prion agent entry, other mucosae may be entry sites in a subset of infections.

Synaptophysin and synaptoporin expression in the developing rat olfactory system [PDF]

, 1993
The expressions of two closely related synaptic vesicle antigens synaptophysin and synaptoporin were examined in the olfactory system of the adult rat and during pre- and postnatal development.

Serum-Free Medium Provides a Clinically Relevant Method to Increase Olfactory Ensheathing Cell Numbers in Olfactory Mucosa Cell Culture

Cell Transplantation, 2007
There is much evidence to suggest that transplanted olfactory ensheathing cells may ameliorate the functional deficits associated with injuries to the nervous system, especially the spinal cord.

Neuropathology of the Olfactory Mucosa in Chronic Rhinosinusitis [PDF]

American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy, 2010
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a complex heterogeneous inflammatory disease that affects the nasal cavity, but the pathological examination of the olfactory mucosa (OM) in this disease has been limited. Methods Nasal biopsy

Isolating Globose Basal Stem Cells from Albino Wistar Rats Using a Highly Specific Monoclonal Antibody [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2013
Introduction: Olfactory mucosa which is situated in the roof of the nasal cavity possesses an extremely peculiar and exceptional type of pluripotent stem cells called Globose Basal Cells (GBCs) which help in lifelong regeneration of the olfactory ...
