The myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) has been postulated to play a crucial role during myelin formation. Evidence supporting this hypothesis was provided by infecting rat Schwann cells with a retrovirus expressing MAG antisense RNA; these Schwann cells showed reduced levels of MAG expression and

## Abstract In a previous study we found that olfactory ensheathing cells transplanted into complete retrobulbar transections of the rat optic nerve mediated regeneration of severed retinal ganglion cell axons through the graft region. Although the regenerating axons were ensheathed by the transpla
The role of ensheathing cells, a macroglial cell type with a unique presence in the olfactory system, in the outgrowth of olfactory receptor cell neurites was explored in vitro. Glial cell cultures harvested from both the olfactory bulb nerve layer and the hippocampus were established and immunocyto
