OLFACTORY ENSHEATHING CELLS (OECS) IN AN EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX FOR USE IN AXON REGENERATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method of inducing axon regeneration in central nervous tissue which has been damaged by a lesion, which method comprises implanting into the lesion a preparation of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) which are in an extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by the OECs cells themselves.
