The brain is well protected against microbial invasion by cellular barriers, such as the blood-
brain barrier (BBB) and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB). In addition, cells …

The prospects of achieving regeneration in the central nervous system (CNS) have
changed, as most recent findings indicate that several species, including humans, can …

Chlamydia pneumoniae is a respiratory tract pathogen but can also infect the central
nervous system (CNS). Recently, the link between C. pneumoniae CNS infection and late …

We describe a novel protocol for three-dimensional culturing of olfactory ensheathing cells
(OECs), which can be used to understand how OECs interact with other cells in three …

Myeloid lineage cells contribute to innate and acquired immunity, homeostasis, wound
repair, and inflammation. There is considerable interest in manipulation of their function in …

Olfactory ensheathing glial cells (OECs) are a specialized type of glia that form a
continuously aligned cellular pathway that actively supports unprecedented regeneration of …

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) constitute a unique population of glia that accompany
and ensheath the primary olfactory axons. They are thought to be critical for spontaneous …

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), the glial cells of the primary olfactory nervous system,
support the natural regeneration of the olfactory nerve that occurs throughout life. OECs thus …

Metformin, the popular anti-diabetic drug was shown to exert multiple biological effects. The
most recent metformin gained attention as an agent that mobilizes endogenous progenitor …

During development of the primary olfactory system, axon targeting is inaccurate and axons
inappropriately project within the target layer or overproject into the deeper layers of the …
