A Comparative Analysis of the Neurochemical Properties of Olfactory Ensheathing Cells and their Biocompatibility in Various Biomatrices

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are the chief glial population of the mammalian olfactory nervous system and are thought to be responsible for the successful directional growth of new olfactory axons throughout the life of adult mammals. Due to this unique property, OECs have been targeted as a p...
