Influence of adult Schwann cells and olfactory ensheathing glia on axontarget cell interactions in the CNS a comparative analysis using a retinotectal cograft model

We used an in vivo transplant approach to examine how adult Schwann cells and olfactory ensheathing glia (OEG) influence the specificity of axon–target cell interactions when they are introduced into the CNS. Populations of either Schwann cells or OEG were mixed with dissociated fetal tectal cells (presumptive superior colliculus) and, after re-aggregation, pieces were grafted onto newborn rat ...

Comparative gene expression profiling of olfactory ensheathing glia and Schwann cells indicates distinct tissue repair characteristics of olfactory ensheathing glia.

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 cavity formation, enhanced axonal and tissue sparing, remyelination, and angiogenesis. Gene expression analysis ma...

Evidence for a Notch1‐mediated transition during olfactory ensheathing cell development

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are a unique glial population found in both the peripheral and central nervous system: they ensheath bundles of unmyelinated olfactory axons from their peripheral origin in the olfactory epithelium to their central synaptic targets in the glomerular layer of the olfactory bulb. Like all other peripheral glia (Schwann cells, satellite glia, enteric glia), OECs ...
