## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells (OEC) to regenerate damaged spinal tracts and induce functional recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI) has been trialed in the clinic. Evidence suggests that the regenerative capacity of OEC is induced by soluble, secre

## Abstract Olfactory ensheathing cells (OEC) have the ability to promote regeneration in the nervous system. Hence, they hold promise for cell therapy. Most of the experimental studies have investigated the role of OECs taken from olfactory bulb (OB). However, for a clinical human application, olf
## Abstract During the last decade, olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) have been successfully applied in multiple experimental approaches aimed to repair damaged mammalian spinal cord. Some of these experiments have consequently been translated into clinical trials. Finding a reliable source of hum
