## 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 Olfactory bulb ensheathing glia (OB‐OEG) from adult rodents promote functional and morphological repair after grafting into injured spinal cords. To provide insight into the feasibility of using OB‐OEG in human therapy, we studied OB‐OEG in primates to determine their suitability for sp
