TRANSPLANT OF OLFACTORY ENHANCED GLIA, STEM CELLS AND OVEREXPRESSING SCHWANN CELLS AS MODELS OF REGENERATIVE THERAPY IN SPINAL CORD INJURIES
Abstract
New regenerative therapy in several pathological conditions of the spinal cord have been developped in animal models: transplant of olfactory enheancing glia (OEG), overexpressing schwann cells and stem cells, to increase the chances of therapeutical success in spinal cord injuries both in companion animals and in humans. The effect of transplanting neural stem cells for the treatment of spinal cord injuries has been studied with great interest during the last two decades. Studies regarding transplants in spinal cord injuries have been done and are still in a research state. Passing from studies on experimental rat models to clinical studies in human gives new perspectves for the recovery of the patients (both human and animals) with spinal cord disfunctions.a) Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.
