## Abstract Olfactory ensheathing glia (OEG) are a specialized type of glia that support the growth of primary olfactory axons from the neuroepithelium in the nasal cavity to the brain. Transplantation of OEG in the injured spinal cord promotes sprouting of injured axons and results in reduced cavi

## 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 glia (OEG) have been used to improve outcome after experimental spinal cord injury and are being trialed clinically. Their rapid proliferation __in vitro__ is essential to optimize clinical application, with neuregulins (NRG) being potential mitogens. We examined t
## Abstract Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) accompany receptor axons in the olfactory nerve and promote axonal growth into the central nervous system. The mechanisms underlying the communication between axons and OECs, however, have not been studied in detail yet. We investigated the effect of a
