Olfactory ensheathing cells are unique glial cells which have the ability to encourage nerve fibres to grow, and may have potential for use as a therapy for spinal cord and brachial plexus injuries. These images show olfactory ensheathing cells in the olfactory mucosa of the nose, and provide insight into their function. The olfactory mucosa is likely to be a convenient source for these cells in future clinical studies of CNS repair.
嗅鞘细胞是一种独特的神经胶质细胞，具有促进神经纤维生长的能力，可能具有用于治疗脊髓和臂丛神经损伤的潜力。这些图像展示了鼻腔嗅黏膜中的嗅鞘细胞，并深入了解了它们的功能。在未来中枢神经系统修复的临床研究中，嗅黏膜可能是获取这些细胞的便利来源。
