Several recent publications describe remarkably promising effects of transplanting olfactory ensheathing cells as a potential future method to repair human spinal cord injuries. But why were cells from the nose transplanted into the spinal cord? What are olfactory ensheathing cells, and how might they produce these beneficial effects? And more generally, what do we mean by spinal cord injury? To what extent can we compare repair in an animal to repair in a human?
最近的几篇出版物描述了移植嗅鞘细胞作为未来修复人类脊髓损伤的一种潜在方法所产生的显著的、令人鼓舞的效果。但是,为什么要将来自鼻子的细胞移植到脊髓中呢?嗅鞘细胞是什么,它们又是如何产生这些有益效果的呢?更一般地说,我们所说的脊髓损伤是什么意思?在多大程度上我们可以将动物的修复与人类的修复进行比较?
